Perry P. Perkins was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Majoring in theatre and English at Clackamas College, Perry received his Foursquare ministry license from LIFE Bible College in 1995, pastoring at Sunnyside Foursquare Church.
Perry is a student of Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writer’s Guild, and has published scripts, drama collections, and outdoor sports articles in numerous national magazines. He is also a frequent contributor to the Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies. His first Christian mystery novel, Just Past Oysterville, was published in 2004, followed by a sequel, Shoalwater Voices, in 2006.
Perry and his wife Victoria reside in northern Oregon, where they live a quiet life of servitude to their basset hound Phlash and their brand new daughter, Gracie.
Hi, Perry:
I got your information from Griff and wanted to say “hello.” I’m on the other side of the country–in Southwest Virginia, no less–and have been assigned a novel by NAL set on the Oregon Coast. I’ve subscribed to The News Guard, a weekly Oregon Coast newspaper, and have been learning as much as I can about Oregon. Are there any quirks or nuances I should be aware of with regard to Oregon and the good folks living there?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Happy Easter!
Gayle

Holy Stryper fans is that you Perry? Columbia High School Class of 88? If that is you, I still have photo’s from the awesome camping trip at Oxbow Park! Glad to hear of your writing success and congrats on the new baby!
Your old friend, Doug
