Self portrait 2

Michael Valdez

I like making worlds, throwing wrenches in their works, and making characters pull out the wrench. Violently. I am a proud dork of multiple persuasions, including sci-fi, games, and anime.
Michael is the author of
A failed assassination leaves Saint Dastou alive and his world in turmoil. He and his friends are now in a fight against enemies that will test them in ways they could never have expected. The hand that feeds has been bitten, and it’s biting back.
Charlie Nodran owns Sinopia Property Management, a small, desirable realtor and territory scout based on a terraformed Mars. When he gets an insanely high buyout offer for the company, he knows refusal means being buried in a shallow red grave.
Gods induce immortality, creating champions meant to combat an “apocalypse" that they fear will destroy their realm.
The part-fairy, magically-talented Saed household runs a for-hire police service in a fantastical boiling pot metropolis. A family-friendly action-adventure.
The only man to refuse an offer of Grace, which grants power and influence to the recipient, is being hunted by an extra-dimensional demon, and must fight back with the help of his Graced friend and a giant, telepathic, angel hound.
The action-packed, anime-inspired bullsh*t continues. War has found the West, but not how the warmongers wanted it. Blackbrick’s citizenry rebels against society while new and returning characters risk everything for who and what they love.
Books Michael Recommends
I'm loving the attention to aesthetic details this project has to offer. It shows a ton of imagination, hard work, and thoughtfulness.
"After a surveillance culture has taken control over the galaxy, it’s up to an eclectic group of misfits from disparate corners of the cosmos to rediscover the forbidden concepts of life, love and liberty."
This is my book, obviously :). I'm just recommending because I haven't done that yet, which seems silly. There are six draft chapters available to read at about an 85% level of polish, plus three YouTube videos about the project. Check it! Out!

A really cool premise and introduction. Not to mention a memorable name!
The Other World League are watching us. Every choice we make. Every decision. Every dimension.
