Some folks don’t know it, but Michael Bailey’s a recreational stage combat buff whose lanky flexible frame lets him affect a definitively Spider-Man-esque pose now and again.
It’s a good thing he’s only into the fake sword fighting, since he’s got enough reach to win most of the time in a real duel. (It’s also a practical reason to be friendly with him, though not the best reason.)
Bailey does more than affect superhero poses in his novel, ‘Action Figures’, the first-person tale of Carrie Hauser, new in town, freshly recovered from an identity crisis and keeping a lid on her new-won powers. Check out his work and his thoughts about the writing life at innsmouthlook.com.
