The Shadow: Double Z, audio-pulp

Rolf Hartmann September 29, 2021

Excellent free audio-book, or audio-pulp if you will, from Razorfist. He does a truly professional level job of transferring Walter B Gibson’s original story into audio form, excellent voice-work and expertly chosen music and sounds used at just the right moments.

Section One Revised

Rolf Hartmann September 13, 2020

Hero Worship, Section One: False Protagonist. I continue work on the story, but was sidetracked as I my National Guard unit was activated for Covid-19 relief (I worked assembling kits for food banks if you're curious). I have however made progress, including a large revision to the first section, expanding it adding quite a bit…

Rolf Hartmann February 28, 2020

Hero Worship: Exert, Enter the New Guardians I joined a writer's group recently, and while they've enjoyed the story, they suggested the first chapter needed some more action, so I wrote some in while introducing a couple of new characters, one of whom in some ways epitomizes some of the problems of superhero culture in…

Chapter Four is Up

Rolf Hartmann November 6, 2018

Much delayed thanks to a few things, but the next chapter is finally ready. This chapter is a bit more setup but also explains some things like where exactly the rules are on things like guns. Does it count if it's mounted on a vehicle or on a turret? Certainly not when it's Batman. To…

The Perpetuity Cube

Rolf Hartmann May 18, 2018

Hero Worship Interlude 1: The Perpetuity Cube While writing the main plot I have had few ideas for stories which fit, but can be left out. I took this a step further in this case by making the whole thing autonomous so that people unfamiliar with the central story can still read it, and it…
