Chermside Christmas Lights

Legends of Marithia book launch coming soon

Author Peter Koevari will launch his book entitled the Legends of Marithia: Prophecies Awakening on Friday, March 5, 2010 in Chermside.

The book launching will be held at Kedron-Wavell Services Club, 375 Hamilton Road, Chermside starting at 7 p.m. until late in the evening.

The book is the first of Koevari’s many fantasy novels. Koevari resides in Brisbane, Australia.

Here’s an excerpt from the book:

“When her sorceress mother and vampire king father are brutally murdered, Kassina makes a pact with Shindar, the Demon of Darkness. In exchange for her soul, Kassina obtains power to become the most feared sorceress in all the lands; she could make the people pay dearly for the deaths of her parents. Granted eternal life, Kassina and her evil are never far away.

For years, Marithia, a mystical world inhabited by humans and elves, has lived in an age of peace. But that peace is shattered when King Arman is slain by his own son, a pawn of the vampire sorceress Kassina. Arman’s murder sparks the most brutal and bloody war ever seen between the Forces of Darkness and the peaceful Marithians.

Vartan, a young knight who was wrongfully banished from King Arman’s court, reluctantly discovers he is the subject of a prophecy to activate the legendary weapon, Talonsphere. He forms an alliance with the mythical dragons and has the opportunity to rid the world of the oppressors forever and experience eternal peace.”

Easter eggs on sale at Chermside 3 months in advance

Just as the Christmas decorations are brought down, Easter eggs are being rolled out at supermarkets and department stores.

At the Chermside branch of Target in the north of Brisbane, rows of chocolate bunnies, eggs, and Easter gift boxes are seen lining the register shelves just a short distance away from the discounted Christmas decorations.

Good Friday will fall on April 2, this year, approximately three months away.

Puzzled children have been wondering why bunnies are already on the register shelves.

Coles spokesman Jim Coopers said that this has been the case every year. “The simple reason is customer demands. We’ll sell hundreds of thousands of Easter products in January alone.”

Steven Williamson, Target’s business manager for general merchandise, agreed that consumer demand was the main reason why the Easter eggs are up so early.

Target’s “small range” went on sale from January 4.

Williamsom furthered, “Based on past experience, we see customer demand for impulse Easter products as soon as the new year commences, with people often eating them as treats in the lead-up to Easter.”
