Interviewing Trey
Second Volume of the Todd Chapman Interviews
Things have been good for Todd Chapman in the roughly twelve years since he first interviewed the villain Leather. The original article was a sensation, which led to a followup book called Low Society where he interviewed more third and fourth tier villains. At this point, interviewing a villain was just another day on the job… until the insane stage magician and legendary first tier supervillain the Jack O’Knaves kills Chapman’s current interview subject and kidnaps Chapman. Now Chapman has been trapped in the literal underground casino called Dispater’s Pit with only a hostile hench called Trey as his guide. The Jack says he wants Chapman to write a book, but all Chapman knows is the Jack O’Knaves always has a plan… and very few people caught up in the Jack’s plans survive the experience.
Corbett-877
Captain Liam Corbett is a captain aboard a Confederation starship. He has had a stellar career and never failed in his duty. If you asked anyone, they’d insist that Liam Corbett was one of a kind.
Unfortunately, that turns out to be wrong.
The Confederate mass transmitter can instantly move cargo or people from one place to another in a wave of energy. It’s in use all over the Confederation, with millions of people transmitting as a matter of course. Only when Captain Corbett transmits to the surface of a planet in search of necessary materials to save his ship… he finds himself in a limbo-like world inhabited by the unmourned dead… because every time a living being transmits they’re instantly killed and a new being and soul with their memories appears at the destination.
Liam Corbett thought he was one of a kind. He never expected to be the eight hundred and seventy-seventh Liam Corbett and counting,

Justice Wing Halcyon Days: Motivation
For years the hero known as the Artifact has protected Evergreen City and the Earth with the power of the Consanguineous Assay — an alien device capable of rebuilding itself into any machine its wielder can imagine.
Then the Artifact’s fiancée Julia Kelly was brutally murdered, purely to strike at the Artifact.
Now Julia Kelly’s sister Emily Smith, alongside Landon Moore — aka the Artifact — have to wrap up the loose ends of Julia’s life, even as the rest of the world only seems to care about what the Artifact will do in response.

Interviewing Leather - Being the Steve
The Steve is a professional nobody. Trained to blend into any crowd, watch for law enforcement or heroes, warn the villain and henches he works for and with if there should be trouble, and call the support services if they’re arrested. The villain called Leather’s assigned Steve is good at what he does and likes the pay she earns, even if he doesn’t actually like her very much. But all that — and the Steve’s understanding of his job, Leather, the Service, and the Steve himself — comes into question when Leather decides to kidnap a reporter for a week’s worth of interview…
