Listen to ‘The Silver Stranger’
I now have two audiobooks out! The audiobook for the second Terrific novel, The Silver Stranger, is available for your listening pleasure. Once again, Adrienne Stringfellow is narrating, and I’m glad she is. Give it a listen on Audible! The Faceless Man will follow with its own audiobook by the end of the year. But you…
Read More‘The Green Shadow’ Has Landed
I have completed my superhero prose series, Terrific. All four books now exist in physical form. The Flying Woman. The Silver Stranger. The Faceless Man. And at last, The Green Shadow, which you can now find on Amazon (and soon, other platforms). I’ve been working toward this day since 2003, when I started writing a play about a young woman who…
Read More‘The Green Shadow’ Is Coming
Terrific, my original superhero prose series, wrapped up its serialization last week, but another milestone remains: publishing the final volume of stories in book form. The Green Shadow, the fourth and final Terrific book, is in production and should be out in paperback and ebook this August. For now, I have a cover to share. Justin Burks has once again…
Read MoreListen to ‘The Flying Woman’
Terrific kicked off in 2018 with the novel The Flying Woman. At long last, I’ve added an audiobook version. Here’s the basic blurb: Superheroes are supposed to be perfect. They’re also not supposed to exist, but one has recently emerged, in defiance of all known laws of physics. Miranda Thomas is hardly concerned with any of that.…
Read MoreThe Spinner Rack
Over on Substack, dozens of authors have written original short stories inspired by the style and sensibilities of The Twilight Zone. Mine is called “The Spinner Rack.” It involves comic books, naturally. Here’s the basic concept: In a struggling bookstore in a dying mall, a dispirited accountant finds a childhood dream on an old spinner…

Read MoreNew Release: ‘The Faceless Man’
I started serializing my next book on Substack nearly one year ago. That next book is now an actual book: The Faceless Man. In the initial announcement last year, I said: Superheroes work best in a combination of short and long stories—episodic adventures as well as ongoing sagas. The smaller stories humanize the characters so that we care…
Read MoreComing Soon: The Faceless Man
The third book in the Terrific series will be out in March 2025. The Faceless Man collects the stories I’ve been serializing on Substack. They’re still free to read right now, but they’ll start going behind paywalls soon, when more polished versions are available in paperback and ebook form. Justin Burks, the same artist who…
Read MoreThe Manor Within
The first serialized Terrific story is complete! It’s called “The Manor Within,” and it’s a bit more surreal than usual. Read the first part here. You can also keep up with the series by following this index here. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks for reading!
Read MoreA ‘Terrific’ New Series
I’ve been working on the sequel to The Flying Woman and The Silver Stranger, and I realized it needed a different format: shorter stories that build on each other, a mix of episodic adventures and ongoing sagas. That’s the sort of structure superheroes are built for. Please see this post on my Substack site for…
