Tinseltown Toils

Everybody’s got problems.

It doesn't matter if you're an internationally adored superhero, a warlock working for minimum wage, or an awkward teen villain about to lose their vCard. We’re all doing our best to deal with whatever life throws our way.

With heroes, villains, and normal humans living and working side-by-side, potholes aren’t the only thing you need to watch out for on the streets of Los Angeles.

Epic battles between good and evil cause traffic on the 101 and tourists can fall victim to unlicensed alien abductions on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.


Sometimes sweet, sometimes scathing, this wickedly funny collection combines magical realism with rich, imaginative prose to create a unique yet strangely relatable world.
