D.R. Rosier - 2019
    He also has his dream girl, and he’s absolutely smitten with the White Witch.Of course, there’s a lot of surprises in store, both in his personal and professional life. Which are about to get very complicated.The government is about to find out what happens when they try to overreach, when they try to control the uncontrollable. A threat that makes disgruntled ex-heroes look tame. If that wasn’t enough, he finds out from Oracle something even bigger is coming, soon, and he’d better be ready for it. Still, if he intends to save the world of supers, he had to live long enough to save Silver City first…Author’s Warning and Note: This is a Superhero Harem adventure, with mature themes, and is not suitable in any way, shape, or form, for children.

Cape of Cheer: Cape High Christmas II (Cape High Series)


R.J. Ross - 2019
    He’d known that negotiating for the Advent Calendar early was a good idea. The entire super world is chomping at the bit for feel-good news. Things tend to get… problematic the nearer people got to the holidays. Depression, frustration, and all sorts of other negative feelings are more obvious at this time, even among capes. Watching cute kids in super uniforms give hugs, well… “Unfortunately,” Mastermental says from the hologram next to him, “several capes from other branches flew in to get free hugs. They just didn’t bother to inform their hall leaders they were doing it, first.” Andre looks away, his shoulders shaking as he fights back laughter. “I see,” he says, regaining his composure. “I could see how that might be a problem.” “Adorable children hugging heroes is one thing, the Deadly Darlin’s hugging Cold Steel, Dragon, and trying to kidnap Gargoyle Girl, is another. Fortunately, they claimed she was too heavy to carry off, and gave up.” Andre looks away, again, this time a snort escaping him. “Thankfully, the norms are quite aware of how they are. They have quite a following here, I believe. But, since you are, essentially, the one that informed the other Halls of what is going on—“ “Our sister stations are paying quite well to play portions of our feed,” Andre says with a smile. “Yes, I am sure they are,” Mastermental says blandly. “But since the Hall leaders are not willing to take responsibility, or fill out several piles of paperwork over hugs, you will be slapped on the wrist and told, ah, I wrote this down…” he starts sorting through his papers, clearly faking it. “Here it is,” he says, pulling out a sticky note. “Please add a note for supers to inform local Hall leaders before hopping borders at the bottom of the screen.” “That’s all?” Andre asks, stunned. “Ah, yes, and ‘bad Andre.’”

He destroys whole cities, tens of thousands of lives, and puts even more pressure on the governments that are already living in a pressure cooker that could explode at any moment. He has some hard decisions if he’s to get through it, because sometimes the hardest thing a hero can do is wait…Author’s Warning and Note: This is a Superhero Harem adventure, with mature themes, and is not suitable in any way, shape, or form, for children. This third book finishes up the harem and polyamory aspects of the story, with fully explicit sex scenes.

J. Bennett - 2019
    Just another delightful day in Big Little City. As I huddle on the floor, I know I shouldn't complain. After all, the regular villain attacks keep the rent low, and the City Council even subsidizes the local college tuition. It's the only reason I can afford to get my degree.   The problem is that the heroes are better at showboating for the cameras than trying to save us hapless civilians. As if to make my point, a hero leaps through the window just above me. When the glass shower is over, I peek between my fingers and get an eyeful of glowing orange boots and a muscled body wrapped in the most highly modified suit that crypto currency can buy.   As I pick glass out of my hair, the hero bellows, "Worry not, young lady. Shine is here to save you!"    Ugh. Save your cheesy lines for a different damsel! Welcome to Big Little City, a semi-reality town where everyone who isn’t already a hero or a villain wants to become one. Well, almost everyone... Alice just needs to keep her head down, earn her college degree, and then she’ll finally be able to escape this crazy place and find a real job. Too bad a super scary villain just blew up the restaurant where she works and her paycheck along with it! Now Alice finds herself running low on funds and employment options. Her tuition bill is due, and the university doesn't take promises or tales of woe.   As luck would have it, one of the town’s most famous villains is holding henchmen auditions. The gig would earn Alice the money she needs; all she has to do is betray every instinct and play the "Fame Game" she despises.   Oh, and she’s also got to beat out the other competitors who might just kill for the limited henchmen spots.   Author J Bennett is back with a brand new, action-packed superhero series. With a keen social eye and her trademark wit, J Bennett weaves a story of a futuristic world where good and evil are both beholden to ratings. Is Alice willing to risk life, limb, and her integrity to land the role of a lifetime and the juicy paycheck it brings?   Find out why it's so much fun to root for the henchman!

Then Mom blew up the house and disappeared. Now she’s procured the Holy Namestone, the Key to Paradise. And everyone in the world will be happy to kill her to get their hands on it. Meet Trisha. She’s not quite a year older than Eclipse. She’s friendly, considerate, really good in school, athletic, does more than her share around the house. She’s also a persona. She has superspeed…an hour of housework in a minute. She flies, including from here to the next galaxy in an hour. She also has a bit of a problem with her parents. They always treat her with complete contempt, totally grounded her, and won’t say why. Her brother and sister are personas, too. Year-younger sister Janie is a budding world chess and go champion. She also reads minds, sees distant events, and can kill with a glance. Her twin brother Brian is incredibly good with tools, builds fantastic models from scratch, has a nearly unbreakable force field, and summons plasma beams that cut battleships in half. Eclipse is Volume 1 of the This Shining Sea series. Volume 2, Airy Castles All Ablaze, will be a major rewrite of my much older novel This Shining Sea. There will be a Volume 3, Of Breaking Waves, because Eclipse still needs to save Spindrift from having died.
