There was fire and water, followed by single celled organisms. Then fish. Amphibians gave way to reptiles . Mammals followed. Soon, primates were using tools. One of their cousins painted symbols on a sheet of processed tree pulp, and that excited another distant relative, many years later. His name was Jeremiah. He was strange.

In a former life, Jeremy led the indie rock band, The Minni-Thins, to some success. In his current incarnation (AKA at forty), he still makes music, as well as art and writings, all under the umbrella of Shiny Red Nothing. Jeremy lives in West Michigan with his wife and two stepchildren.

After Bi…moreShip Of Theseus began its life as “Tales Of The Birdman, “ my first novel, which was published serially on a now defunct pop culture website. After Birdmant was complete, my editor and I began world building for “Tales Of The Skyrat,” a superhero book that was also intended to be published serially, and featured Wayne Bird, the protagonist of Birdman, as an elderly mentor to the superhero called Skyrat.

Flash forward nearly twenty years, with hundreds of pages drafted, and there’s nothing close to a complete book. Then the pandemic struck, and I took advantage of my layoff to create an expansive board game with role playing elements based on Skyrat’s world, called “Gangs Of Green City.” It was a huge undertaking, requiring hundreds of drawings and info-blurbs about the titular city and the heroes and villains that populate it. This work reignited my flame for the Skyrat book, and I essentially wrote “Gangs Of Green City,” which would become Part II of SOT, without using the previously written pages. The end result was inevitably influenced by my pandemic experience.

Finally, after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, I rewrote Skyrat as an African American teenager, believing that our world didn’t need another white savior/superhero. I also rewrote three chapters of “Tales Of The Birdman” to preface Wayne’s Green City adventures, and attached the trilogy of chapters to the beginning of the book as Part I, which added new layers of depth, complexity, and mystery. Altogether, Ship Of Theseus was Nearly 40 years in the making, and I’m so very pleased that Skyrat finally lives outside of my imagination!(less)

They Dug A Hole - A Short Story

 


Nicholas and his father canoed out to the massive rock formation that looked like a head jutting out from the cliffs, the one that the indigenous people had been afraid of. Nicholas imagined the rocks were elastic and some giant Ojibwe brave inside the cliff was pushing his face into them, like that time Jason put his Mom’s stockings over his head.

Painted cliffs ran for miles along this stret Read more of this blog post »

Flawed but on the right track

If this book were in every elementary school library, that’d be pretty cool. We need more books like this to shine a light on the stories of African Americans who have shaped our history and who we’ve become as a nation.
