The Hidden is a series of novels that I am writing based on television scripts written with the team of Kevin Mackey, Dirk Tiede, Dan Haracz, and Michael Kuhl. It focuses on the life of Malcolm Pierce, a rather ordinary man who can see all sorts of ghosts, demons, and other assorted nasties. He chooses to fight these while keeping them as hidden from public knowledge as possible. His fight is aided by his use of practical magic, instincts and messages that come to him in found text, though he’s never understood the source of these messages.
His experiences in the paranormal, he has come into contact with all sorts of paranormal events and societies, including a race of shape shifters that evolved along with humans, exist with us, and either tolerate us or want all humans wiped off the face of the earth. Demons are made up of races from another dimension who cross over to the earth either by magic use or via portals formed where matter is breaking down, things like nuclear reactors and supercolliders.
Malcolm may fight these things along many lines, via his connection with Chicago Police Detective Jon Nami, Father Llewellyn, a church clergyman who helps with domestic disturbances, and a network of other connections. One of the central themes is the toll it takes on Malcolm’s life, he can barely keep a job. He also has a girlfriend, a succubus who is trying to have her first real relationship.
Most stories are set in Chicago, but they can range all over.
I’m planning on a podcast version of the novel to be released shortly after the election. Writing my political blog is taking my time right now.
I’ll also write up some more dynamic copy for this soon. This is more about, rather than promo.
I also plan on a second podcast in support of this, which I call The Compulsive Writer’s Support Group. I’ll keep you posted on details on these and other projects right here.
