AUTHOR INTERVIEW:

How did you become a novelist?

I actually worked in television for 15 years producing and writing an outdoor adventure show called At Your Leisure. I'd produced literally hundreds of scripts and shot countless hours of programming. When I needed a break, I'd write Paper Heroes. After a while it became obvious where my attention needed to be focused, so I left television behind and jumped face-first into publishing. It's been a hell of an adventure, with plenty of ups and downs, but at the end of the day, this is where I need to be.

Why did you choose to write a serious and compelling superhero book?

I don't like easy answers. After reading comics since I was 9-years-old I found too many easy outs and not enough consequence. 'Paper Heroes' took all of the ideas I had about heroism, cynicism, and the hard choices we have to make in life and threw them together in one grounded story. I love when I find myself asking what I would do in a character's circumstances, how I might do things differently, and that's what I've done here. I want people to not only question Stewart Mitchell's choices, but question what they would do in his place. Would they risk everything or just go along for the ride? Those are the stories I love.

Is 'Paper Heroes' just for superhero or comic book fans?

No way. I wrote this story to be the antithesis of comic books and the rehashed stories we hear over and over again. Paper Heroes is for EVERYONE. If you love superheroes, you'll LOVE Paper Heroes. If you're sick of superheroes and want something new, you'll LOVE 'Paper Heroes.'
