COMMENTS AND RESPONSES FROM PERRY
Wednesday, November 7, 2007
I picked up your book Hero not knowing what to expect. I finished the book in less than a day. The book entranced me from the first word. Hero is one of the best books that I have read in a while and it helped me get out of my "no-more-Harry-Potter-books" depression.
I do have a question though. I read somewhere that Hero is going to be a series of books. I was wondering if this is true, and if it is, are the new books going to be more about Thom or the other members of the team that he was on? Or are you going to introduce new characters that we've never heard of. I'd be fine with anything, but I can't help but being curious.
Thank you for your time and for your great addition to the world of literature.
Much love,

Yes, there are plenty of SEQUELS to be written!
I asked Brittney to write back and let me know, from her bright, 16 years-old young woman's perspective, what were her thoughts on HERO, and what she specifically would like to know more about in future novels.

Dear Perry (if it's okay to call you that).
I would be honored to have my letter posted on your website. That'd be very, very cool and honestly, I'm freaking out right now, because I didn't think I'd get a reply to my letter. You have my permission to put my name and age on your website (which I visit constantly).
My favorite character (other then Thom) was Dark Hero (Goran). I think it'd be pretty awesome to see more about his life before and after meeting Thom. I also really liked Ruth. She reminded me a lot of an older version of my sister. Tough on the outside, but once you break down her shell, she's the sweetest person ever. But my favorite realtionship was Thom and Goran. I cried at the end of the book; not only because it was over, but the part when Goran gave Thom his father's mask was really touching.
One question that I do have concerns a part of Thom's power. On page 417, in the big fight scene, it says that Thom "leaped up and flew to the base of the steeple." Can Thom really fly or was he just jumping really high? Stupid question, but I'm just curious. I'd also like to say that I really like how you had different powers for a lot of the characters. I really liked Thom and Larry's power. The Spectrum's powers were pretty tight as well. He was probably my favorite minor character and I was sad to see him die.
I also wanted to tell you that I really do enjoy your website. I recently started reading comic books again and I enjoy reading about all the gay characters in them. I actually wrote down all the titles of the comic books on your website that looked the most interesting and plan to buy them.
Thank YOU for your time. I really appreciate the fact that you replied to me. I think it's awesome that you take the time to read your fan-mail. And I think it'd be awesome if you did a signing down here in New Orleans. I've gotten a lot of my friends into this book, so I know a lot of people would be excited to hear that you might come.
I'm going to go to Amazon.com right now to go leave a review and also plan to do the same on the Barnes and Noble website.
'Til next time,
Brittney
What does everyone think about the answer to Brittney's question about whether Thom can fly at the end? Keep those questions coming!

Why teen girls love HERO
