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 can also get the book at Amazon by clicking here.

The Making of Zombie Turkeys Book Covers

The Zombie Turkeys Book Covers

I’ve had more positive comments for Zombie Turkeys book covers than for my book!  And my book is great! But just about everyone loves the covers, especially the front cover. I thought writing about how we made the Zombie Turkeys book covers would be interesting to my readers.

I’ve chatted with long time authors at Chabanacon and they too loved the cover. When I told them how we did it, they were envious that I as a self-published author had the freedom to do whatever I wished. Those who go through established publishing companies do not have complete control over their covers.

I’ve also talked with other self-published authors, who did make their own covers. These indie authors also loved Zombie Turkeys cover. They had purchased or made their artwork for their covers. They wished they had access to a professional artist, like I did.
