Book Launch For 'Hear No Evil' and a Contest!

BOOK RAFFLE

We’re using Rafflecopter (see below) to facilitate our two-author, multi-book give-away. My daughter and I both have new titles out this month and want you to know about them.


Nicole J. Persun’s Dead of Knight is book one of an intriguing epic fantasy about two power-stricken, grieving, and mad Kings. As they wage war against a rebel army led by Elise des Eresther, it appears as though they’re merely in it for the glory, but their struggles are much deeper and darker.

Terry Persun’s Hear No Evil is a space opera where a colony of scientists, a megalomaniac, and an alien race are at odds. Enter Lieutenant Brandon Lockhardt, soldier and weapons’ expert, and Palmer Luce, pilot of a cruiser for-hire. Although lied to at the beginning, they’re sent to planet C-47 with plans to set things straight.


~The Inspiration Behind Hear No Evil

I had just written a novel that took a lot out of me. And a series of poems. I was in a bad way, my job was on a downswing, my farm took too much work to keep running, and my mood was bad — I mean, really bad. I needed a project that was going to be fun, something where I could let off a little steam.

That’s when I came up with my two main characters: Brandon, the military man who was a special weapons’ expert; and Palmer, the freelance pilot who did jobs for money, the more money she got, the fewer questions she asked.

I wanted Brandon to be a smart ass, at least at the beginning of the novel, until he settled into the situation, then I wanted him to step up to the plate and take action. I created a special weapon for him called “cuffs,” which fit over his shoulder and down his arm. I’ve worked as an engineer and know my mechanical and electrical design fairly well. So, I created a fairly complex killing weapon for him to use. Ask me sometime and I’ll explain how it all works.

Anyhow, that was the beginning. I write my smart ass character and my money-hungry pilot into a book where their relationship is frowned upon, and their integrity is hard won.

And I put them on a planet that would test their skills. But how do you test the skills of such characters? You give them something they’re not used to, something they can just kill or blow off with a good comeback.

I figured in a galaxy where sentient aliens had never been found, their presence would be worth a lot to whoever controlled the information. And that’s how the whole thing started. Right off the bat, nothing is as it appears to be, but the reader quickly finds that it’s much worse.

What I hope readers take from this book is that it was entertaining as well as thought provoking. I want it to be like watching Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. I figure if it doesn’t make you question your own existence and it doesn’t entertain, then what have you got? I’m also planning to write more books with these two characters, but we’ll see.
