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…

Listen 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.

New Release: ‘The Faceless Man’

A puzzle with missing pieces and a person 's face.

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…

A ‘Terrific’ New Series

A blue background with the words " terrific " coming soon.

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…
