It turns out I’m not alone in the universe. There are other people writing about superheroes. Golly, who knew? A bunch of us have gotten together a super discount weekend sale just in time for solidarity with a certain comic book-inspired convention on the west coast. We name no…
For the second Temporary Superheroine novel, Crisis at Comicon, I dreamed up several over-the-top action sequences, culminating in one big blowout of a scene.

Forgive me for plastering her all over my website, but I’m excited. Check out Temporary Superheroine at Amazon for the Kindle edition and the print edition, or Barnes & Noble for the library…
My very first book, Temporary Superheroine, will be released in the next few days. It’s a light roman à clef superhero adventure with a dash—only a dash, I promise—of romance. Longtime comics fans will recognize some amusingly familiar elements in the storyline, which I included to pay tribute to our…
