This is Jim Munroe's site. He wrote a book a liked (Angry Young Spaceman) and a book I really loved (Flyboy Action Figure Comes with Gasmask). Anyway, it's all about DIY book publishing and stuff. Check it out...and perhaps a link in the Self-Publishing section would be good?

Jared--
Great site, thanks! I'm going to put up a link on my website. And read Flyboy (which we have at my library).

I got an email from Jim today (I'd emailed him to tell him how much I liked Flyboy) & he said he liked the Forge. Pretty cool.

Damn, wasn't that a great book? I'd love to capture that kind of mood and spirit in a game session. Almost whimsical superhero fantasy grounded in harsh reality.
Or something.
Darn it, it was fun.

Oh man, yeah. The way everything, from sex to superpowers to cancer to insecurity, was handled with absolute mundanity, as if "all of this happens everyday". Which most of it does. It was just so (& I usually hate this word) real.

I haven't read it, but from your description it reminds me of a book I liked quite a bit when I read it back in high school, working as a student assistant in the school library, The Kryptonite Kid, by Joseph Torchia. Have you read it?
