Here's the blurb
Colin Cowsbotham. Tech Nerd. Virgin. Superhero.

Bleakwinter Farm was once a proud working-class estate. Now it’s a wasteland of crime, corruption, and fear — and Colin’s life is as small and grey as the streets around him. But when a mysterious stranger slips an envelope under his door, everything changes.
Drawn into a hidden war between gangsters and something far older, Colin finds himself apprenticed to a man who can do things that are simply impossible — and what’s more, Merl expects Colin will learn to fight back against the wickedness consuming his world.

But how can a boy who’s never won a fight, never kissed a girl, and barely believes in himself become a hero?

At times both funny and dark, heart-warming and human, Apprentice Superhero is a story about courage overcoming cowardice, the ordinary given the chance to become extraordinary.

You will find yourself rooting for Colin, who’s lived running and hiding, to take a leap into the unknown and risk his life being transformed.

One of a few ideas for covers, ads, social media etc

I've been working on a new cover for 'Entire and whole and perfect'. The original, which was created by a pro, captures the contrast between the peaceful village and the malevolence hiding in the woods, but it doesn't shout out 'Post-apocalyptic'. Any thoughts?

I've posted four more chapters from 'The start of the world' on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/
