I’m Mr. Broaddus by day/Professor Broaddus by night: a couple of my middle schoolers shadow me as I write or meet with other creatives (while they work on their stories); I’m teaching an MFA class at Butler University; and *former* middle school students help out!

People have been asking about what all comics I was reading when putting together Black Panther: T'Challa Declassified aka my excuse to show my research work (though Christopher Priest, Reginald Hudlin, and Ta-Nehisi Coates informed much of the work).

In case you were wondering what it’s like raising my sons, I was trying to say something profound (as I remember it) and my youngest took my camera and snapped this picture saying “just so you know, this is my view of you.” #shortestinfamily #happyfathersday

Looks like this is public knowledge now: I will be teaching an intensive 5-week fiction workshop for MFA students at Butler University this summer. The workshop will focus on horror, sci fi, and fantasy genres (with an eye toward getting published). I’m having a blast putting together my curriculum.

Yuuuuup. I like my publisher very much, and also, every contract with them to date comes with stuff my agent has to say "nice try, but no" to. Their fiduciary duty is to retain as many rights as possible; ours is the same. Thus: negotiation.

When elf assassins, undead addicts, and rampaging elementals emerge to threaten the neighborhood King calls home, he has to bring together an unlikely team to defend it. Think of it as "The Wire" meets "Excalibur" set in Indianapolis.
