What’s better than a superhero? A team-up! Any time you get two (or more) superheroes involved, you’ve got potential for more exciting happenings. And, likely, more exciting conflict. In Sparx and Arrows, Kara Sparx, who is very much not a team joiner, works with Huntsman to deal with a problem that they’ve both had to confront–robotic […]

I’ve just published my first collection of short stories, Sparx and Arrows. It contains five super hero stories featuring Kara Sparx and three different incarnations of the Huntsman. It’s set in the Cobalt City universe, which my friend Nathan Crowder originally developed. But he lets other people play in his sandbox, so Jeremy writes his Kensei series in that universe […]
