Praise for NOW BEFORE THE DARK


“With a lyrical tone and hilarious dialogue that do double duty with its world building, the novel continues the brilliant satire seen in the series’ earlier books…whimsical adventure, and frequent, humorous plays on words, spoofs of contemporary events, and clever reversals of expected dynamics make Now Before the Dark a delight.” —C. Foster, Foreword Reviews

” Fans of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams will appreciate the farce and puns that are the hallmark of Hooker’s writing.” —Dawn Kuczwara, Booklist

Time is running out for the Old Country.

How does one save a nation when the erstwhile gods are against the idea? In the finale of Terribly Serious Darkness, it’s up to Sloot Peril–the world’s greatest accountant and poorest everything else–to figure it out.

Unfortunately, he’ll have help. A philosopher who’d sooner die (again) than do any real work, a bard who can’t play his non-instrument, and a spooky wizard who’s often mistaken for a vampire may not be ideal allies, but with any luck—which Sloot’s never had—they’ll occasionally get out of his way.

Does Sloot stand a chance against serpent cults, demons, dragons, and the most sinister financial report every written? Doubtful. If he’s even going to survive the dance contest, he’ll have to think of something now, before the Dark swallows everything up.

Sam Hooker writes darkly humorous fantasy novels about thing like tyrannical despots and the masked scoundrels who tickle them without mercy. He knows all the best swear words, though he refuses to repeat them because he doesn’t want to attract goblins.

       
INTERVIEW
  1. What is on your nightstand?
    1. No more than a dozen books.
  2. What author would you totally fan?
    1. The late, great Sir Terry Pratchett. His work made me the author I am today.
  3. What makes you cringe?
    1. Bad whiskey and good comedy.
  4. Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
    1. I tend to do a lot of plotting and then throw it all to the wind when a ridiculous bit of whimsy occurs to me.
  5. Is there a word you love to use?
    1. “Said.” My editors try and change my “saids,” and I dig in my heels. I’ll allow an occasional “he blurted,” or “she declared” if the context warrants, but those are conversational garnishes. I like to think that my readers are more interested in the conversational steak and potatoes, so I keep the parsley to a minimum.

Also, if you have any pictures of your pet you would like to share, please attach them.  My readers love animals!

I’m sending a photo of the Crown & Paw portraits of my boys, Cervantes & Maxwell. Enjoy.
