Peter Servidio Interview Published on: 27, Oct 2022

I was born and raised in Maine, having graduated from St. Joseph’s College with a BA in Adult Education and Training and a Master’s in Administration. I completed my educational journey by obtaining my doctorate from St. Thomas University in Miami Glades, Florida. I have been happily married for seventeen years to my wife, Cheyenne, and have three daughters. Along with this, our house is comprised of two cats and a dog.

Currently, I work as the College and Correspondence Coordinator at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham, Maine which is part of the Maine Department of Corrections. Along with this, I teach for the University of Maine at Augusta.

I have loved writing ever since I was a young boy. It started with a love for reading, really. As I grew, I wanted to create my own worlds and characters.

I loved fantasy and often had dreams of fighting monsters and dragons.

The first story I ever read that I remember was Curious George. I loved how the book with the Man in the Yellow Hat made me laugh and feel good.

This is a tough one as I have read many, but I will have to give a shout-out to a fellow indie author, PD Alleva’s book Golem: The Devil is in the Details. If you want to be terrified, you have to grab this! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CV5823C</p> What gave you the idea for the series, Devils Don't Fly?

I have always enjoyed reading about paranormal situations as well as the Rapture from the Bible. I thought, wouldn’t it be neat to combine the two and have a new look at an age-old theory?

For the most part, Cameron Sprague is what I vision my father would have been like back when he was a detective. I was very young when he left the police force, but I see him as being someone with a good heart who would be willing to have the ends justify the means.

I just want to continue to write and publish my books and stories. It would be great to someday retire and live off my books, but even having one person read what I write is exciting. It is even more exciting when I get their feedback.

The journey has been fantastic. I learn more and more each day and have loved meeting many different people who share a similar passion as mine.

Currently, I am working on three. A space opera, Eden’s Veil, is due in December this year. Book two of the Dekker De La Mare fantasy series is slated for the summer of 2023; and The Magistrate, which is a compendium novel to my first post-apocalyptic series “Earth Has Fallen,” is due out in the Fall of 2023.

This book was a collaboration with a man I know from working in the prison system. It stems from the basic premise that people with power can have widely impactful effects on those around them and are not always good. Also, who does not love a good legend?

The starting point for any writer is picking up a pen or pencil.

It depends. Some I have had in my mind for years. Others I have used name generators or even asked my fans.

For an Indie Author like myself, social media and marketing/promotions are essential for getting my name and stories out in front of the masses.

I have loved working with AllAuthor and have recommended the platform to my friends and fellow writers. It has also become one of the sites I try and drive my followers to, as there are so many great people (writers and readers) you can connect with.
