About The Book:

Title: THE ELECTRIC GOD AND OTHER SHORTS

Author: Michael Thomas Perone

Pub. Date: October 14, 2024

Publisher: Wheatmark

Formats:  Paperback, eBook

Pages: 251

Find it: GoodreadsAmazon, B&N   

A small town becomes obsessed with television—to the point of madness.
A cheerful innocent confronts the harsh reality of the world and is forever changed by the experience.
A struggling author begins receiving strange messages on the paper he uses to write.
A bullied, brilliant teen is put through the wringer of his high school and comes out the other side insane.
A detective of the future discovers he may be investigating his own untimely demise—and that of the world’s.

These and one more dark fable await you from the imaginative mind of the award-winning author Michael Thomas Perone. Part fractured fairy tales, part nightmare fuel, The Electric God and Other Shorts follows characters who struggle to remain sane in an insane world and features stories that will keep you up at night, wondering what might be lurking in the shadows.

 

 Interview: 

For the readers: can you tell us a little bit about your book and the characters?

I’ve always wanted to publish a collection of my best short stories, but I was worried that the reader would be ping-ponging back and forth between themes. If you read my last book, Déjà View, you’ll know that theme is very important to me, but after going through dozens of my stories and selecting my six favorite ones, either by sheer luck or dumb coincidence, almost all the stories have the exact same theme: that of a sane person trying to survive an insane world. That’s something that I can unfortunately relate to all too well.

 

Who was your favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?

I don’t know if he was my favorite character, but I have a special fondness for Brody Crawling from the story How to Save a Drowning Butterfly. I don’t want to give too much away, but he’s a cheerful, innocent, naïve 19-year-old who has spent almost his entire life inside his house, and in the story, we follow his adventure—or I should say misadventure—as he finally leaves his home and enters the dreaded real world. Needless to say, things don’t go well. He’s probably the character I most relate to. My least favorite character is the unnamed student in The Shovel. He’s bullied beyond all recognition at his high school, which is also something I can relate to, but he does the exact opposite of what I would do. I was playing with the book’s overall theme of how to survive an insane world, and this character absolutely does the wrong thing. I want to be clear about that before I get angry emails!

 

What is your favorite passage/scene in your book?

Probably my favorite scene, which is also the most action-packed, is in Investigating the Future’s End, where the main character Bill Hartly is attempting to drive himself to the hospital as he’s bleeding out from a gunshot wound to his shoulder. On top of this, he’s being chased by a pair of assassins in their own cars, and the bullets are flying freely and fiercely. I was especially proud of the line, “An enemy bullet ricocheted off his trunk with a cartoonish Ping! sound.” I actually laughed when I wrote that. Sometimes you surprise yourself.

 

What kind of research did you have to do for the story?

Two words: high school. Seriously, my books usually are based on my school experiences. Even though it took place in junior high, Danger Peak was about my time in elementary school, Déjà View was about my time in junior high, and this book was about how out of place and crazy I felt in high school. Besides following the school theme, I’ve always felt like a square peg trying to fit a round hole.

 

What are you working on next?

I have an idea for another book, but I just wrote three books in the past 3 years (four if you count my blog book that I’m giving away for free at my website here: www.michaelthomasperone.com/blog). After promoting The Electric God, I’m taking a well-deserved break!

 

Lightning Round Questions

What are you reading right now? Or what do you have on your TBR that you’re dying to read?

I’m reading David Foster Wallace’s mammoth, over 1,000-paged Infinite Jest. This has been a bucket list read for me ever since I was told it was the defining novel of my generation (Gen X). I’m only a quarter through it, and some of the language is deeply beautiful, but I’d be lying if I said it was an easy read. There are almost 400 footnotes alone!

 

Favorite social media site?

I’m old-school (the title story of my book is a screed against electronics), so I try to avoid social media as much as I can, but these days, that’s like saying you try to avoid driving, especially if you’re an indie author like me and trying to get your work out there. If I had to choose one, I’d go with Facebook, though Instagram may overtake it soon; I seem to get a lot more interaction on that one.

 

Favorite Superhero or Villain?

The Joker, though that last movie was abysmal (and this is coming from someone who was a fan of the first).

 

Favorite TV show?

The Simpsons. I’ve seen every single episode at least once, and that’s saying something since it’s been on for over 35 years, though I should say I’m only a huge fan of the first eight or nine seasons. If you had told me when I was 12 that this show would still be on the air in my mid-40s when I have a wife and two children, I’d never believe you.

 

Sweet or Salty?

Sweet. Just like me!

 

Any Phobias?

I hate bugs of any kind, especially praying mantises (so creepy!), though, ironically, I have no problem with spiders. Maybe that’s because we have a common enemy, since they eat bugs. Also, I’m a sucker for Charlotte’s Web.

 

Song you can’t get enough of right now?

Anything from the ‘80s. Again, I’m old-school.

 

2024 Movie you’re most looking forward to?

The answer was Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but I saw it already. It was good but not as good as the first one, which is what I was expecting.

 

Do you play video games? If so, what are some of your favorites?

I recently bought a SNES adapter for my TV, so now I’m playing all my old Super Nintendo games from the early ‘90s. Once more from the top: old-school!

Release Day Blitz- FANGS OF FATE by Rebecca Parcha With a PR Box #Giveaway!

FANGS OF FATE by Rebecca Parcha is out now! Check out the gorgeous new romantasy and grab your copy today!

Title: Fangs of Fate

Author: Rebecca Parcha

Genre: Romantasy

About Fangs of Fate:

Tate Aaralyn is both prey and predator—a duality that defines her. Beyond the veil that separates worlds, lies the Glenn: the home of vampires. There, she is prey—fragile, weak, her flaws laid bare. She is a vampire who struggles with the ethics of feeding. And yet, in the human realm she is the executioner of justice. But when Tate is sent to a disciplinary hearing that results in forced enlistment to the gaura, her worst nightmare is made real. In desperation to make a lasting difference, Tate faces her biggest challenge yet—Aether, a vampire unlike any other. As lines blur, she must navigate the labyrinth of lies and embrace her newfound power, all while questioning her mysterious bond to the male who has managed to capture her heart and, somehow, earn her trust. Chance Dale may be the president’s son, but even with his birthright he is, by all accounts, a disappointment. After witnessing evil evolving and the violation of life as he knows it, Chance must find a way to defeat the dark magic before it spreads. The world of politics becomes nuanced, and he is forced to question the very statutes that have guided his life or watch everything he’s worked for burn. Chance’s quest to secure the Glenn from foreign powers has his path crossing with Tate’s—his former lover and deepest regret. As the truth unravels, he must choose between the love he once had or the one he could have. Worse yet, that very love could soon become the enemy he hunts.

About the Author:

I love all things fiction, specifically, fantasy. Add a little romance, or sometimes a whole heap, and you’ll find my specialty: romantasy. As an avid reader and devourer of all things Fae, dragon, and magical, my work (as you may have guessed) is centered in that world. I love a strong female protagonist who defies the patriarchy while learning to love and trust. I am one of the lucky ones; I married my high school sweetheart and am a mother of two adorable, rambunctious boys. As a Colorado native, I love the sunshine and crisp air while enjoying the outdoors with my guys…have I mentioned I’m outnumbered? Stories have always held me captive—they are the air I breathe. It is my purest pleasure to share with you the tales that have been burning in my heart.

She thought they'd never find her. She was wrong.

Kat and Maksim have been hiding in a sleepy Mediterranean town. It’s paradise, heaven on earth... So then why is Maksim eager to send Kat home? And why has he been acting strange since making contact with a certain hacker?

Kat is determined to find out, but when a misstep in her “investigation” infuriates the hacker and her crew, the fallout puts Kat and Maksim on a collision course with the crime syndicate that’s been hunting them down. With nowhere else to turn, they seek asylum in Paris with an old friend of Maksim’s, hoping for a place to lie low. Things seem calm, hopeful... until a heartwrenching betrayal by Maksim comes to light.

As the evidence piles up, Kat is forced to rely on the kindness of his old friend, a Frenchman who’s there to help pick up the pieces of her broken heart. But not everything is what it seems in the City of Light, and Maksim isn’t the only one keeping secrets.

Capitán Cristóbal de Varga's drive for glory and gold in 1538 Peru leads him and his army of conquistadors into a New World that refuses to be conquered. He is a man torn by life-long obsessions and knows this is his last campaign. What he doesn't know is that his Incan allies led by the princess Sarpay have their own furtive plans to make sure he never finds the golden city of Vilcabamba. He also doesn't know that Héctor Valiente, the freed African slave he appointed as his lieutenant, has found a portal that will lead them all into a world that will challenge his deepest beliefs. And what he can't possibly know is that this world will trap him in a war between two eternal enemies, leading him to question everything he has devoted his life to - his command, his Incan princess, his honor, his God. In the end, he faces the ultimate dilemma: how is it possible to battle your own obsessions . . . to conquer yourself?

Interview Questions – Dirk Strasser

 

For the readers: can you tell us a little bit about your book and the characters?

Conquist is a historical fantasy set at the time of the Spanish conquistadors in South America. It starts with the discovery of a diary written by Cristóbal de Varga, the leader of a conquistador army that disappeared without a trace while searching for the golden city of Vilcabamba. Conquist is the story of what happened.

Cristóbal is a man frustrated by a lifetime of watching others gain wealth and glory. He knows he is running out of time to achieve the dreams that have driven him since his boyhood in Andalucía. What he doesn’t know is that his Incan consort Princess Sarpay has her own plans.

His campaign stalls in a remote region of the Andes and his lieutenant, the freed African slave Héctor Valiente, is missing on patrol. Cristóbal is facing an open revolt when Héctor returns with a dead soldier, and a tale of a royal Incan messenger who escaped through a curtain of light that causes those who pass through it to vanish.

Cristóbal leads his company through the curtain into a strange new world of crimson skies, fire fountains and a morality that proves to be less black and white than it initially appears. When both the conquistadors and Incas find themselves trapped between the warring forces of demonic natives and angelic beings, Cristóbal is forced to make an impossible choice and face his own angels and demons.

 

What are you working on now?

It’s called The Myriad. I usually like to play around with back cover blurbs to see what might intrigue potential readers. Here’s the current version of the blurb:

Many cities are spoken of as lost. The city of Myriad is the only one that is truly lost, not just to our world, but to all worlds.

There is a place between the worlds where all things are held in abeyance, where a pregnant nothingness reigns. This is where the lost city of Myriad drifts with the tides of chaos.

Every now and again the city comes into contact with a new world. A momentary juncture. This is the only time the inhabitants of Myriad can leave the prison of their walls. And leave they must, because nothing truly lives within the city’s walls bar the inhabitants themselves – and some say even they do not truly live as we do. All food and water must be taken from these worlds that randomly adjoin Myriad for a time.

Yet there are dangers in these worlds that are totally unknown to the inhabitants of Myriad. And when the nexus with these worlds is broken and an inhabitant is outside the walls, they will never be able to return because the city will vanish from that world forever.

And there is danger far greater than this for the unfortunates lost to their city in this way. Within the walls of Myriad, the inhabitants are immortal. Outside they become mortal.

So, the immortals inside the walls are doomed to eternally travel between a myriad of worlds, seeking to return to the world of their origin, to right the wrong that exiled them into the restless void, to find final peace.

The Myriad is the story of the mortal-born woman who brings them to that peace.

 

Were any of the characters in the book inspired by people from your real life?

I think it’s less common for fantasy writers to draw characters from their own life, but in historical fantasy like Conquist, there are often characters drawn from history. For example Lieutenant Rodrigo Benalcázar, with his lean frame and pinched features teeming with energy, is modelled on the real-life conquistador Francisco Pizarro who conquered the Inca Empire. Benalcázar like Pizarro comes from Extremadura, the poorest region of Spain, and has a ruthless chip on his shoulder and something to proof.

The character of Capitán Cristóbal de Varga definitely has a bit of me in him. As I was writing Conquist over many years, I began to wonder whether my obsession with it—first as a short story, then as a novella, then a screenplay and now a novel—was as destructive as the conquistadors’ fanatic pursuit of gold. I asked myself whether we are all trapped by what we desire most. Where is the border between determination and obsession? I came to the unavoidable realisation at one point that the diary that Cristóbal writes in Conquist is an analogue of me writing the novel. Cristóbal says in his final diary entry

I was once given to consider that which in life I most fervently strove for. In the honesty of my old age, I now understand with the certainty of all my glorious and pitiful experiences that I value above all else that my words are heard.

 

Who was your favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?

Sarpay was a fascinating character to write because she is arguably the most successful character in the novel in terms of achieving her aims, and those aims are noble ones, and yet she ends up being conflicted. She takes her obsession with saving the Incan Empire from the Spanish to extremes and to her own detriment. She schemes against Cristóbal with the same intensity as he pursues his obsessions. Sarpay recognizes this in a scene towards the end of the novel where she explains her betrayal by saying “You of all people should be able to understand, Cristóbal.”

Interestingly, because Lieutenant Rodrigo Benalcázar was directly modelled on the real-life conquistador Francisco Pizarro, there was less to play with from a writing point of view, so I guess that makes him my least favourite character. He was also unrelentingly brutal, and although he was following the Pizarro playbook, it didn’t work out quite the same way for him, and he was too inflexible to change his tack.

 

What is your favorite passage/scene in your book?

This is hard to answer without selecting a spoiler, but I’ve chosen the scene of the first nightfall in the new world:

When the sun started to set, turning the sky the purple of bruised skin, silence fell across the company. A strange silence in a strange land. The standard-bearer staked the Cross of Burgundy flag into the ground at the entrance to the pass, and soldiers erected a large wooden cross next it.

Cristóbal then stood in front of his men and spoke the words that he had long dreamt of saying. Words that only a true conquistador could say. ‘I, Cristóbal de Varga, claim this land of Nueva Tierra and all who inhabit it in the name of His Imperial Majesty Charles V, King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor.’

As a blood-red moon hung in the sky and the wind howled around the assembled soldiers, Cristóbal was no longer certain that God could hear his words.

 

What kind of research did you have to do for the story?

Historical fantasies need a lot of research. If you’re a writer who doesn’t like research, this isn’t the sub-genre for you. Fortunately, I love reading about history and I was fascinated by the Inca Empire and the Spanish conquest of the New World. I wanted Cristóbal’s diary entries to feel authentic, so I read actual diaries of conquistadors such as The Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz. I also read about the rise and fall of the Inca Empire in a number of books, plus books on Incan culture and beliefs. I wanted to make the battle scenes feel as real as possible, so I paid particular attention to the weaponry and tactics of both the conquistadors and the Incas.

The trick, of course, is to work these details into the story to make everything sound authentic without cluttering the narrative. The Incas didn’t use money, they had no written language, and in many ways, they treated the mummies of their ancestors as if they were still alive. The Spanish guns were not the effective weapons that they became in later centuries, and the conquistadors’ real battle advantages were their horses, dogs and armor. I think it’s also important for historical fantasy to fit into the known events of the period. Conquist had to be set precisely in 1538 because the search for Manco Inca and his hidden city of Vilcabamba happened that year. All these sorts of things become important plot points in Conquist and are not just window-dressing.

 

Lightning Round Questions

What are you reading right now? Or what do you have on your TBR that you’re dying to read?

I’m just finishing The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo. It’s a historical fantasy set in Spain at roughly the same time period as Conquist, but the two books are poles apart in plot, feel and pace. I knew her name from the excellent Netflix series of her Shadow and Bone YA books, but this is the first book of hers that I’ve read.

 

Favorite social media site?

It used to be Twitter, but not anymore.

 

Favorite Superhero or Villain?

You know, I think I’ve been over the Superhero/Villain trend for some time now. Maybe Deadpool because of his sense of humor.

 

Favorite TV show?

Outlander

 

Sweet or Salty?

Both

 

Any Phobias?

I’m not a fan of cockroaches.

 

Song you can’t get enough of right now?

Unstoppable by Sia

 

2024 Movie you’re most looking forward to?

Inside Out 2
