Who is Charles Pero?

July 19, 2007

He's a farmer for one, part of a 100 year old family operation that started near Buffalo, New York, moved down to Del Ray, Florida and today has farms all over the U.S. and Central America. But this is a book blog, right? So two, Charles Pero is a thriller writer whose book ideas "just come to him" and in no time flat he's got his chapters outlined and he's ready for the next inspiration. Publishing didn't come so easily, but he figured, like farming, if he kept working, he'd get that perfect pepper. Can you grow a book the way you grow a pepper? He wrote through two years of rejection, (three more; all about serial killers) and now his first book, The Maze Murdereris out from Sterling House, and he's got contracts for the other three with a total of eight planned for Sterling's Twisted Killer Series. And third, he's an awfully nice guy who is crazy for PW (he put himself on our BEA cover) who throws first class parties, which is how I met him this week end, in South Beach. It was hot...the party...and the weather...

Del Ray? Isn't that a publishing house?

You must mean Delray Beach...just north of Boca Raton (which is pronounced "ratone" and not "rat-ahn" but don't get me started.)

I just finished reading the Maze Murderer and I have to say it was incredible read. Suspense from top to bottom. Pero sets the tone early and keeps it going the whole way through. Simply phenominal
