Poetry authored by Pete DeHart and published previously, demonstrates his ability to capture the temperate sensitivities of individuals; conversely, Meine Rache is his first full-length fictionalized novel probing the darker characteristics of human nature. He draws from his forty-year business experiences and extensive international travel for many of the images in the novel. After he retired from business in 2003, DeHart satisfied a lifelong ambition and in 2008 received a Doctor of Education. He now resides with his wife of nearly fifty years in a small community in the Rocky Mountains.
