First Look: Signal to Noise


by Charlie Irons
coming Fall 2012


The life of any idea can be a funny road from first inception to final completion. No where is that best illustrated, in my work, than with this little diddy.

The first twinkling of this story started nearly twenty years ago, in my freshman year in college (Wow, was it that long ago?!) as a comedy deconstruction of the super hero. Pretty standard fair for that time; they were common in movies, books, and such.

But there were too many little things missing to glue all the points of the story together. So back into the vaults it went, presumably never to be heard from, again.

Until that is, the upheaval of the 2008/9 market crash, and the rampant greed, social movements, and class warfare that has culminated in its wake.

In its rebirth into a political commentary piece, many things have changed. Will this be action packed? Sure. Will it be funny? At times.

But this story, like your Conductor, has something to say. So, all I can say for sure is, don't expect what you've come to expect from Neverland Transit Authority.

I hope to start this book later in 2012.
