Writing the Caribbean Superhero Novel

for Stan Lee, December 28, 1922-November 12, 2018.  Nuff respect.  Nuff said.

MY WIFE CALLS my novel And Sometimes They Fly “the Caribbean superhero book.” That’s how she referred to it the fifteen years I spent writing it, though its starting point became clear to me after the events of 9/11. Before you think she was mistaking magic realism or speculative fiction fantasy for something else, no, And Sometimes They Fly really does deal with heroes, legends and myth building in the context of Barbados and comics.
