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.

Eric is an exceptional young man that has spent his life being told that the things that make him special are flaws and limitations. He just wants to help. Helping a stranger at a moment of vulnerability is a complex thing. It’s a intrusion, even if it’s the right thing to do.
As Eric begins his court mandated therapy, his friendship with Molly, the proprietress of his neighborhood’s grocery store, takes on a new dimension when he intervenes during an attempted robbery.
