Hero Complex: Book One: Hero, Second-Class
Hero Complex is my first stab at writing a novel. Published by Marcher Lord Press in October 2008, HC:H2C is a fantasy satire novel, combining the multitudinous cliches found in the Fantasy genre and making fun of them all at once. From dragons who hear spelling and punctuation mistakes, to Heroes who narrate their combat as they fight, to Horse Insurance, Hero Complex promises to be a good deal of fun. If I do say so myself. |

More to come?
Well, as with most of today's Fantasy Fiction, I haven't told the whole story in the first book. There will be more as long as the Marcher Lord will put up with me. I plan at least a sequel, possibly turning it into a trilogy. I've received a lot of support from friends and family on this project, so I shall continue until either I finish it, or my brain dissolves into an amorphous mass of an unknown substance bearing strong chemical resemblance to Silly Putty. |

About Me
My name is Mitchell Bonds, hence the site name. As of March 2, 2008, I have reached the physical age of twenty years. I have spent a year at Hillsdale College, taken courses at North Idaho College, and am currently enrolled at the University of Idaho.
I have been creating the fantasy world that HC is set in since I was ten years old. I mostly developed it by playing a ridiculously overwrought fantasy game I made up as my friends and I went. Dubbed "Backyard RPG," it was a source of constant merriment for six or seven years. After I put away such childish things, I began to miss them, and decided to write a short story that incorporated the spirit of what I had lost.
Needless to say, it didn't turn out so short, and now someone is paying me to publish it. Funny how things like that work out...
My hobbies besides writing include photography, random pencil drawings, racquetball, and experimentation with stunt-kites. I've also been known to indulge in a video game from time to time, and enjoy a good fantasy role-play of any sort.
After graduating from the University of Idaho, I will be joining the U.S. Air Force, specializing in broadcasting and public relations. And of course, I'll continue writing, because that is what I love. |
