BIOGRAPHY
DATA
I
was born on June 9th 1969 in Pecs, Hungary, Central
Europe.
My first book, called Probajatek (Test Run), was published
in Hungary in 1996.
In the following years to date (end of 2002) published
14 books in about a million words length altogether.
Central Europe's largest publisher, Alexandra Publishing,
published the majority of my books. For more info
on my books please see the "BOOKS" section.
Most cover arts were a joint work between my trusted
cover artist and I. I also did most of the editing.
I have planned and executed all marketing.
I am the First Hungarian SF writer to be published
in the US. I debuted in the US with "The Last
Bounty Hunter" that was published by Domhan Books
in New York in September of 2002.
My next book in the US will be SF Thriller published
in January 2003 and its called "Test Run".
Both of my books can be ordered from Barnes&Noble,
Amazon.com or Powell's Books.
Furthermore, one of my movie scripts is being evaluated
in the US currently. It's a bit slow going though.
I would gladly accept any ideas or suggestions to
move it along.
CURRENT SITUATION
I
am currently promoting my new home page in Hungary
and in the US. By nature I cannot sit and do nothing
and expect everything. I believe that my future mostly
depend on me. If I do everything I can for the desired
goal then I have fewer surprises. I believe in numbers.
The more people see my homepage the more people will
by my books.
SO
CURRENTLY I'M LOOKING FOR CLUBS, COMMERCIAL, AND PRIVAT
WEB SITE OWNERS WHO WOULD CHANGE BANNERS WITH ME TO
MUTUALLY PROMOTE EACHOTHER'S WEB SITE.
I
AM ALSO LOOKING FOR SPONSORS FOR MY NEXT BOOK'S TRANSLATION
TO ENGLISH. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY IDEAS THAT WOULD
TAKE ME A STEP AHAID IN THE ABOVE MATTERS.
I
know, it seems a little weird that here is this guy
who is represented on the World's largest book market
and he's still looking for sponsors. So how that can
be?
Let's
look at some more data.
You
know already that my book was published in September
of this year. Domhan Books like many other publishers
pays royalties only twice a year. Royalties of sales
in the first half of the year will be paid in October
of the same year. Royalties of the second half of
the year is paid in April of the next year. Therefore,
I only get the kind of money that would refinance
my next books translation in next October. Then another
year to get the book published. So if I don't start
now, two years delay would follow. Any person experienced
in marketing would know that two years delay is not
permissible for a beginning writer, which I am on
the US market. Readers would forget me.
That
is all about myself for now. If you have any questions
please send me an E-mail and I will reply accordingly.
Please read the small essay at the end if you don't
mind!
RECOGNITION
Naturally,
I can't leave out the most important thing. People
think that success demands exceptional will power
and seriousness. I do have the will power but not
always the seriousness.
The
exceptional will power and stubbornness to reach my
goals are usually not leaving people unaffected. They
are either with me or against me. I wouldn't waist
any words for the later category. Without those who
are with me, who are helping, I would be nowhere.
Left alone I would have certainly failed but I always
find people who recognize my task oriented stubbornness
and help me. They believe that helping someone who
would eventually earn their admiration and respect
betters their own life too.
I
would like to thank my friend at home and in the USA
who helped me getting closer to my dreams.
Special
thanks to the following people: Abaffy Csaba, Szuszics
Gabor, Haraszti Joszef, Stieb Gabor, Nemeth Istvan,
Kasza Tamas, Meszaros Szabolcs, Fonyodi Tibor (Harrison
Fawcett), Horvath Attila, Rozs Tamas, Dean Blehert,
Cass Warner, Zsuzsa Szabo, Andras Rekay and Thomas
Zsigo.
OTHER
INFO
Hobbies:
I like sports. I have been doing some kind of sport
since I was 14. First I kick-boxed but quit after
an injury. Started bodybuilding at 16. Of course I'm
just doing it to keep my body fit. I have never been
a particular "beef-cake" type. I'm also
jogging for a more harmonic muscle tone.
I
also like to watch a good movie or listen to music
(any type but especially rock ballads). I would also
read a book time to time. I like to meet new people
and I like to push myself to the limit intellectually.
I
like beautiful women (mostly I mean beautiful on the
inside). I don't like empty shells. I'm yet to find
the ONE
I can live my life with.
ESSAY
Under
construction... It will be about people behind the
actions, believes, falls and successes. It's worth
to check back sometimes...
