🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Peter V. Brett
He is describing himself as a good citizen of the United States, famous for not having a criminal record, brown-eyed and black-haired “Peat” to his friends, born on February 8, 1973, in New Rochell, New York. His known relative is his daughter, Cassandra, with whom he lives in Brooklyn, NY. His name is Peter V. Brett and he is a fantasy novelist. Peat is generously influenced by The Hobbit and X-Men #162, for the latter being grateful to his older brother of leaving the copy unintentionally within reach. Writing grabs him in high school. The endeavor leads him to the University at Buffalo, where he studies not only English Literature and Art History to obtain his BA, but also dragons, the sport of fencing, and… girls, as he himself advises.
