Buried Treasure

Overview: T. Mike McCurley lives in a suburb of Oklahoma City, occasionally banging out superhero prose on a battered laptop. His stories of the Emergence - a worldwide explosion of metahumanity beginning in 1963 with a scared little girl - were first published online beginning in 2004. From them came the character of Francis Drake, an Emerged cop born in the form of a humanoid dragon. The stories of Firedrake first saw light online in 2008 and spanned numerous chapters. Smaller, unaffiliated short stories have been published on various sites.
