India Muerte and the Dragonfire Pearl
I can’t believe it’s been two years. I have no idea what happened to the time – I swear I only recently finished the Great Frontier.
Well, the wait wasn’t for nothing. Book 6 of my pirate fantasy series – India Muerte and the Dragonfire Pearl – is finally out, in ebook and paperback!
I wanted to take India and his crew truly out of their comfort zone in this story, far from the fantasy Caribbean mos

"The first issue here is a fun Victorian circus mystery. The rest is an odd hybrid, set somewhen in the Silver Age but with modern neuroscience and talk of triggers and punching down - I know superhero universe timelines are always wonky, but surely b"

of
Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Vol. 2: Strange Visitor:
"I found Boy Thunder's introduction really poorly written. I didn't care for him at all, and the tone of the narration — which is mostly lighthearted, with a side of grim-dark — clashes a lot with his origin story, which is dark! The tone shifts betwe"

| I wasn't a fan of the giant manga/anime/JRPG sword; it felt out of place in a DC comic, and it's not even aesthetic, it's just a huge flat plank. I'm very much in the minority here - the sword seems to be a hit with everyone else, but I've never been ...more | |

| Good but I would've preferred much more of the survivalism. Ollie jumps from spoiled rich kid to apex predator in a page with an unfortunate "Weeks pass. Months" skipping over all the striving and failures and progress. It comes across as barely an i ...more | |

“The only things that could be considered wrong with you could also be considered the fault of the world around you. There is little-to-nothing intrinsically wrong with you.”

“Laughter really is the best medicine and there are no strict lines to be drawn for its use. You shouldn't assume you understand why someone is joking about something and you should never ever rob somebody of their sense of humor. You might just be taking away their lifeline.”

“Now, look you here, Sekundar," says I, but he came up straight like a little bantam and cut me off.
"Sir Alexander. if you please," says he icily, as though I’d never seen him with his breeches down, chasing after some big Afghan bint.”

“I've been a Danish prince, a Texas slave-dealer, an Arab sheik, a Cheyenne Dog Soldier, and a Yankee navy lieutenant in my time, among other things, and none of 'em was as hard to sustain as my lifetime's impersonation of a British officer and gentleman.”
