Who is Charles Pero?
The Charles Pero most people know and see often is not quite the same person as the man who writes suspense novels about the world's most brutal, prolific and reprehensible killers. When those who know "Charles Pero, businessman" find out that I also write the Twisted Killer Series of suspense thrillers dealing in depth with serial killers, they immediately realize that there's a side of me they have just not noticed before."
Author's Bio
Born into a Sicilian-American vegetable farming family from a small town outside of Buffalo, New York, Charles Pero began his lifelong career as a farmer and businessman for the multi-million dollar, century old, internationally operated and marketed, Pero Vegetable Company-- now located in Delray Beach, Florida.Being raised around his grandmother who loved to tell stories, Charles developed a passion and talent to create his own stories with mysterious and thrilling twists...which he crafted into novels about serial killers.
Pero developed the Twisted Killer Series and has his own imprint: Pero Thrillers under SterlingHouse Publisher, Inc. The Maze Murderer, Tainted Blood, Torn Apart, and Black Ribbon are all books in the Twisted Killer Series.
While Charles' career as a farmer started innocently, so did his interest in serial killers. He decided to start researching the subject of serial killers and quickly came to a rather startling conclusion: We love our serial killers. We fear them, yes. We never want our paths to cross, that's true. But, to use the old adage, we are drawn to them like a moth to a flame.
Charles Pero is also the mastermind for the traveling lecture series, "A Killer Mind: An Author's Perspective," which delves into the motives and methods of serial killers by studying their psychological make-up. The lecture also gives tips to help women protect themselves from serial predators.
