My gaming group got into playing GURPS and we took a break from fantasy and did a campaign with supers. The idea spawned from a gaming session back in early 90’s.
It’s a very adult book with sex and violence and it’s a crazy over-the-top world, but it feels grounded. I wrote it because I wondered how a normal police detective would be able to live in such a world where anything is possible. The story also contains mysteries with hard-boiled characters that have difficulties with relationships. I hope this book appeals to people who like urban fantasy, science fiction genre. Who is your target audience? Who do you think would like this story? This leads to a web of lies and betrayal and Rick is tasked to find who, or what, is behind the violence, what they hope to gain and not get killed while do so. Rick and his partner notice that the supers, called Dexes (short for spandex), have significantly grown in number and something is strange with the known Dexes. While during the investigation, a full on street battle occurs in the city, a robbery gone wrong. The story centers on a police detective, Rick O’Shea, and he tracking a serial killer in a world where super powers exist. It exists as a standalone, but there are a lot of threads I can pull. What’s it about?ĭex Territory is the first of what I hope is going to be a long series. When you do this an engineer, things can go horribly wrong. It was nice to exercise the creative field. I took up writing as a sideline and frankly as an escape from the technical field. I work in telecommunications, but have had a long and varied employment in everything from retail clerk to submarine mechanic to cook to highly unpaid renaissance faire actor. I currently live in Georgia with my wife and a couple of rescue dogs.
My name is Mark Aberdeen, I’m originally from Connecticut, but have kicked around the planet a fair bit. Mark recently released his debut novel, Dex Territory, and he’s here to tell you about it (and you can click on the image to jump over to Amazon and buy it for the Kindle, or jump to the publisher link below, if it sounds like your kind of book).
We worked a particular renaissance faire together for a few years before life sent us in different directions, but in recent years we reconnected via Facebook.
