Letter

This letter moved me, and I wanted to share it with all of you. I bet it will hit home for many.
Best,
Perry

First Name: Akila

Additional Info: Hi! My librarian, knowing me and the types of books I had a tendency to read, kept your book off the shelf when it first came out, so I could have the chance to read it. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for writing Hero. I came to read the book after blazing through five seasons of Queer as Folk, so the idea of a gay superhero was fresh in my mind.

I thought it was amazing that someone would take that idea and run with it. I found myself quickly falling in love with Thom Creed to the point that I wanted to be him for Halloween (and I''m a girl). You are now one of those authors that I will wait for, and rush to the bookstore to buy, or the library to read. I really admire the fact that you embraced this story and gave voice to a different type of character. So again, thank you. I look forward to the movie and the sequel.
