K. Buvar-Toth's Blog
April 6, 2020
Taking a break after 4 books
I just finished writing ‘2025 Havana Anti-Communist Revolt’ (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086PKNMD1). Just in time for the coronavirus disaster, especially in New York City. Also in Italy, Spain, Belgium and Holland (The Netherlands – I hate this name). Hungary has it good, nobody knows it why only thirty deaths.
My Hungarian-origin name is Kalman Toth. My English nickname is Charlie. My pen name for fiction is K. Buvar-Toth.
I published computer and puzzle books prior to starting into the amazing world of fiction writing two years ago after my wife passed away in Parkinson’s disease. She was a brilliant nuclear engineer at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant north of New York City on the Hudson River.
I wrote a puzzle book for Parkinson’s patients. During her 11-year slide toward the abyss, I discovered that medical professionals confuse Parkinson’s patients with stroke patients. Therefore, I wrote, Puzzles for Stroke Patients (ISBN: 978-1797966342) which sells better than the Parkinson’s puzzles since some stroke patients can recover from the brain damage.
After getting a degree in physics, then in computer science, spending my life as a software engineer, I discovered that I am a natural writer. I can easily write 3,000 words a day. Hemingway’s output was 500 words a day, handwriting or using a mechanical typewriter. I am sure he would appreciate today’s word processors. A friend, Marilyn Ross, volunteered to edit my books. Without her support, I would not have the courage to venture into fiction writing.
My daughter asked, Dad, is it legal to make a revolution in a different country? Well, I said, we will find out. I was nine years old when the anti-communist revolution broke out in Hungary. Unfortunately, too young, to join the revolution. Nevertheless, in my heart, I was a revolutionary at that young age. At age 22, I escaped communist Hungary to Italy through Yugoslavia near Trieste. After four months in Italy, I was admitted to America as a refugee from communism, green card followed in three months.
Cuban revolution book features a day in the life of Ernest Hemingway, fishing, partying, and women. Since I am a fiction writer, I have an incredible amount of freedom. While I am trying to get the plot as real as possible, I don’t have to do extensive research like a non-fiction writer. I traveled to Cuba in 2019 before my quintuple bypass surgery at Columbia-Presbyterian by Dr. Craig Smith. The Cuban revolution book was my recovery project.
