Thank you!! Hope it lives up to expectations.

"Morphenomenal" is the definitive retrospective of the No. 1 kids show of the 1990s, which spawned a global franchise that's generated:

• More than 900 episodes!
• Three feature-length films
• Billions in merchandising and licensing revenue (I've contributed a bit, myself 😅)
• And so much more!

It's the first — and based on how hard it was to get a publisher on board, likely only — unauthorized book written by an independent journalist (and lifelong fan) about the history of Power Rangers, its impact on pop culture, and how it has evolved to survive and thrive across three decades of TV.

Preordered! Hoping these dropping days before my b-day (5/17) will have me feeling like it’s May ‘93-‘95 all over again!

Thank you!!! I'd forgotten about that YA novel coming out — didn't realize it was the same week as mine, now! That's so cool. (I have it pre-ordered as well haha.)

alwaysbenwright.bsky.social•22 days ago

Am I correct in thinking the YA is the first non-adaptation of an episode(s) or movie(s) novel in the franchise?

joshuamoore.com•22 days ago

Y'know, I'm not sure? I know during the Saban Brands days there were some youth-oriented books, but IDK if those were adapted episodes or conceived as originals.

The road to this book's greenlighting was laughably similar to Power Rangers' own journey. It took nearly a year-and-a-half to get an agent to bite, and from there several major publishers scoffed at the idea.

I can't thank enough my agent, Mark Falkin, and Applause Books for seeing the vision.

Whether you're a diehard fan who's been there since day one, a Disney-era baby, someone who "grew out of" the franchise, or just generally interested in TV history, I think you'll love this book.

Let the publishing world know how mighty Ranger Nation is!

Seems like it really did get delayed after all... At least it's sooner than august. Wish i could help add to the preorder numbers, but i still don't want a physical copy...

joshuamoore.com•20 days ago

Good news: there will be an e-book, but it won't list on Amazon and elsewhere until closer to publication date, and possibly a little bit after (my publisher is in the midst of a transition to a larger company, so there's a little bit of uncertainty on timing of things; like the book itself haha).

sundownshannomenon.bsky.social•20 days ago

I imagined that was the case, but confirmation is good!

joshuamoore.com•20 days ago

Still waiting on an answer about that! Sorry.

bluebaronbbb.bsky.social•22 days ago

I'm hoping JYB does the audiobook? 🙏

joshuamoore.com•22 days ago

Still sorting out if there will be one (I'm hopeful, though). There IS a former PR actor who's interested in reading for it, though I can't say that it's JYB.

Bryan Cranston, got it.
