Very cool art. So, first apologies. I am way behind on Small Town Heroes, for which I am very, very sorry. All I can say is a lot of things have been happening, but I have also let myself get distracted, and finally STH has undergone more serious plot-changes than any book so far. How … More Updates, Cool Art, and Small Town Heroes Chapter Two.
Heroes against profiling. I know I’ve already talked about the new Captain America movie, but I just caught an excellent article on Law and the Multiverse. It discusses Operation Insight, the initiative that Alexander Pierce *cough* Hydra spearheaded within SHIELD and Nick Fury–perhaps tired of the “long twilight struggle–approved. Because, really, Operation Insight and the … More A Winter War
If you don’t know what happens next, go away and come back when you do. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I hope that wasn’t too annoying, but who knows, I might have had a reader who didn’t know that Peter Parker’s first love … More Being Gwen Stacy.
Wow. Just, wow. We got a breather after taking down Villains Inc. Sort of, or a chance to change to a slow dance anyway. I missed Jacky, but the new members fitted in nicely even if sometimes I thought Watchman was trying to kill me. While peace didn’t exactly descend on our great metropolis, we … More A Light On The Horizon
Iron Man: the ultimate mecha-man. I don’t normally go and see a movie on opening night, but I decided that if I wanted to enjoy Iron Man 3 without spoilers I needed to do it quickly. Fair warning: this post spoils the hell out of it, so if you want to see it with the … More He did what?
Quite some time ago I reviewed another superhero story I discovered while doing research into the genre. The book was Power Down and I reviewed it here. I am pleased to announce that Ben White has now published the fourth book in the Charlotte Powers series: Rising Power.As you can tell from the cover, things … More A “Super” Series.

So if you enjoyed the book and would like to help promote it, post this on Facebook, tweet it, etc. I would love to give a thousand copies away! On other news, I will be manning a table sponsored by … More Wearing the Cape Giveaway!
Hello everyone, and sorry I’m posting so irregularly right now. Still working on Young Sentinels although I can’t give a firm release date. For one thing, YS will be the first book for which I will be paying for a professional edit! Try as I might, the previous books have all rolled out with embarrassing … More Young Sentinels, Peek and Update.
Behold the cover. I’ve got to say that this was really fun. Apprentice writers are encouraged to start with short stories, but I have never been able to condense an idea down to less than 50,000 words. But the concept for Omega Night, now available on Amazon, came as a flashback to a hundred Superman … More Omega Nights and New Years.
Where are they now? There’s another word for teen sidekicks. It’s child-soldiers. I stumbled across this gem on TV Tropes, followed the link to Amazon, and… well, go there to read my review. I’ll say this here; Seanan McGuire gets it. Too many writers approach superhero stories from the deconstructive angle, but what they don’t … More The Velveteen Hero
