The third main character in Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel is a woman named Angela. She's also the supervillain Malevolence. A tricky character to write, it also made this song an interesting challenge for the same reason. Angela developed extremely strong telepathic powers that initially traumatized her enough for her to disassociate and form a new personality to control the powers.


That personality called herself Malevolence and this song is from her perspective not long after she came to be. The tie-in to the story is that she is Steve Hamilton(Crusader)'s ex-girlfriend. And she becomes Leia Hamilton's biological mother. This song is Malevolence's favorite music style: 90s goth rock. I wrote the lyrics and made the music/vocals using Suno A.I.

Steve Hamilton (The Crusader) is trying to make sense of his 20-something life, trying to balance odd jobs, a girlfriend, and being one of the leaders of The AR-MEN superhero team. His perspective is a variation of Sue(The Cat)'s. Ironically in his view, being a superhero is easier to deal with than "normal" life. This song's events occur before the time travel takes place in Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel. Steve likes 80s rock music, so that's the style of this one. I wrote the lyrics and made the music with Suno A.I.

Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel starts with 19-year-old Sue Sanchez (the superheroine called The Cat) in 1992. This is before the time travel takes place. She is an up-and-coming model who is secretly a member of The AR-MEN superhero team (thus the double life through the need for a secret identity). I wrote the lyrics for this song based on events in the book (which is complete, just needs edits and that may take a bit) and made the 1990s pop music and vocals with Suno A.I.

I’m going to be sharing some music I made recently to accompany a novel I’ll be releasing at some point. The manuscript for Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel is complete, it just needs editing, a cover, and other preparations. It’s a Christian fiction superhero time travel novel. Here’s the book trailer to introduce it.

One of the most profound scenes in Allen Steadham's Mindfire (A Christian fiction superhero thriller novel) is between the main character Leia's estranged parents. Her father was the superhero Crusader and her biological mother is the supervillain Malevolence (who hasn't been in their lives for 20 years). At one point, the two of them meet and are able to have a heartfelt talk. It's not romantic, just reminiscing without all the bitterness. They start to make real progress but then something gets in the way. Steadham wrote the lyrics to this song based on what happened in the book. He made the music and voices with Suno A.I.

I created the Black Fox superhero character in 1985 around the same time as the first (comic book) draft of the story that would become the Mindfire (Christian fiction superhero thriller) novel in 2019. Black Fox is Dana Fox, the co-founder of the AR-MEN superhero team with Crusader (Steve Hamilton, who would become Leia's father). She has fox powers that give her enhanced senses, speed, strength, and healing. After the AR-MEN superhero team disbanded, she remained the lone superhero of Digby, California while also raising a son. I wrote the lyrics for this song and made the music through Suno A.I.
