2 5-star reviews

I've read every installment of Ms. Taylor-Perry's The Raiford Chronicles. I didn't think the writing could get any better or a story line could get any deeper. Yet, King Satin's Realm is outstanding! It's a story that offers hope, even in your darkest hour. The hero is far from perfect, but he's a man for all to emulate. The feelings of family and friendship among the characters are something to hold on to and know that even when things are bad, faith and endurance make a person strong. The characters themselves leap off the page to become real to the reader. King Satin's Realm is a masterpiece, a must read. I can hardly wait for the sequel.

I've been privileged to read most of Ms. Taylor-Perry's work, both published and yet to be published. She says King Satin's Realm is the first novel she penned. One could only wish to be this good from the start. In my humble opinion, it is the best piece she's written. Authentic language, dialect, historical facts join to make this a fantasy unlike any I've ever encountered. Draconis is a place I would love to visit. And if you love dragons—meet an ensemble of reptilian characters that you root for and fall in love with. Get your copy today!

Max, the first thing I ever posted on here was King Satin's Realm. It's actually the first novel I ever wrote. I write across genres. Stories come to me, I put them on paper.

I was privileged to have read this way before I thought Janet Taylor-Perry would publish this. I have read most of her books and have loved each and every one of them. I am not a "fantasy" reader but this book kept me interested from the very first page. What a lovely world Ms. Perry has created! It is delightful yet dark at times. The cast of characters will become your best friends and you will laugh and cry throughout this well written book. Didn't want it to end!

King Satin's Realm got another 5 star review!

The author has created an entire world of talking animals (former humans), complete with a good wizard, dragons and an evil witch. I didn't want to put it down! As soon as you think the story is over, there is a new twist. I can't wait to read Part II!

First: how long did it take you to write (in draft) KSR?  Second, like Max I am a little confused on the apparent genre-shift between Raiford Chronicles Volumes 1 and 2. Third, A Sonnet for Satin that begins KSR is heart-rending even though I have mixed feelings about cats.

Re: 2 5-star reviews

Charles, King Satin's Realm and two sequels were the first books I wrote. Satin was started in 2000 just after my spouse gave me the "I don't love you and never have" routine. I just started writing basically day and night. I might have slept three hours every night for a while. The first draft took 2 months. The sequel over a year. The third in the series about 7 months, and the fourth I wrote ten years after the first one.

The Raiford Chronicles have the springboard of students throwing books at me & being extremely disrespected. I just had thoughts and even dream sequences that had to get put on paper. It started as only one novel--Lucky Thirteen. I was going to be an exploration into multiple personalities. My daughter literally threw the first three printed chapters across the room saying, "Momma, if you make Ray a killer, I'll never read another thing you write." Thus, a detour and four books.

I confess that everything I write has been catalyzed but some life event.
