Learning How To Be A Hero #1
Learning How to Fly
If he wants to be a superhero, he has to learn how to fly…
Nelson Eberly didn’t think it could get any worse for his career as a superhero.
He has to take Remedial Flying and learn how to fly or lose his superhero license and join the Weather Bureau.
But a class in remedial flying is just the beginning of his problems.
His girlfriend thinks he’s self-obsessed, and his mom won’t get off his case about not living up to the family legacy of being a superhero.
When Nelson is framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent to the Defining Center of Adjustments, everything Nelson thinks he knows about being a superhero will be challenged by the sinister duo Director G and Pretty Boy.
Does Nelson have what it takes to be a superhero?
Can he learn how to fly?
If Nelson can’t get his act as a superhero together and realize that what makes a hero isn’t the costume the hero wears, but the actions the hero takes, he might lose more than his career as a superhero.
He might lose his life and everyone important to him.
You’ll love this superhero fiction adventure, because everyone loves an underdog story.

September 18, 2019Tbh, I am only half way through this book, however, yet, I become more intrigued with each page. I’ve always been a superhero fan since early childhood like most fans and my inner child has not left and Ime glad. I am a methodical person@One thing I find unique about the story is there being a actual school for superheroes with does exist, such as in X-men, but it’s still a rare and how methodology and some physics of super powers are discussed even if some of methodology and physics may or may not be fictional. I feel Taylor’s story stimulates the reader’s creative mind to comtemplate what may be non fictionally plausible in non fiction reality if one advances enough. I also feel Taylor has weaved this component and the character building lessons well, as far as I have gotten in the book, and Ime presently with childlike excitement of what the ending will be!

Great story about superheros and superpowers. Really enjoyed reading it. I must say this is one of the most well written stories of the genre I have ever read and I have read a lot! Highly recommended!

April 7, 2021An excerpt from Learning How to Fly
I’m stepping out of my door when I hear the phone ring. I momentarily debate answering it, but I’m already late to class and whoever’s calling can leave a message. And let’s face it, this class in particular, is really important. I don’t want to be late.
Why don’t I want to be late? I’ve got mandatory flying lessons because I’m not good in the air. I have an image to uphold as a superhero, a responsibility I take seriously, and not always being able to fly, well it’s a problem for the Superhero Bureau (also known as the SHB). They’ve told me that if I don’t get my act together with the flying they might have to take away my superhero license, maybe put me in the weather bureau or find some other use for my abilities.
The SHB has a rule book it enforces religiously when it comes to being a superhero, and one of those rules is that if you’re a hero you have to be able to fly. Nothing quite makes a dramatic entrance like a hero flying in to save the day and the SHB wants us to not just be heroes, but actually look the part too.
