Batman
The origin of Batman, which was not revealed to readers until the character’s seventh comic book appearance, is now a familiar tale. As prosperous physician Thomas Wayne, his wife, Martha, and their young son, Bruce, exited a Gotham City movie house after a nighttime showing of The Mark of Zorro, they were robbed by a thief brandishing a pistol. Dr. Wayne attempted to protect his wife, but the panicky gunman murdered the adult Waynes as their horrified son watched. The grief-stricken boy dedicated his existence to avenging his parents’ murders by “spending the rest of my life warring on all criminals.” After years of training his mind and body to perfection—Bruce, having inherited his father’s millions—mulled over a crime-fighting disguise that would terrorize lawbreakers. A bat flapping through an open window was deemed an omen, and the original tale’s end caption heralded, “And thus is born this weird avenger of the dark...this avenger of evil. The Batman.”

Darkest Vow
The following is a teaser chapter from my Kindle eBook - Darkest Vow. Chapter 1 Radiating streaks of light broke through the tattered aluminum blinds. At first, they were faint, but as each passing minute crept closer and closer to another bitter unfulfilling day, the intensity rose in a crest not diminished by the scant protection the blinds offered. I rolled over, letting my body free itself from the sweat-stained sheets while my head buried itself in the folds of the pillowcase like an ostrich seeking the succor of darkness within an earthen hole.
