Only if I'm hired to do so... The original books were all contract work. So, whomever (is that the correct usage of whom?!) currently owns the publishing rights would have to hire me to write more. The material is licensed, after all... I would love to do more RE, though. Those were fun.(less)

Hello S.D., I loved the Resident Evil series you wrote years back. I had been wanting to ask, have you ever played the games, if so what was your experience? Having played the games myself reading books 1, 3, 5, and 6 at times felt like I was reading a strategy guide while also getting some behind the scenes info which is what made me love the series more.

S.D. Perry Hi, Victor! Thanks for saying. I was a fan of the first game... was still in the mansion, in fact (my very first playing of RE took, like, 20+ hours) …moreHi, Victor! Thanks for saying. I was a fan of the first game... was still in the mansion, in fact (my very first playing of RE took, like, 20+ hours) when I was hired. The original contract was for 4 books, two based on the first two games, two original. So, the first two games, I played extensively. I was such a fanatic for details, I got to where I could get through the first game in under two hours--for me, that was fast. The second game, I played a bunch, but not as much as the first... and that was when I discovered game guides. I played all of the other games multiple times, but totally cheated to get through them, and used the guides for outlining.

So yes, I was a fan... It's funny, though, I dug up the first game a few weeks ago and tried to play...? It is SO dated, tech-wise, and my sad reflexes made it so I kept running into walls. I died in the first hall of dogs and gave up in self-disgust.:)

Most of the character stuff I made up, although I was helped along by my editor--he came up with some of the background stuff for a couple of the characters, and it was his idea to include the mysterious Trent.

Anyway, I hope that answers your question, and I'm glad you liked the books. Have a good day!(less)

Facebook Anxiety

NOTE: Contains cursing and gratuitous words.

So I’m on a deadline, which means I trawl Facebook way more often than usual, since I’m stuck at my computer. I work for a few hours, break for ten minutes, poke around. And my kids have birthdays next week, and I’ve still got a lot of work to do, so I think, “I should post something about how stressed I am.” I don’t post often, I’ve never really examine Read more of this blog post »
