I hope everyone experiencing winter storms is staying safe and warm!

If your work is closed today like so many are in my neck of the woods, it might be a great time to curl up with a blanket and a free ebook!

Dear Hero is free on Amazon, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Hope and I would love for you to enjoy a rompy, humorous superhero rom com to hopefully bring you some joy in this dark winter.

What’s it about?

There’s an app for everything, even meeting a new nemesis.

Up-and-coming teen superhero Cortex is on top of the world— at least, until his villain dumps him. If he’s going to save his reputation, he needs a new villain to fight, and fast. Meanwhile, the villainous Vortex has once again gotten a little overeager and taken out a hero prematurely. Will any young hero be able to keep up with her?

Enter Meta-Match, a nemesis pairing site for heroes and villains. The two match right away, and after throwing punches at each other behind coffee shops, practicing their fight choreography, and hiring henchmen to do their bidding (mostly just getting them coffee), they realize they have a lot more in common than names that annoyingly rhyme.

But not everything in the superhero world is as it seems. Can a hero really trust a villain to do the right thing? And can a villain trust a hero not to screw them over? As darkness from the past threatens them both, they may need each other for the fight to come.

Told entirely through texts, transcriptions, and direct messages, this darkly humorous chat fiction rom-com goes behind the scenes of the superworld.
