Can't take any of the credit. Those characters were working through me, fighting to get out and tell their own stories. For anyone who wants to talk more about the book, the characters, and their plans for the future (and yes, there are many!), please write me at perrymoorestories@gmail.com Keep on aiming high for that inner HERO in all of you! All my very best, Perry Moore, author of HERO Dear Christopher,

Thanks for the incredibly kind words about HERO. Can’t take any of the credit. Those characters were working through me, fighting to get out and tell their own stories.

For anyone who wants to talk more about the book, the characters, and their plans for the future (and yes, there are many!), please write me at perrymoorestories@gmail.com

Keep on aiming high for that inner HERO in all of you!

All my very best,

Perry Moore,
author of HERO

I think this is an interesting read — Christopher Butcher’s thoughts on what he calls the book’s “menacing” and all-around bleak tone (as in, is the world “really . . . that dark for queer and questioning youth”? For the record, he makes it clear he was a gay teenager once upon a time), though he thought the novel was well-written. [...] [...] And what did you think of the novel’s tone, Eisha and Roger?
