Advent Days 6 through 11 – You can sample my other series.

If you’ve been following my posts, you know I meant to publish a post every day of Advent and give you something–but I missed this week due to COVID. So I owe six gifts. Let me give them to you now.

The week that wasn’t restarts with my Secret Supers series. I could describe it, but let’s start with a brand new review instead:

Disabled Middle School Superheroes

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023

It is a captivating tale that defies conventional superhero narratives. The author, with keen insight, weaves a story around four friends who turn their disabilities into extraordinary strengths.
The seamless integration of disability and superpowers challenges societal norms, making the story not just entertaining but also thought-provoking.
The author skillfully balances action, emotion, and humor, creating a narrative that engages readers of all ages. The message of resilience, unity, and embracing differences resonates throughout the book.

This book is a delightful read that not only entertains but also prompts reflection on the true meaning of strength and heroism.

In this sequel to Secret Supers, Jeremy has been experimenting on his hamster. As a result, Dancer has learned how to read, and is reading everything he can to learn about the human world. When Jeremy discovers this, he gets Dancer one of his old cell phones so Dancer can text the group.

As for the superhero business, the group needs some downtime and goes on vacation to Coaster World. What they don’t realize is that the villain they defeated also loves roller coasters and wants revenge against the Secret Supers.

Will the Secret Supers be able to defeat the villain and enjoy their vacation, or are their crime-fighting days numbered?

Secret Supers in Space

The Secret Supers are bored out of their minds during summer vacation-until they go to Space Camp. They learn all about the space program, try out moon gravity and zero-g simulations, and practice docking with the International Space Station.

But that’s the easy part. The villains they defeated in the past are back with a diabolical plot that renders the middle schoolers’ superpowers ineffective. Jeremy, Aubrey, Dan, and Kayla face the biggest challenge of their lives. Even if they escape the villains’ clutches, will they survive?

Right below!

Free Excerpt from Villain’s Vacation – Chapter 1 – Dancer


How fascinating! This book says there are libraries where
hundreds of books live. It also says the fiction books are in
order by author name.
Dancer scurried off Your Sixth Year Reader to look at
Jeremy Gentle’s bookshelf again. Jeremy was Dancer’s owner
and unknowing educator. Ever since he’d taught himself to read
by studying the newspapers lining the bottom of his cage,
Dancer had craved reading.

He hadn’t figured out why he’d started reading. One day
Dancer had noticed patterns in the markings. He saw they
repeated themselves in clumps which then formed more
patterns. Then he started listening to his owners differently.

They also spoke in patterns. “Jeremy” was always called “Jeremy” or “Jeremy Gentle” by his mother and sometimes by
his father.

Dancer had learned to understand Jeremy and his parents, and then he’d put the terms they said with the clumps on the paper. Each letter had a sound, and together they formed clumps his master called “words.” The idea was brilliant. No wonder they were his owners and he was only a hamster.

Excerpt Chapter 1 Part 2 – Your Last Gift Today


Dancer read each paper eagerly to the point of memorizing it, but reading started to bore him. Jeremy only changed the lining about once a week. So he’d watched Jeremy open and close his cage door. Then he copied the motion, using his paws and nose. He left to search for more words to read.

Dancer found a treasure trove. This bookshelf was one of six in the lower level of his master’s big cage. Dancer decided to explore upstairs when he finished the books down here. He wasn’t even done with this shelf yet. The books he read so far were Jeremy’s old schoolbooks, all marked up by Jeremy. Dancer could smell Jeremy’s scent on them. He’d learned about books called “fiction,” which were stories humans invented. Humans organized fiction by author,
not topic, like nonfiction. Now, he’d look for these fiction books.

He scanned the shelf above the schoolbooks. Some of the hardbacks had names on the binding. Those were the authors. Wells, Yellen, Zach. That was alphabetical—maybe these were fiction books. He climbed to the second shelf and pulled the Zach one—Zombie Turkeys—out of its place.

Soon he so was engrossed, he hardly heard the front door open. Jeremy was home! Dancer had to get back in his cage.
Using his paws and mouth, he jammed the Your Sixth Year Reader and Zombie Turkeys back onto the shelf and scampered across Jeremy’s lab. He shinnied up the table leg to his cage, flipped the sliding door up with his nose, and squeezed in.

New November Reviews For You – SciFi and Fantasy

New November Reviews For You – SciFi and Fantasy – I just curated these for you. I’ll bet at least one of these books will appeal to you.

Here’s a review you’ll only find here, since the book is only on RoyalRoad.com, not Amazon or Goodreads.com. The good news is that the book is free!

Five-year-old Nadia has Hobson’s choice: become a slave to malevolent Elven Mage Morvilind and have him heal her dying brother; or have her brother die and become orphaned as the only remaining member of her family.

Nadia saves her brother’s life and begins arduous training as a thief for the mage. He sends her to get magical and historic artifacts for his collection. Her failure would mean her brother dies, as well as herself.

Then comes the greatest challenge of all–stealing a magical tablet from a billionaire. What’s worse, there’s another mysterious agent prowling around as well. And he has no shadow.

On to the good stuff! If you’ve seen Poultrtgeist: Night of the Chicken Dead or Thankskilling and liked them, you’ll LOVE this. The sarcasm is there, the humor is dark and twisted, and our killer Tom Turkey wakes up every day feeling great and ready to see who he can kill in the state of Illinois with his massive flock of wild and domesticated zombie turkeys.

I loved this book. The end is a bit predictable given the fact that it’s a series, but it’s definitely the predictable you’d expect from something like this. I think this book would make a great low-budget movie like the two I mentioned earlier; and let’s be realistic, thanksgiving is a pretty much open holiday in the book and movie business.

I give this book 4 of 5 Paws and I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

I enjoyed The Big Easy novella enough that I was disappointed when it ended. But on the other hand, it didn’t seem to have the same stakes and tension the other novels in the series had. So I rated it as an Average, three-star apocalyptic fantasy.

I consider RPG novels as fantasies since they involve magic.

My rating scale:
5 stars = best of the genre, still selling after 50 years.
4 stars = above average for the genre
3 stars = average for the genre
2 stars = below average for the genre
1 star = execrable, not worth reading.

Andy Zack is my favorite author!

November 11, 2023

I met Andy Zack at ChambanaCon several years ago. I walked by his sales table looking for something to read in the hotel room. The title “Zombie Turkeys” caught my eye so I bought a copy. I read it and found him to be so interesting that I sought him out again and we talked about the setting of that book. He knew all the places that I knew and described them accurately. I then bought all his new books as they came out, and I am now one of his biggest fans! I hope he keeps writing because I brag about him to my friends and family, and I want to add to my Life After Life and Secret Supers collections! I’ll buy everything he ever writes!

Your Second Secret Supers Thanksgiving Surprise – A New Excerpt

Enjoy this excerpt where Jeremy informs his friends they’re going to Space Camp:

Chapter 1 icon

I glanced at my screen clock. “Ten thirty. I can call Kayla, but Aubrey’s at her summer baseball practice.” I speed-dialed Kayla.

“You don’t have to put her on speakerphone. I can read her mind.”

I laughed. “You read my mind. I was ready to do that.”

Hello, Jeremy. Kayla’s voice sounded in my mind. Kayla had spinal meningitis and could no longer talk or walk without a walker. I felt sad when I heard her high mental voice, sounding just as she used to talk before losing it.

“Hi, Kayla. I’ve got big news for you and Aubrey: the Secret Supers are going to Space Camp!”

Sounds like fun. I assume it’s all paid for and our parents are on board?

 “Right. I researched it, then my parents contacted yours, Dan’s, and Aubrey’s, and everyone agreed. Just now, I applied and got approval. We’ll be gone for a week.”

When?

“The last week in August, just before Labor Day.”

A New Excerpt, Part 2

Now I have something to look forward to, instead of another sweltering day. How long does it last?

“A week. We arrive on the last Sunday of the month and leave on Friday.”

Is Dan there?

“Yeah, I’m here Kayla.” Dan leaned over my shoulder.

“How’d you know, Kayla? Dan snuck up on me as I was applying to the camp online. Are you mind reading now as well as sending thoughts?”

No, just sending, like always. I just know you, Jeremy. You don’t give up secrets until you have to. I figured Dan would be there. He sees you about every day. Say, where is this Space Camp?

“Huntsville, Alabama. We’re driving down there the day before in our big van. It’ll take us about twelve hours, dad said.”

I suppose you want me to tell Aubrey. I’ll give her the message to come over to our Secret Supers room, and we’ll all surprise her when she comes in.

“Great idea, Kayla!” I grinned.

Dan’s head snapped up from the phone and then he leaned back down. “You can tell her now. Her practice was canceled because of a thunderstorm. Boy, is she grumpy!”
