Devil's MarionetteDevil's Marionette
by Maurice Broaddus

Now Available from Shroud Publishing

"There are fewer greater pleasures in a reader's life than witnessing a writer whose work they have enjoyed reached a new plateau in their storytelling skills, and such is the case here; with the Devil's Marionette, Maurice Broaddus comes into his own as a writer of dark fiction. It is the brilliance we've all been waiting for, and Broaddus delivers in a voice that both whispers and roars and cannot be ignored."

— Bram Stoker and International Horror Guild Award-winner Gary A. Braunbeck, author of Mr. Hands, Destinations Unknown, and Coffin County

JustLife.tv interviewed me
for their podcast Wired for Relationships:
"In this episode we talk about friendship and the impact it has in a marriage context. Maurice Broaddus brought a unique spin to the conversation. We talked about the tug and pull in friendship, what we want in a friendship, and how we develop a friendship over time."

JustLife.tv also interviewed me for their podcast Keyboard Courage (Part I and Part II): "Maurice was back for a two part podcast on friendship and technology. If you're reading this, you're using some of the technology we talk about in this podcast.  We considered the role of technology in creating community and/or false community.  It was a lively discussion that turned into two podcasts."

Children's Mixed Heritage
is available for download from The Storyteller

This essay is part of a series on creative applications of story in peacemaking, healing, bridge building and reconciliation processes in groups and communities around the world."

... Still Available ... What Would Sipowicz Do? Race, Rights and Redemption in NYPD Blue - Edited by Glenn Yeffeth

"Taking an entertaining, intelligent look at the culturally influential 11-year television run of NYPD Blue, this examination includes a collection of essays on topics ranging from the series' portrayal of race relations in New York City to Sipowicz's famously thorny demeanor. A media critic, two police psychologists, and addiction, interrogation, and sex experts contribute essays that take an accessible, intelligent look at a show that has redefined the police drama genre. From insightful analysis of the show's evolution to lighthearted jabs at its quirks, this is a work that will deepen any fan's Blue experience." Just released and I have two chapters in this one. Available at your local book shop.
