Superhero Reading

I’ve got more superhero books available than any other genre of books I’ve published! Check out all the possibilities.

Heroes of Necessity is my collection of women becoming unlikely superheroes. All four of the women in this collection have powers, but only one of them would consider herself a superhero (and she considers herself more of a sidekick). This collection is all about women seeing problems that need to be solved and figuring out how to do so!

Sparx and Arrows is my first collection of Cobalt City stories, featuring Kara Sparx and three different iterations of the Huntsman, including the two eras in which a woman wore the mantle of the Huntsman–during the late nineteenth century and shortly after the end of World War II, when the stories featuring those characters are set. The rest of the stories are modern, featuring Kara teaming up with the modern Huntsman, her robot Lumien, and … herself? It’s complicated.

Coast to Coast Stars is my second collection of Cobalt City stories, introducing the sister city of Cerulean City, California. These stories feature reluctant hero Gray Dawn in the modern era, along with a flashback story to when she was just pop diva Cassidy Sweet. The other stories involve several of the Cerulean City heroes and villains introduced in the Cassidy Sweet story!

Avatar of Freya is my third collection of Cobalt City stories, this one featuring Friday Jones (Dulcamara), who is the avatar of Freya. She teams up with some of her college classmates, including Lizzie (Electric Girl) and Janella (Johnny Turbo), but also meets and teams up with a new hero, Evan (Terra Firma). Dulcamara is a fun character to write, and I anticipate more adventures for her and Terra!

Finally, I have a superhero novella, Sure Shot in Las Capas: The Case of the Absent Star. It takes place in Cerulean City, but it features one of the female iterations of the Huntsman from Sparx and Arrows working as a private investigator in Las Capas, a neighborhood of Cerulean City.

All of my superhero books are teen appropriate, with light language use, but fairly mild violence and no explicit sexual situations. Most are available in print or ebook, while Heroes of Necessity and Avatar of Freya are only in ebook format.
