Cover Hints! A New Book is Coming!

Villain's Vacation cover What is it like?

Cover Hints! Wait, what’s the book? Secret Supers in Space. It’s the third book in my Secret Supers series (try saying that ten times fast) that started with:

Cover Hints

Jeremy Gentle fell flat on his face at therapy. That was normal since he had cerebral palsy. But his new superpower wasn’t normal.

Then things got weirder when his best friend, Dan Elanga, got a different superpower. But Dan was still blind.

Kayla Verdera and Aubrey Wilcosky, two girls in their middle-school special ed class, discovered they too had new superpowers. Kayla was mute and needed a walker. Aubrey lost two legs and used crutches. But they were as powerful as the boys.

What should the four friends do? Jeremy knew if the word got out, it’d be a media circus. Then they started fighting crime, as the Secret Supers. Who knew a disability could be a perfect disguise? No one would ever think of disabled kids as superheroes. Then they ran into problems they never expected.

Villain’s Vacation. Click to get your autographed copy!

Four disabled seventh-graders with superpowers take a vacation at Coaster World. They need a break from fighting criminals. Ever since the beginning of the school year when they acquired their unusual abilities, they’ve been training and using those powers to fight crime in their town.

Little do they know the arch-villain they recently defeated also loves coasters and is vacationing at Coaster World. Worse, the villain wants revenge. Nothing less than turning these teens to a life of crime will satisfy.

Can Jeremy, Dan, Kayla, and Aubrey withstand the villain’s attacks? Or will they become Super Villains?

You can only find out by reading the adventure ‘Villain’s Vacation’.

You’ll Love These Superheroes from my second series

Jeremy Gentle

You’ll Love These Superheroes – who are they? In order of their appearance:

Jeremy Gentle

Jeremy Gentle
Jeremy, seventh grade superhero

Jeremy’s a 12-year-old genius in 7th grade. Too bad he’s stuck in a disabled class with cerebral palsy and no girl would ever look at his skinny, twisted body. But he has a cool lab in his basement where he experiments with 25,000 volt surge of electricity–leading to his superpower.

His shares his story with his best friend, Dan Elanga.

Love These Superheroes – Dan Elanga

Love These Superheroes
Dan Elanga, the second Secret Super

Dan’s parents sold their business in Cameroon to come to America to give their blind son a better chance. Dan pestered Jeremy until he told him about his experiment–and Dan tried it. And got a different superpower.

Of course, the boys tried to hide their superpowers. But they failed to consider their fellow student–

Kayla Verdera – the smallest superhero

Kayla Verdera - Love These Superheroes
Kayla Verdera

Kayla’s a genius like Jeremy, but she’s not even five feet tall. She used to be on the cheerleading squad as the topmost girl–until she got spinal meningitis. Now she has to use a walker, and a voice app to talk. Plus she drools. In one swoop she fell from one of the in crowd to the out crowd, the disabled kids.

But she notices Jeremy and Dan hiding something and talking together, so she gets her friend Aubrey to ask them. They invite her over to Jeremy’s house. And she gets a completely different superpower.

Now her best friend has to go to Jeremy’s next. she’s–

Aubrey Wilcosky – The Talkingest Superhero

Love These Superheroes - Aubrey Wilcosky
Aubrey, super powered heroine.

With Aubrey, she talks first and thinks later. She’s as big as Dan and was a star on the softball team–until she lost her legs in a car accident. Undaunted, she plowed on in borrowed prosthetics, while struggling in school. Kayla helped her study and they became best friends. Now she gets Jeremy’s experimental ‘treatment’ and receives a unique superpowered gift.

So the four friends become superheroes. What next? Find out in:

Also available in print, and ebook. But wait to buy the ebook–it goes on sale for .99 on May 10th!

Love These Superheroes – in Their Next Book

I said this was a series. I also said Secret Supers goes on sale on Monday May 10th. So does the Villain’s Vacation ebook. Get it here, on May 10th, for .99.

What happens in Villain’s Vacation? The Secret Supers go to a coaster park for summer vacation. Too bad their worst enemy is also there–and out for revenge.

This blog tour covers all four books in my Life After Life Chronicles.

Your first jolt comes with Zombie Turkeys. Here’ part of the review for Dab of Darkness blog:

What a deliciously silly book! If you love zombies and comedy, this zombiedy story is for you. The whole premise of zombie turkeys is just so ludicrous it makes the whole tale funny, no matter how seriously the characters take their roles. Story is suitable for the whole family. Very little blood & guts, no swearing, sweet, innocent romance.

I really enjoyed the main characters, Sam and Lisa, who work for a small newspaper in Illinois. Sam is out for the real story, thoroughly enjoying his investigative reporting. Lisa runs the little newspaper with efficiency and soon she has the entire nation demanding their news reports. Zombie turkeys are a bad problem, for sure, but they have launched this small newspaper right into the big leagues.

Review of My Undead Mother-in-law

Once again we get to visit the lives of the fantastically droll Sam and Lisa as they adjust to the life after the zombie apocalypse starts settling down. Things aren’t going so well for them as there is only so much you can report on zombie turkeys, cows, squirrels and chickens. But never fear – something interesting is just around the corner for you. At the end of the first book (SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN’T LISTENED TO IT)

This is a great book to start with if you haven’t tried any Andy Zach book before. It contains stories from both his Life After Life zombie comedy series and his superhero story Super Secrets. It also shows you Zach’s sense of humor (plus there’s one little horror story that isn’t overly gruesome). This book is great for both kids and adults and works just fine on it’s own.
