S.K.S. Perry's Blog

Dear SKS. (You don't mind if I call you SKS do you? Mr. Perry seems so formal.) I loved the Moonlight War. I picked it up after reading about it making the finals of SPFBO and all I can say is why self published? You mean to tell me no one wanted to get behind this? It's easily one of my favorite books of the last decade. So I though okay maybe it's a fluke. Maybe he's one of those authors who only have one good book in them. So I checked out your Darkside series and that's obviously not it. Loved, loved, LOVED them. So my question is, who did you piss off? Did you write mean things about some agent onthe bathroom walls, or sleep with a publisher's wife, or husband? Did you piss in Karma's cornflakes? Because seriously, I don't get it. If it makes you feel any better, I tricked my posse into reading your stuff and they don't get it either. Just sayn.

Me: Thanks for your *cough-leave a review-cough* kind words. It really *cough-leave a review-cough* means a lot to me. And thanks for *cough-leave a review-cough* passing my work on to your friends. Word of mouth *cough-leave a review-cough* is the only real advertising I have. You know, other than maybe leaving a review?

"The Moonlight War is a blast."
"Although "cinematic" is an over-used word when it comes to describing books, it fits The Moonlight War like a glove.

"Think of this book as the Drenai series meets Predator if written by Raymond Fiest."

The Moonlight War is a very good book. There is excitement and intrigue. The characters are incredibly well-drawn. The humour is appropriate and perfect, it lightens the mood and drags the emotions out into plain view. The subtle turning of plans within plans is well done.

In case any of you were wondering, this picture of Emilia Clarke is how I imagined Leanne of my DARKSIDE Novel Series to look:

And remember when she went all evil?*On a what-are-the-odds note, the second picture is of Cosplayer Vamptress LeeAnna Vamp. https://www.facebook.com/LeeAnnaVamp?pnref=story

Worried about global warming, the Federal Election, or whether you look fat in those jeans?

*9 out of 10 doctors recommend reading over recreational pharmaceuticals…or probably would, if…like…you asked them.

You can't find Scope mouthwash in Paris, only Listerine.

There's no Pepsi in Paris, only Coke. If you're daring enough to brave a dark alley full of lepers you might find a market that sells Pepsi Max, but why bother? Btw, ordering a coke in a restaurant will average you about $12 Cnd. They bring you out an 8 oz bottle and a glass of ice, and will actually open the bottle, pour some, and set it on the table for you. For that price I'm surprised they didn't let me sniff that cap first to make sure it's acceptable.

Parisians are either the worst drivers in the world, or the best. There are no such things as lanes; if you can fit a car in the space, it's good to go. Don't leave more than an inch on either side though, or someone will squeeze a motorcycle or a scooter in there. As soon as the light turns green they all accelerated whiplash quick, dodging and weaving back and forth for position until the next light, and slam on the brakes. Pen actually banged her head off of the headrest of the seat in front of her once after a particularly sudden stop. Stops are generally used to snake your vehicle into a better position for the next start. And even though everyone drives this way, I never saw a single accident for the seven days I was in Paris. None of the cars are dented or scratched either. As a matter of fact, they're pretty much immaculate, and even the cabs are more often than not BMWs and Mercedes.

The French walk like they drive, with a cellphone in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Apparently no one told them that smoking is bad for them, because they all do it, everywhere.

Here's the thing: never tell a self-pubbed author you've just bought their book if you haven't. Dude, we can check.

So I'm having lunch at Mary Brown's (shaddap you, don't judge me) and I notice an ad for the different varieties of their signature Big Mary sandwich with a caption that reads "Collect all two!"

All two? There's a word for that. It's "both". Collect both. I don't know maybe the ad man was getting paid by the word?

(I would have also accepted "Collect them both!" or "Collect the pair!)
