Interview with the author
The Saint Quiche Island Archives fantasy series seems to cross multiple categories. Tell us about that.
I wrote this series for adults who love reading books for the younger set, but who also like protagonists who are closer to their age. Oh, and they like a dash of rum to boot.
So what genre is it?
Definitely humorous fantasy. If I had to categorize it, I'd say the series fits well in New Adult and College Humorous Fantasy with a side helping of action.
Who will enjoy these books?
If you like lighthearted, clean fantasy with lots of humor that twists the typical take on mutants, these books are definitely work giving a try.
So we all know dragons and unicorns don't exist--
They don't?
What is one thing in this sequel that some people may think is fantasy but isn't?
Glad you asked. Bertie gets to leave the unicorn park more in this book, and one spot he spends a lot of time at is St. Quiche's bioluminescent bay. It contains these tiny creatures called dinoflagellates. When disturbed, they light up. Think fireflies, but in water. Because the bay has limited access to a larger body of water and low-light conditions, the dinoflagellates' luminescence is visible.
So at night, you can see a wee bit of light in the water?
If the conditions are right, you can see loads of light. When you swim in the water, it glows all around you. Lift your arm out of water, and pinpricks of light stream down. It's magical but real. When my family and I go to one of the bio-bays in Puerto Rico, after we come home, we pile together in the dark bathroom and squeeze water out of our clothes to see all these little dots of light drip to the floor. Stranger than any fantasy fiction, you know?

Escapism hits a new level here
Firet unicorns, then dragons, disgusting press (so not escapist in all aspects) and too many other angles to throw in here.
It is hard to put into words just how unpleasant people can be - great work on making Timothy more and more despicable with each chapter.
Another superb book from Mrs Perl. Waiting on book three....
