We're back! Join us for a fascinating hour with Maurice Broaddus, recorded for Multiverse Convention. We discuss Afrofuturism + music, TV adaptations, the influence of comics, and how authors can live mission-driven lives.

Broaddus, Multiverse's 2020 Author Guest of Honor for 2020, is an award-winning author of speculative fiction ranging from middle-grade detective books (The Usual Suspects) to steampunk novels and novellas (Buffalo Soldier and Pimp My Airship) to urban fantasy (The Knights of Breton Court series), and hundreds of published short stories. Broaddus also has a new 3-book deal for a space opera at Tor, AND a TV adaptation in the works. On top of all that, he's extremely active in his community AND still finds time to collect comics (more than 20k issues so far)!

Find Maurice's books at IndieBound or Amazon.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
