In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we tell you of the passing of Janet Morris, Perseid’s co-founder and guiding literary light.
In a time where fiction too often leverages themes of nihilism, Janet was a consistent voice reminding us fiction could be so much more. Storytelling can still provide us with hope to combat the drab meaninglessness so much current publishing relies on. When we stand on Janet’s shoulders, we see the trail she blazed and find the courage to follow where she has emboldened us to go.
Perseid will honor Janet Morris and remain true to the vision she has left us. In days to come, we will be sharing insights and new works from her storied career that celebrate her contributions to literature and new and
deserving writers in need of publication.
Featured Series
Neither pure fantasy, nor straight science fiction, nor earthbound dynastic saga, Dream Dancer is a stunning amalgam of all three. It is a family saga with the epic appeal of Dune and the action and excitement of Star Wars. It is a saga of love, power and treachery that will appeal to men and women equally; full of action, compulsively readable and quite unlike anything being published in the realms of fantasy today.
The heroine, Shebat, is a remarkable girl from Earth. She is brought to the vast empire of the Kerrion family by a renegade son; named as its future ruler on a whim of his autocratic father; abducted to the slums where the Kerrions’ slaves drug themselves with powerful mystical sorcery; and finally rescued to take part in a great rebellion. She falls in love with one brother but marries another and becomes more Kerrion than some born to the name. A magical seductress of men, passionate in her lust for power, Shebat moves among those who control the destinies of millions, for whom treachery and betrayal are as easy as murder. Set in the timeless future on a primitive, savage Earth and on the sophisticated habitats of deep space, Dream Dancer is the first volume of a three-part saga.
This month all three volumes of the Kerrion Empire series are on sale for only $14.50.

Cruiser Dreams 🚀 Dive into the Future! 🌌
500 years in Earth’s future intelligence is shared by man and machine to an extent unimaginable today. Implants in humans, combined with machine consciousness, have merged to provide expanded capabilities for both. Giant sponge-cruisers ply the farthest reaches of known and unknown universes via partnerships in which intelligent spacecraft depend on their human pilots to supply critical bio-data necessary for time-based navigation of wormholes and dimension-bending curvatures in spacetime. Into this reality comes Shebat, an Earth girl with shamanic skills and little to lose. Given her own cruiser, she achieves a linkage to her ship which is the final step in man-machine fusion.
Cruiser Dreams in paperback is on sale all month for $14.50.
