Blurb: The voices of Marshall's childhood schizophrenia had always haunted him. But, his powers weren't from those; they were from the other voices—the real ones. Now the government, his surrogate family of rogue former superheroes, and warring Demi-Gods all demand Marshall's help. Can he find his own voice in time?
~~~ "The Be(k)nighted is a spellbinding narrative that will draw in readers from the first few sentences and leave them on the edge of their seats to the very last page…[the author's] care and perspective of those who suffer from a mental illness is particularly riveting and provides a much-needed vantage point that is too often reduced to a stereotype, marginalized, or ignored altogether." (5/5 STARS) — Seattle Book Review
“The Be(k)nighted is a tightly-woven web of intrigue and adventure, melding genres through deft storytelling.” —Tim Marquitz, author of the Demon Squad Series
"The assemblage of characters from different races is enriching…" — Onlinebookclub.org
"This is thoughtful and deep fiction for both young adults and their parents…" (5/5 STARS) — Portland Book Review
