SUPERPOW! Coming your way at the end of October

Sep 16, 2014

RRPSuperpow_front_medThis is very exciting. I’ve always wanted to write a superhero story, but never found the right opportunity. Then, a little while ago, the wonderful K V Taylor, editor at Red Penny Papers, contacted me and said, “Hey, I’m putting together an anthology of superhero stories. Any chance you’d consider contributing?”

Well, yes. Yes, I would. And so I did. And now that anthology is almost upon us. It’s called SUPERPOW and it’ll be published in print and ebook on October 27th. Check out that sweet cover to the left. The cover artist is “Astro”, and her site is http://nogutsnoglory.tumblr.com/

Here’s the word from RPP and Table of Contents:

Bang, crash, pow!–oh, but there’s so much more to the superpowered characters these Red Penny Papers alumni have created in Superpow. Our cover heroes come from two new pulptastic superhero novellas from Corinne Duyvis’s Pantheress, one of the rogue heroes of Sigma City, and William Vitka’s Ruben, trying to make a new life in a world where everyone has ‘funny’ powers… except for him. And these two are just the beginning of the villains, heroes, and observers waiting in the pages of Superpow.

Table of Contents:

Masks of Sigma City – Corinne Duyvis
Leather Boy v. The Zombie Horde – Fox Lee
Birthplace Revisited – Edward Morris
Lighting Time and the Time of Thunder – Alexandra Seidel
Autumn of the Greatest – Alan Baxter
Free, Proud, Imbued with Liberty – John Medaille
Starlight – Milo James Fowler
Ice Child – Alexandra Seidel
Unsuper Translator – Louise Bohmer
Portrait of a Better Man – Jocelyn Adams
Bruiser – William Vitka

Superpow is the first and only fiction The Red Penny Papers has ever charged for, so apart from just being a gorgeous collection of superhero pulp short fiction and poetry, it’s a great way to help us a little around the house. It will be available in print and as an eBook on October 27, 2014. Watch this space for more!
