Crafty work from a Peter V Brett fan

 

Peter V Brett ran a competition on his website recently called ‘Homemade Heroes’. Fans could make images of their favourite characters  – and scenes – from the book. Above and below are a couple of photos of the AMAZING winning entry by Mia.

Sharik Hora …

Mindblowing! If you haven’t already read ‘The Desert Spear’ where you really get into the culture and people behind ‘alagai sharak’ then you SHOULD and you’ll know that these pics are an amazing and creepy representation of some of those scenes in which the Krasian temple features.

And click here too so you can see more of the entry photos on Peter’s blog.

Have you got any artwork of your favourite characters or scenes from books?

Best costume award goes to …

Peter V Brett is off to Portugal today to go to, among other things, Forum Fantastico, and meet fans of The Painted Man and The Desert Spear.

If you’re not going to Portugal to see him (and fair enough, it’s not cheap to go to Europe though with the rising Aussie dollar things are looking good) then spend a bit of time on his website to see how some of his fans dressed up for Hallowe’en (imagine their pillows in the morning) … and one super tattoo from Dave of Dave’s Fantasy and SF website.

Save Peter V Brett from our questions!

Peter V Brett is coming in to the Voyager evil HQ tomorrow to have lunch with our Cabin Crew, the group of dedicated sf/f fans that wander around the building searching for the next 11-book series. We’ve prepared some questions for Peter, author of The Painted Man and The Desert Spear, and if you have any to add, just post them below and we’ll ask:

1. Is it necessary to be bearded if you are a male fantasy author?
2. What are your plans once the Demon Cycle series is finished?
3. How do you draw a line between your public profile and your private one when you share with fans?
4. What did you have for breakfast today?
5. Did you know that there are dropbears in Australia?

SAVE PETER FROM THESE QUESTIONS. GIVE US SOME BETTER ONES!

The Desert Spear is out NOW across Australia and New Zealand.

For more from Peter, visit his website Peephole in My Skull, and while there it’s well worth reading the guest post on the new image on his website (but beware, it does contain DS spoilers).

Peter V Brett to write Red Sonja

If you’re not already following author of The Desert Spear and The Painted Man Peter V Brett on Facebook and getting this information direct, you should be! He’s going to be writing Red Sonja for Dynamite Comics.

A slight glimpse into Peat’s feelings for comics is below:

Yes, he collects comics

 Quick summary of Peat’s blog post (as written by Peat):

‘I’ve always wanted to write comics.

I’ve always loved Red Sonja.

I write fantasy. Red Sonja is a fantasy book.

I am known in some circles for writing strong female characters. You don’t get much stronger than the She-Devil with a Sword.

I love redheads, swordfighting, and scantily clad women. Check, check, and check.

I think this is a match made in heaven.’

 We agree!
