Introducing: The Intrepid

The last few months I've been putting together the new book, getting it ready for proposal format, and generally trying to get the next book in print.

In doing this I have gained an agent: Amanda Luedeke of MacGregor Literary. I have nothing but good things to say about Amanda - hardworking, intelligent, and coming from a tremendous pedigree of agent training. Being a member of MacGregor she is the protégé of THE Chip MacGregor (a tremendous agent who, sadly, just discontinued his incredible blog).
Amanda has proven perfect for me because she possesses unique talent: the ability to calm me down and refocus me on productive things. I tend toward obsession. Once a thought enters my head and sticks it's virtually impossible for me to move on to something else. Day-to-day activities are also on this list. Having an agent like Amanda has helped me retool my habits as an author and get better at what I do.
All that to say: I've been busy. Haven't been blogging, and the as a result have not been connecting with you good people. So here we go....
Reconnect sequence initiating in 3, 2, 1....
During the month of November I took part in a beloved pass-time among writers: National Novel Writing Month. That's right - complete a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. I didn't succeed. Not even close. But I'm still working.
Before I started I took a vote from you, dear readers, to decide what genre of fiction I should write. By an overwhelming landslide it was established that I should write a superhero novel.
Thus, the first installment in my modern epic of super-powered heroes is nearly ready to unveil.
At the moment I'm looking for the best possible way to deliver the pdf of this first installment to you fine people. With luck, I'll have a method for this by the end of the week.
Now, just to avoid confusion: this is not the new book I'm working with Amanda on. This is just for fun: a gift to you, my readers. But I've really been enjoying working on this and hope it is as much fun for you guys to read as it was for me to write.
So, for the first time ever, allow me to unveil my most recent NaNoWriMo masterpiece - THE INTREPID

When a meteorite from another dimension falls to earth it brings with it a mysterious being who seeks to save humanity from some impending destruction. As he calls together his 'INTREPID HONOR GUARD' one thing has become clear: it is not a hero's right to bleed...

...It is their responsibility. 

"The INTREPID" draws from the tradition of 'Golden Age' comic books to weave a story of what it truly means to be a hero, and the cost it comes with.

This book is just for fun and is not intended for publication other than here on the internet. But soon, very soon, faithful readers, The Intrepid: Invocation will be online. As you probably noticed it is clearly labeled as 'act 1' and is the first in a five part series.
Brace yourself: the Great Dread One is rising, and the time has come for heroes.
