Great Daze

January 24, 2022 By

A masked avenger who is far from super and stands for nothing, a collector who traipses from Earth to Earth in search of oddities, a man with a cat and a gift… being a dick to ghosts, waking up in the infinite lives we could have led from the mundane to the fantastic without warning whether we want to or not, an odd liberator from beyond the stars journeys to a fantastical realm, and three lifelong friends go out for a leisurely Saturday game of disc golf and end up entangled in a murder that only they can solve. Get lost in the Great Daze, and maybe have a laugh while you’re there.

Free: The Snyderverse Saga: The Culture-Shattering Phenomena Behind Zack Snyder’s DC Film Universe

October 26, 2021 By

In the midst of a superhero takeover with groundbreaking films bringing comic books to the big screen on an unprecedented scale, one cinematic saga would forever alter the landscape of superhero movies and Hollywood…Batman. Superman. Wonder Woman. As three of the most iconic heroes of all time, the task of translating these beloved DC Comics characters and their stories to film would be the ultimate challenge for any director. By embracing this challenge, Zack Snyder—who gained popularity following successes with 300 and Watchmen—would find himself at the epicenter of controversy. Shaped by studio conflicts, creative differences, increasingly divisive public opinion, social media, the COVID-19 pandemic, and personal tragedy, the making of Snyder’s films (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League) would come together to form a remarkable tale. In The Snyderverse Saga, entertainment journalist Daryn Kirscht chronicles the epic behind-the-scenes true story of Snyder’s DC Comics films, their revolutionary impact on superhero movies and Hollywood, and the power of the fandom in fighting for creative freedom. After achieving victory following the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, a new wave is on the rise with #RestoreTheSnyderVerse to adapt the cinematic landscape to the modern world… a “Knightmare” world. Will the “Snyderverse” continue? Only time will tell… Free on Kindle.

Sighing in frustration, he rose from his childhood bed and stood in front of the long mirror that filled the back of the closet door. He only looked a little different than he had then—he was over a decade older, but his body hadn’t aged much. Whatever the doctor had dropped in that tube, it had healed every imperfection he’d ever had, including his shattered nose and his countless surgery scars. Ten years of fighting crime hadn’t added any scars to his collection, either. He was still as perfect as the day he stood in front of this very mirror and admired his newly acquired physique.

The change was all in his eyes. Free on Kindle.

Free: Hungry Gods

September 13, 2020 By

New costume? Check. Superhero mentor? Check. Government conspiracy to cover up the End of the World? Uh… check?

Luke Gillis is barely dragging himself through school. Who said community college was easy? Good thing he has a back-up plan: Crime-fighting superhero. Thrashing bank robbers is a lot more fun than analytic geometry.

First lesson for newbie superheroes: You’re not invincible. Second lesson: Neither are they.

Luke’s mentor is the Miracle Worker. Yes, that Miracle Worker. Okay, his record is iffy. Some say he’s more outlaw than hero, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Still, Luke must be doing something right. The U.S. Army has invited his alter ego—the dashing speedster Spitball—on a top-secret mission into America’s heartland. With the country’s premier superhero team missing-in-action, this could be his big break.

But if so, why is everyone trying to kill him…?

Rampaging monsters, vanished superheroes, and secret wars in the Midwest. What are Spitball’s chances of survival on his first day in the tights?

The Identity Crisis Universe (IDCU) takes the comic books you grew up on, gamma-irradiates them, and sets them loose upon the world!
• Book 1: Hungry Gods
• Book 2: Secret Origins
• Book 3: Deus Ex Machina. Free on Kindle.

But, with shadow monsters and raiders closing the trade routes, she’s out of a job, and lost beneath the ruins of one of the greatest cities of the world.

Can she discover what happened at Leon’s Deep, in time to stop it from happening again? Or did she escape the ambush, only to see the rest of her world fall to the ones behind it?

A face from the past, an attempted theft, and a death threat: Just what every girl needs to make a bad day better.

What she doesn’t expect is that there are some forms of magic she just can’t master.
With the fate of the Four Caverns hanging in the balance, and raiders closing on the monastery, Marsh thinks the last thing she needs is to discover she can’t re-light the trail glows.
In fact, the last thing she needs is a violent visitor from the past and the promise that her refuge will fall.
Haunted by the warning, she and the shadow mages must clear the trade route to Ruins Hall and establish a fighting force to protect the Four Caverns, a task easier said than done.
Can she make it through the tunnels alive and discover what links her failed delivery to the raiders?

Charlie Holiday doesn’t have assassins tracking his every move. His wife was kidnapped by drug-trafficking thugs. He doesn’t owe the casino $2.2 million.

But when your life has been full of the expected and you wish for something unexpected and it arrives, what would you do?

The Villain’s Sidekick

September 5, 2014 By eReader Nation

In celebration of the first anniversary of its publication, “The Villain’s Sidekick” will be free for the taking for all Kindle and Kindle app users for five fabulous fun-filled days and nights starting on Friday September 5.

The story of a supervillain’s henchman with a machine-gun arm, a steel jaw, an estranged six-year-old daughter, an angry ex-wife, an addiction problem and a troubled conscience, The Villain’s Sidekick has been favorably compared to the works of Terry Pratchett and occupies the same psychic space as books like “Soon I Will Be Invincible,” “Confessions of a D-List Supervillain” and “Prepare to Die.” It’s funny, violent, introspective, dark, ridiculous and fun.

And the price is right.
