In Step With Indiana Authors... Featuring an Interview With Tony Perona

Abstract

After seeing the photos of Tony Perona at his website, tonyperona.com, which I perused in preparation for this interview, I wondered which man I would be meeting. Would it be the clean-cut businessman in a conservative suit, or the mysterious sword-wielding man with the wry grin who came through the door at Starbucks that afternoon? It was neither. The Tony Perona I had the pleasure of meeting drove up in a minivan and bounded through the door with a warm, friendly smile. He looked like any active dad out running errands in suburban Indianapolis on the weekend and, in fact, was fresh off the slopes from skiing the previous day with his church group.
