To Start Out 2013
Okay I am still working on my next book in the Reboot Files series, but I'm going to be posting a little novelette on my personal blog, Short Mysteries and Tall Tales, and by popular demand, well one person, The Cozy Mystery Magazine starting next week. I'm splitting it up into chapters and will post one a week.
It's going to be a superhero story. Hey! It's a tall tale. It counts!
So why a superhero story? Well back in the day I was a major comic book geek. That’s right, I was absolutely obsessed with them for a few years. Then I got older, they got out of my price range, they started crossing story lines into so many different titles you didn't know what was going on (did I mention they got really expensive?), and the story lines got way too dark and disturbing for my taste.
Also I moved, didn't want to move them, so I gave it up for mysteries which I could check out at the library before the ereader was even out. This was a long time ago.
Anyway, at the time, like any comic book lover, I made up my own super characters and stories. Warning! I cannot draw worth beans so do not expect any illustrations. Anyway, I decided to dust one of hem off, make a proper story out it and post it.
Is it good? Well I think so, but I wrote it so I don't count. This is just for fun, and I hope whoever comes by likes it.
So what's it about? Well it's all takes place in an America where superheroes are common, of course, where this one particular family who are all superheroes resides. All except that is for the first born daughter who didn't inherit any superpowers. This is kind of embarrassing all the way around. Especially as her younger superpowered sister could whip her behind very easily, if there wasn’t a super rule against it of course.
Well one day, out of the blue, this loan normal person in a family of extraordinary people suddenly has superpowers. And she didn't even get bitten by a radioactive anything!
So that should make everyone happy right?
Well there's just one problem, she can't tell anybody about it except an ex-supervillain she goes to church with. Why?
Well, that's the story.
See you next week!

Intreging. I remember your comic book days well. I thought it was silly at the time, but then Clayton got way into them and I used to tell him to talk to you about it (of course, he was "too shy"). Because you loved the "X-Men" and he was way into "Wolverine". I've never cared for either, but between the two of you I got a general idea of what was going on. Well, I got more of an idea of Wolverine because I lived with Clayton when he went through that phase and my son always shared his "passions" with me. In detail, and with a "read this Mom!"
