About Peyton Wolcott

After  beginning her career at The Houston Chronicle and The San Antonio Express-News, Peyton Wolcott moved to Los Angeles and joined the Playwrights Kitchen Ensemble  at the Coronet Theatre, sold a screenplay to Paramount (unproduced), and also wrote speeches and edited business publications. Peyton went on to expose public education corruption before founding a successful national grassroots financial transparency movement for which she received the Sam Adams and Upton Sinclair awards.

“I was boppin’ along, relationships fairly transactional – you be nice to me and I’ll be nice to you – until I began fixating on Christ’s words, Love one another,” says Peyton. “Those words finally became clear and everything changed. Relationships became truer, more loving and honest.” When she nearly died two years ago it was time to finally write the book an angel had presented to her at age five on her Houston backyard patio. “Hair on Fire” is available online to read for free at peytonwolcott.us. “It doesn’t seem right for anybody to have to spend money to read about God’s miracles,” she says. Peyton lives in Horseshoe Bay with her USMC decorated war hero husband and has two children and six grandchildren, all of whom are incredibly wonderful.
