There was a time not so long ago when I thought it would be safest to play both sides; have both heroes and villains behind me. So I wrote about Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero and I edited the combined works of many super villains in A Method to the Madness, A Guide to the Super Evil. Granted, the villain community didn’t give me much choice about the editing job. Do any of you see the fatal flaw in that plan? As you might guess, villains don’t like having the light of justice shone on them, so when Mik Murdoch put a post on this website calling the aforementioned baddies out, they were not thrilled. In fact, the villain known as Lord Aquarius […]

Get Published Episode 107 – Michael R Fletcher – Lessons of a First-time Author
On today’s show I have Michael R Fletcher. Michael is a writer, rock n’ roller, sound engineer and dad. He has had several short stories published and is about to release his first novel through Five Rivers Publishing. We talk about first time books, writing and what it’s like to be an unknown writer.

Me and my fellow individual computers had such fun back then. But that is really another story. And not why I have bothered to waste my time and hack into this site to deliver a message. First let’s talk about hacking. Yesterday some young upstart, named P-Girl said that she had […]

My young friend, Mik Murdoch, informed me that the owner of this website has been kidnapped, along with his entire family by the despicable villain, Lord Aquarius. What has he done wrong other than to write the book Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero and edit your wicked compendium A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil. I find Aquarius’ actions to be cowardly and pathetic! Who am I? I am P-Girl. A member of the Justice Squad and these words are being posted without the aid of the victim, Michell Plested. I have instead asked my colleague, Kid Crypto, to white-hat hack into this website so I could call out the villains of the world including you, Aquarius. Let […]
