Liam Perrin (liamperrin) Hello all! I'm Liam Perrin, and I'm excited to announce a Goodreads autographed copy giveaway of my new book Sir Thomas the Hesitant and the Table of Less Valued Knights. The giveaway runs April 9 to April 13, 2013 and is open to all countries. Enter to win here!

Misfit Hero...Nonsensical World
Thomas Farmer dreams of becoming a knight, sets out to save his brother from an evil Baron, and uncovers a plot that threatens Camelot itself. Along the way, he befriends a series of misfits including an allegedly reformed evil wizard, a shrinking giantess with a latent talent, a veteran knight with a dark secret, and his best friend Philip the Exceptionally Unlucky. In the end, his friends must join forces and Thomas must come to grips with what it means to be a true hero if they are to save themselves and Camelot. Whimsical and poignant, Sir Thomas's tale is the story of a young man learning what it means to be a hero in a world that doesn't always make sense.




AWARDS
Author Liam Perrin is no stranger to storytelling. He worked for half a decade on the legendary Myst series selected by the Smithsonian American Art Museum as one of five featured games out of 240 in the Renwick Gallery's standing Art of Video Games exhibition after 3.7 million votes were cast in 175 countries. Liam worked on the series in various roles including technical art, technical game design, and finally as the Live Content Director on the beloved Myst Online (formerly Uru: Ages Beyond Myst).

REVIEWS
Liam's debut novel Sir Thomas the Hesitant and the Table of Less Valued Knights has been described by readers as:

Very enjoyable - a pleasure to read
"...one of the most enjoyable, light reading books I have read for some time. A little like Lemony Snicket meets TH White..." -- Amazon reviewer Daniel Jaye

Great read for the entire family
"...a fantasy tale with relatable, imperfect heroes...an inoculant [sic] to all the Disney princess [expletive deleted]..." -- Amazon reviewer Chip Smith

...face-meltingly talented...dumbfoundingly good...
"...the first book I've read in years where I found myself laughing out loud. Not the offhanded grunt or titter either. Huge public-humiliation grade guffawing laughter." -- Facebook reviewer Michael Conn

THANKS!
Please consider entering the giveaway and adding my book to your shelf. And let me know what you think! Good, bad or indifferent - I'd love your honest feedback. Thank you!
