Hey Dramatica friends,
I wanted to announce that I finally published my first book! SECRET WAR, Book 1 of The Starfighter Club, launched this past weekend. It’s kind of “Star Wars meets Buffy” — modern-day college students pulled into a secret galactic war.
I need to give a HUGE thanks to this whole community, going all the way back to 2017 when I started the initial draft. Everyone here was a huge help to me in understanding Dramatica and applying the storyform concepts to my draft.
You can check the book out below, or on my website at michaellucasbooks.com. Books 2 and 3 are coming in February as well.
Oh, and feel free to share it with anyone who might be interested – spreading the word is super helpful for a new author. Thanks!
It’s funny Jim, I found these old blog posts of mine from way back when the Subtext app had an ‘e’ in it! It was the draft for this book/series that I was using Subtext for. (so warning: SPOILERS) Story Runner
Mentioned this to @mlucas over on the old Subtxt/Narrative First Discord, but I’d really like to find a way to better support writers who use the Dramatica platform in '26. I feel like there’s a unique opportunity as everyone here is clearly into great storytelling, and well-versed in a language that supports that intention.
If you have any thoughts, would love to hear them (as I hijack Michael’s thread!).

Looking forward to reading this one.
