Just 8 hours left in the Kickstarter! Before we get to the close, please take a moment to make sure you've selected the backer reward you want to receive. I know there's at least one person that didn't select a reward. It's awesome if you just want... (Read More)
The Significance of the Elbow

The Jewel of New England
August 26th - via: kickstarter.com
I feel it's only fair to take a moment to talk about the setting of Cobalt City. Sometimes called the Jewel of New England, Cobalt City is where superheroes go to make a name for themselves. There are superpowered individuals elsewhere in the world,... (Read More)

Futurist Supervillain!
August 13th - via: kickstarter.com
For today's update I thought I'd share a bit of the work that went into the story. In this case, the main antagonist. I'd laid the groundwork in the first book for the antagonist in this book, though it was really just bare bones. He had to be... (Read More)
