Tommy McMahon lives in the City of Fountains with his two kittens, Phoenix & Sphinx, and spends the long nights battling his demons alongside the transcendent words of magicians posing as writers.

Again, in my mind these characters, E.K. through, ya know, Judge Tweed are real characters. I spent a lot of time making them up in my mind. But this story was always about E.K. and Kansas City. I would love to spend more time exploring the world and establishing the characters further, but I think it would lessen it’s existence by creating more. (less)
