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.

Potboiler is an old term for pulpy paperback genre writing that’s ready to face the bad guy.
Let’s do the intro.
Todd needs Eric’s help. A disgruntled worker at an office building downtown has taken his coworkers hostage, and has a bomb set explode. Todd doesn’t have time to negotiate or space to rush the scene. He knows that Eric is his best and only chance.
The encounter Eric enters will reset the trajectory of Eric’s public life. A door is going to be open for him that is awfully difficult to close.
