This was a bad idea that somehow… worked?
Long ago, I had this crazy idea. Well, a challenge, really. Could I write an unapologetic narcissistic, smart-@$$ jerk villain… as the protagonist? What started as a joke to myself, became an award-winning book series that, for the life of me I don’t know how, has a lot of fans. Well, no accounting for taste ;-)
The SHADOW MASTER SAGA is a genre-hopping, 4th wall breaking, tongue-in-cheek deconstruction series starring Jackson Blackwell, the universe's first villain advisor and the titular Shadow Master. Each fast-paced novel allows Jackson to flex his powers, skills, and wits as he exploits the rules, points out the respective genre's flaws, and undermines godly authority to win the day. All the while laughing at the expense of our beloved tropes.
