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.

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it. Show […]

I saw no harm is allowing Mr. Murdoch to post his thoughts on this website. After all, he has allowed me to document his adventures thus far. What could be the worst that could happen? That is a question I probably should have explored in greater detail. You see, I was […]

Hi there. My name is Mik Murdoch and I’m a superhero. A boy superhero to be exact. You may have heard of me. My friend, Michell Plested, who has written about my adventures in the novel “Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero“, invited me to talk about some attention I am getting from the super-villain community. I, of course, am always happy to help my friends out and, I’m more than a little freaked out by some of the things I have heard. So here goes. My friend, Miss Purdy, came to see me a few days ago. She has been hearing rumours that the Super-Villain Community was talking about me. That was a shock to me because, a) I’m only a kid and […]
