Welcome to And the Quest for Stories, where I both examine stories and contribute my own.
This publication has four distinct sections: the main commentary (the “Home” tab), my original serialized fiction (the “Terrific” tab), occasional standalone fiction (“Other Fiction”), and the new “Rewatch” tab. Subscribers can adjust their account settings to receive only the section(s) they want to receive. All new posts are free to read.
For just a bit about me, as well as the general publishing schedule, check out the About page. For navigation information, see below!

These articles explore various books, comic books, movies, and TV shows. Click on the links below to sort the articles by category. (Many posts span multiple categories.)
Terrific
This is my original superhero prose series—where I put my money where my mouth is, basically. The serialized stories concluded in July 2026, and the final book was published in August 2026.
Series index:
The ‘Terrific’ Reading Order
Welcome to Olympus City, where super-powers, physics-defying tech, and unearthly creatures are all possible now. Human nature, however, remains unchanged.
About the series:
A ‘Terrific’ New Series
Superheroes work best in a combination of short and long stories—episodic adventures as well as ongoing sagas. The smaller stories humanize the characters so that we care about them when they’re trying to save the world.
Announcement of the final book’s release:
‘The Green Shadow’ Has Landed
Welcome to And the Quest for Pop Culture, where I explore various movies, TV shows, books, and comics … and occasionally discuss my own work, as I’m doing today. Looking for a different topic or original fiction? Check out the navigation page.
Other Fiction
These can be play scripts, short stories, even a short comic book story, and possibly more in time. This section publishes infrequently, and I’ve got just a handful of stories there so far.
Rewatch
The newest section, this is where I review classic TV shows season by season or episode by episode. So far, the focus has been Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and The X-Files, but other series may follow. This section publishes about once a month or so.
You can find the rewatch articles here.

Thank you!
The commentary is all free to read, and the only posts currently paywalled are most of the serialized Terrific stories that have since been collected into books.
Thank you for taking the time to read and explore!
