Readers! This is Jack McGuigan, author of Nanoland and Dog Walker, writer of Agents of Paradox, former teen movie director. Someday, I will send these newsletters often enough that I don’t have to reintroduce myself, but my last email was in January of 2024, so not today, old friend. Not today.

I have a new book!

Before the park fell, the chaos came home.
Thirteen-year-old Mike Murray has a secret: his whole body is made of shape-shifting pixels. Convinced he's the lost son of visionary director Frank Nano, Mike rallies his friends to enter a filmmaking contest, using his powers to create special effects for their guerrilla superhero blockbuster. But production stalls when Sal Destro, a vengeful rival from Frank's past, crashes the set. Armed with a horde of mechanical apes, Sal turns their suburban shoot into a war zone, hell-bent on extracting the secrets of Mike's existence. Will Nanoman survive long enough to claim his legacy? Or will his life end up on the cutting room floor?

It’s a sequel to Nanoland, and also a prequel to Nanoland, in-continuity but very much its own thing. If you liked that, you’ll like this, and if you didn’t like that, you might like this anyway? Look, I don’t really know you that well. We haven’t talked since 2024. I was writing Nanoman!

Speaking of emerging from my hovel, I’ll be tabling at WindyCon in luxurious Rosemont, IL, October 9th-11th, with copies of all these books. Stop by my booth and receive a FREE Nanoland guidemap, available only at in-person events.

I’ll send another one of these out when that release day comes. Thanks!

Your friend in time,
Jack
