EDMOND MANNING has always been fascinated by fiction: how ordinary words could be sculpted into heartfelt emotions, how heartfelt emotions could leave an imprint inside you stronger than the real world. When not writing, he can be found either picking raspberries in the back yard or eating panang curry in an overstuffed chair upstairs, reading comic books. My adventure publishing King Perry with Dreamspinner has been powerful. Although it's published under the "bittersweet dreams" category, many readers (and reviews) on goodreads have argued that it's incredibly happy. It's true that the two men in love don't end up together, but as one reader said, "There was no other way for this book to end...this was the right ending." I'm so glad many feel this way...although I have promised that the narrator, Vin Vanbly, is definitely getting his Big Fat Happy Ending. Gotta read the series to see how that all plays out...
