Focus on Honey Perkel, Author

Seaside author, +Honey Perkel, joined us in 2013 as a vendor.  Her trilogy, A Thousand Summers, Secrets at the Cove and A Place Called Paradise, takes place in Seaside, Oregon.  Her newest book, Just Breathe: A Mother's Story details the life and death of Honey's son, Brian, and how, as a mother, she made sense of his struggle with mental illness. 

I read this last book; it's good.  I haven't read the trilogy, but she sold lots of them.  Maybe a reader of this blog will tell us what he/she thought.  Books make great gifts.  We hope Honey returns with a new book every year.

As a child, Honey spent her summer vacations in Seaside with her mother, grandmother, and uncle.  She always made sure she packed a writing pad to jot down story ideas. Those notes have been the inspiration for her stories.

Honey believes in things that go bump in the night, past lives, spirit guides, and angels, and those beliefs touch her writing.  "Seaside is my paradise," Honey says. “It’s the only place I want to write.”  She is at work on her fourth novel, The Faithful Daughter.
