Turn Back the Pages is a feature where I spotlight a comic that is not fresh and new. It may have come out a few months ago or even a few years ago. Maybe it was hyped and popular, or maybe it was an underappreciated gem. Whatever the case, it’ll be a great comic that’sContinue reading “Turn Back the Pages: Secret Six”

New Superhero Fiction of 2019 (Part 2)
Hey, super-readers. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new superhero fiction roundup, so here’s a giant mega-post with twelve thirteen new books! I’m tempted to call it “New Supervillain Fiction,” since the villains almost outnumber the heroes. But I love a compelling, complex supervillain, so bring on the bad guys. As usual, IContinue reading “New Superhero Fiction of 2019 (Part 2)”
Summer Getaway: A White Knight & Black Valentine Series Short Story
Dave set their suitcases on the dresser and stretched, still stiff from the flight. He surveyed the cozy bedroom, taking a moment to appreciate the view of the mountains out the window. “This is nice,” he said to Val. “I need to have it redecorated,” she called back from the bathroom, where she was touchingContinue reading “Summer Getaway: A White Knight & Black Valentine Series Short Story”
Older Characters in Superhero Media
Readers of The White Knight & Black Valentine Series sometimes ask me why I chose to make my heroes “older.” The superhero genre doesn’t have an age limit: it includes heroes from children to seniors. Just look at the Power Pack or the Justice Society of America. Like most media, though, I’d say it skewsContinue reading “Older Characters in Superhero Media”
How to Write a Series of Superhero Fiction
I’ve made some mistakes. I’ve also written some pretty good stuff, in my totally-not-biased opinion. If nothing else, now that I’ve finished The White Knight & Black Valentine Series and am the author of five superhero novels, I’ve learned a lot. And, like the veteran superhero imparting her knowledge to her young sidekick, I’m hereContinue reading “How to Write a Series of Superhero Fiction”
Superhuman Disaster is in stores now!
Today’s the day! Superhuman Disaster is out in the world for everyone to read! I can’t believe the final book in The White Knight & Black Valentine Series is finished. It hasn’t sunk in yet, and I’ll have to post my reflections on the series later next week. But for now, let’s get to theContinue reading “Superhuman Disaster is in stores now!”
Cover Reveal: Superhuman Disaster
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! You’ve probably noticed it’s been pretty quiet around here lately. That’s because I’ve been spending every spare minute trying to finish Superhuman Disaster. I’m still hoping to get it out in December, in which case it’ll release on the 31st, but I may not make it. If that happens,Continue reading “Cover Reveal: Superhuman Disaster”
Book Spotlight: Red Wrath by Gerhard Gehrke
I’m always on the lookout for cool new superhero books, so when Gerhard Gehrke contacted me about his new novel, Red Wrath, I was super interested (pun intended). Then I heard the premise described as “What if the Punisher tried to take out Superman?” and immediately put it on my to-read list. A female protagonistContinue reading “Book Spotlight: Red Wrath by Gerhard Gehrke”
Favorite Book Quote Art
I’ve posted before about how I love making book aesthetics, but if you follow me on Twitter, you know I’ve also got a thing for throwing together images with quotes from my novels. #BookQW (Book Quote Wednesday) is my favorite hashtag. Authors posts quotes from their books based on a weekly prompt, and it’s coolContinue reading “Favorite Book Quote Art”
New Superhero Fiction (September 2018)
You’ve probably read Kill Them All by now. (And if you haven’t, then you should get on that.) As you’re waiting for Superhuman Disaster to come out and that cliffhanger to be resolved, here are some of the coolest-looking new superhero novels to keep you occupied. As usual, I haven’t read all of these booksContinue reading “New Superhero Fiction (September 2018)”
