Synopsis

Objects in Motion Twenty years ago, the hero Glorybeam and the villain Blacktime fought. The aftermath leveled twenty city blocks, killed thousands, and orphaned hundreds. Neither of them have ever faced any consequences. Isaac Hartson was one of those orphans. As a nominal-class metahuman – a dreg – he knows that he’ll never be able to hold them accountable by force, but years as a janitor have taught him the value of simple plans and hard work. But once set in motion, events stay in motion, and in Star City there is always someone with an angle. Isaac will need more than just hard work and a simple plan to keep from being buried under the tide of consequences he’s created. You can find Book One of Objects in Motion on Amazon and Audible ! Objects in Motion is a street-level superhero story with some light progression elements.  The initial idea for it was "what if you give a thinker character a brawler power?" It has since moved beyond. There will be three books, each of somewhere in the realm of 20 chapters apiece. Chapters are ~5000 words, every Friday at 5PM EST. Join our Discord!
