Super Hero Fantatic


Hey everyone! So since I've been feeling a little under the weather and I didn't get a post done for this week yet because I'm a big procrastinator this post is going to be sort of short but I hope you like it anyways.

For the last few months I've been living in a world of super heroes and powers thanks to my book Weapon Icean and now that I am finally satisfied with where the characters and plot are I'd like to share some of my favorite super hero books with you guys. So here they are:

  • The Renegade X Series by Chelsea M. Campbell featuring: The Rise of Renegade X, The Trials of Renegade X, and the latest The Betrayal of Renegade X
    All are awesome and full of the thoughts of a snarky and sarcastic half hero/half villain protagonist named Damien. Did I mention he has the power of flight and yet he has a huge phobia of heights?

  • V is for Villain by Peter Moore is about the son of a famous hero who, unlike his brother, is lacking in the power department until he realizes that he has telepathy, a banned power that no one is allowed to have or use or talk about. When he mixes with the wrong crowd he starts to realize that maybe the villains aren't the bad guys. Maybe the heroes are.
  • The Cloak Society by Jeremey Kraatz features a young super villain who's gown up a villain organization called The Cloak Society surrounded by the next generation of bad guys and trained by his evil villain parents. When he runs into a hero-to-be Kirby he realizes that maybe the heroes aren't so bad. Maybe the real bad guys are the people he's known and lived with his whole life.



  • The Vindico by Wesley King is about a group of teenagers who are kidnapped by a retired and older group of villains who want to train up and create a next generation to take their place. The kids are given powers and are thrown together to train all the while questioning if the villains are really the bad guys or they may just the good guys.

  • Illusive by Emily Lloyd-Jones isn't so much of a hero/villain story as it is about powered criminals trying to survive in a world that hates and fears them. Ciere is an illusionist and through a series of unfortunate events she ends up mixing it with the wrong side of the government and a group of extra dangerous, murderous super powered criminals.
Those are, sadly, the only super hero books I have read and come across that are really any good at all but I am hoping that the market for hero/villain books grow because honestly I can not get enough of them. Even if they are jam packed with clichƩs or stupid codenames I still will read it and probably love it.

What do you think of these books and the superhero genre in general?

March-May Wrap Up!

 Happy Tuesday!  So I had a March/April blog post all written out and forgot to post it! So here's a March-May recap! How has the last three months gone for you? March ended up being a really good month. I turned 25 and had a really great birthday I got to hang out with friends, watch some new shows and am almost done with the Throne of Glass series. April and May have also been really good months for me. God's blessed me in so many amazing ways over the past three months.  I feel bad that this blog has fallen so to the wayside for me. I used to post every week and be so excited and now I just really struggle to keep this updated. I'm starting to think it might be time to let this blog post unless I somehow get renewed motivation/inspiration for it.  March-May Writing:  March was a very good writing month. I just reached 65K in Immortal Circus #3, and despite a few small hiccups, it's been flowing really well. I'm enjoying getting to draft a book after spending ...

Turning 25!

 Happy Thursday!  At the end of February I was looking back at my wrap ups on my Instagram and on here and it almost made me start crying because of how far I've come. It made me stop and think about where I started my 20's versus where I am now. So much as changed and so much of it for the better. Just looking back at the pictures and wrap ups I've done over the past year, I feel like I'm thriving. I'm at a place I honestly didn't think I'd ever get to and maybe that was just me being dramatic or living in on and off depression for so many years, but it makes me tear up and so thankful to see how far I've come since 20.  At 20 I had a best friend I thought I would still be best friends with when I turned 25. I had him and two other friends at 20 and that was it. I don't even remember what church we were at five years ago, but it wasn't the church we're at now and I know I definitely was not thriving there. I felt so behind everyone else my a...

A Goodbye to The Archive Series

Happy Friday!  The final book of The Archive Series comes out next Tuesday. This has been almost three years in the making and I don't know what to say to properly say goodbye.  I started this series in December 2019 with Golden Touch. The idea had been sparked by me watching The Road to El Dorado and having a desire to write a treasure hunt story for most of December. Little did I know that the story of a girl finding a boy with a Midas touch up in the mountains to help her family with their money issues would turn into a five book series and be a huge part of my life for the next few years. I also had no idea that that series would get me through one of the hardest years - 2020. Honestly, God knew what 2020 would be like and He knew I was going to need a story and characters that would make me happy, give me joy and focus on during that very hard year. And for me, that was Amaya and Darren and this whole series.  I poured a lot of myself and my story into Amaya and Darr...
