And now comes…
Hello! Welcome to the first Story Genie of 2024! I hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday and New Year’s. I am excited for this year as I begin sending out longer stories broken up into chapters via the magic of serialization! I have three different series I’ll be writing and posting throughout the year. The first story in the first series kicks off next week. I will then alternate between installments of those series throughout the year with each taking between 1-3 months to complete. They are all pulp-inspired with elements bordering on weird. Below you’ll find a brief description of each series along with a rough schedule of when the chapters will be released. The schedule for the first story is fully set with subsequent story dates not set in stone.
Series 1: The Adventures of Runner Ramirez
Reginald “Runner” Ramirez is a wandering veteran of the Great War with a very strange secret…he’s possessed with a runaway (and reformed) demon! This ‘friend’ pushes Runner around the country during the 1920’s toward bizarre and supernatural problems that only he can solve. With a little help from an unholy power source of course!
Story 1: RUNNER RAMIREZ & THE RACETRACK FROM HELL
Runner is drawn to Pompano Beach Florida where he stumbles upon a supernatural conspiracy involving an overly large horse track, gangsters, speakeasies, and pure evil! This story will be told in 12 chapters.

See how it all begins! Pulsar the parrot is the right hand (or wing) bird for an infamous space pirate crew.

Series 3: Muck & Drizor, Barbarians at Large

When these two opposites find themselves wandering the wilds of their world together, they seek to help those in need, no matter how bizarre or strange the situation. Hopefully they can do so without killing each other first! Or more accurately, without Drizor killing Muck!
Story 1: MUCK & DRIZOR: THE BEGINNING
When an unknown evil steals the amulets that magically protect their respective villages, cowardly Muck and brave Drizor unwillingly join forces to track down the thieves and save the day!
Will most likely release in November 2024.
