Highlights from Fanboy Expo 2022
My husband Cory and I had an awesome time at Fanboy Expo. I loved seeing local and regional friends, and I met a lot of wonderful new people, too. I’m looking forward to coming back next year and possibly visiting other cities where Fanboy Expo hosts events.

Extinguished Worlds (Project in Progress)
I’m very excited to be working with Jerry Cornell and C. Andrew Nelson of Adventurous Ideas on my first full-season audio drama.
Casting for the eight-episode story is currently in-progress, and I’ll be releasing a novelization in ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats.
Extinguished Worlds centers around an eighteen-year-old named Caleb Gregory who discovers he can see ahead into the future and sometimes act in response to the visions. He uses this ability to avert his brother from being killed in an accident, and the two are later contacted for a dangerous but lucrative salvage operation.
Not everything about the mission is what it seems, however, and Caleb foresees the deaths of everyone involved—including himself. The shock of this involuntarily pushes his ability to its brink—resulting in him waking up in a hospital decades in the past instead of hours or minutes.
Confused and surrounded by a group of superheroes who claim to have known an older version of him for years, Caleb has to recover and navigate a way back to his own present—if someone in the past doesn’t kill him first.

Occupied Pulp
A Post-WW2 Anthology
THE WAR IS OVER, BUT THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES!
The end of World War II brought with it a renewed chance for peace, hope, and prosperity to the strife-ridden nations across the globe, but for some people treachery, intrigue, and conflict was in their blood…whether they liked it or not.
You’re enlisted to join forces with six stalwart pulp writers as they march into occupied territory in post-war Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Axis Powers have been vanquished, though in some camps the news either falls on deaf ears, or is a signal to work even harder to bring about the downfall of freedom-loving people everywhere.
OCCUPIED PULP offers all the two-fisted, slam-bang action and adventure that are hallmarks of the pulp tradition. Along the way, you’ll encounter fascinating heroes and villains who wage a mighty struggle to either protect the fragile peace or set the wheels of conflict and destruction back in motion.
Stay vigilant! Some enemies have not yet laid down their arms!
Featuring stories by Will (DOC SAVAGE) Murray, William Patrick (FU MANCHU)Maynard, Patricia (HANNARIA) Gilliam, Bobby (SNOW) Nash, Justin (STORM’S FURY) Bell, and John C. (MIDNIGHT GUARDIAN) Bruening.
OCCUPIED PULP created by Jim Beard and John C. Bruening.
Cover art by Adam Benet Shaw. Cover design and logo by Maggie Ryel.

Roulette
The Heroes of Corvus
After a former opponent dies during a rigged match against another villain, Icarus investigates the cause—a superpower-enhancing drug called Relanta, a.k.a. Roulette. Its distributor is targeting vulnerable young heroes and even civilians in major cities, and all the evidence begins to lead to a superhero the police and feds can’t touch.
Icarus can put an end to it—if he doesn’t get framed in the process.
This is a short story prequel to The Heroes of Corvus: A Superhero’s Duty and takes place five years earlier.
