The First Interview - Raymond E Feist - The Road to Becoming an Author

Hi there! My name is Magnus Edgarsson - Welcome to my Youtube channel "Magnus & The Arts"!

My aim is to interview authors - and other people who are involved in the Arts in some way or another - and publish the interviews here.

Every interview on here are filmed, edited and published by me.

First out is Raymond E. Feist, international bestselling author!

Back in 1995 I was searching for something new to read after having read Stephen King, David Eddings and loads of other writers for a long time. A couple of friends and I walked into a bookshop and my eyes locked onto a broad-backed paperback with one word written on it: "Magician" written by a man called Raymond E. Feist. I took a liking to it right then and there and the rest, as they say, is history.

I never would have guessed that I one day would sit down with Ray to interview him about his life but when the opportunity presented itself I acted on it. He announced on Facebook that he was going on a book tour with his latest novel "King of Ashes" and I simply asked him if he would like to sit down for an interview. Ray and his publishing manager said yes and we met in Uppsala on April 30 (2018) at the hotel where he was staying - Elite Hotel Academia Uppsala BIG thank you for letting us use your rooms. This video is the result of this meeting.

Ray Feist has been a force in the field of fantasy since the early 1980s and he is still spinning out fantastic stories. The latest is called "Master of Furies" and is the third novel set in a totally new world. Midkemia is now a closed chapter. If you haven't read it yet, you should.

All the best,

Magnus
