We need more fiction.
We need more beguiling villains worthy of the conflicted hero’s pursuit.
Their smokey rooms have to be soaked in familiar imagery, while swift subversions of any genre’s expectations make their entrances and turn over their tables. The roads they’re on have to twist and turn their mission so they lose sight of the incitement far behind them.
We need Hollow Grim, noir sleuth manhunter rifleman, and Eric Verrity, misunderstood superhuman crime fighter, among a small series of revolving main characters.
Welcome to the Potboiler. Pulpy paperback genre fiction with some fresh paint.
Good, fun reading for your ears.

It’s the dying days of the Nineteenth Century, Northern Nevada. The Postal Clerk of Progress Township, Nevada, and sometimes agent fugitive hunter for the US Marshal Service, Hollow Grim, is on trial for murder.
The entire township was gathered at the steps of the chapel as Sunday funeral service parishioners started the second verse of Amazing Grace, when Hollow Grim’s rifle shot cut through the high noon sky and killed John Butler, in front of his friends and neighbors.
The prosecution’s case is bulletproof. The judge’s gavel hovers over a guilty verdict and a sentence of execution.
