I have had the pleasure of being interviewed by Courtney at Babble and Books about writing, my first book (Legends of Marithia: Prophecies Awakening) and more.

Preview Below

I recently interviewed Fantasy writer Peter Koevari, Peter is an australian author of Legends of Marithia the first in a series of fantasy books. The Legends of Marithia was released in the USA and has had great success. I had the pleasure of asking Peter all about himself and his experiences with writing, I hope you enjoy the interview.

First of all, tell us a little bit about yourself?

I was brought into this world in Hungary, Europe and my parents immigrated into Australia when I was 6 years of age. My upbringing involved a lot of time playing video games, writing short stories, watching countless movies, and loving English classes in high school. I used to daydream a lot in classes that didn’t interest me and would take myself to places far in the depths of my imagination. I have a career in IT, love spending time with my family, love music, play guitar, enjoy blogging and love bringing the worlds in my imagination to life through writing.

You’re a writer of Fantasy novels, what drew you to that genre?

There is something fascinating about fantasy which makes me feel as if anything is possible. Rules that we know in the real world can be bent or broken and we meet creatures and elements that we would otherwise never know. I have fond memories of watching Star Wars, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Back to the Future, and countless movies that sent my imagination wild. I tried writing many genres when I was younger and attempted everything including mysteries, action, erotica, and fantasy. Out of everything I wrote, fantasy was the only genre that flowed out of me onto the pages and I loved returning to. I knew for the past 10 years that I had many worlds of fantasy within me and I wanted to share my stories with the world.

Michelle from “Torch Under The Blanket Books” has been kind enough to review Legends of Marithia: Prophecies Awakening.

“A tale to prove that children often suffer punishment for the crimes of their parents.  In this case, the punishment reaches across generations.  The disastrous decision of one human king to execute a mother and father in front of their child will set the wheels of prophecy in motion.  Making an enemy of the child of a sorceress and vampire king will reverberate through several lifetimes …”

Greetings everybody!

My last post gave the news, but now it’s actually available for Kindle and is being made available for all ebook readers as well.

The best news is, if you have a reader, or you downloaded the iPhone Kindle App, you can download the Kindle edition SAMPLE for free, and read both the Prologue and a large section of Chapter 1, which is not on my website or previewed anywhere else.

-=FAQs=-

Q) Are you doing this again?
A) This will be the LAST time/opportunity I will be doing any book signings, and this will be the ONLY party. Signed versions of my books will be a unique item and by me not doing any more signings, it keeps those books exclusive.

Q) Will you be addressing the party? Will there be a speech, etc?
A) I’m considering a “brief hints to get published” presentation to help anyone out there who wants to write and get published, but this may come in the form of a printed copy. I will likely quickly address everyone on the night, but don’t expect to be bored to death by a long speech… I won’t be doing that. If people want to know more about my book, writing, etc… they can talk to me.

Q) Will there be any surprises / entertainment on the night?
A) I am working on an exclusive video to be screened on the night, but equipment may not be available… in which case I will seek alternative methods of delivery. I have lots of ideas though. Nicola will bring her artwork for exhibition at the party, purchasing of artwork would be a conversation with her. There may be more special surprises / door prize / extras in store for anyone who comes, all depends on numbers, staffing, resources, and what I can organise in time.

Q) How will payments and tickets be managed?
A) Everything is now handled online through EVENTSBOT and PAYPAL. Ticket buying made easy
