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 clichés 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?

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and...

How to Write A Survivalist Character During The Apocalypse

Hello friends! It's been a while... The last two weeks have been kind of nuts. The entire world is freaking out, everything's been turned upside down. Last week was rough... I had wanted to write out a birthday blog post and do something special on here for turning 22, but then everything happened and I was too stressed and I forgot to write anything, so that's kind of a bummer. I guess I could do it this week, but I feel like something else is needed for this week. I was thinking I should write some meaningful, hope-filled blog post. Write about what's going on in the world... but then I realized, everyone is already doing that. Social media is saturated with hope-filled positivity. And don't get me wrong, that's great! It's needed right now. To be honest though, Sunday night and into Monday I was getting pretty fed up with all the positivity. I think I was just overwhelmed and stressed, but I got pretty bitter and told my mom I was sick of hearing all th...

Five Tips for Getting in the Writing Mood

Happy June everyone!! I am both excited and a little anxious for this month... Excited because the twenty one pilots concert is at the end of the month and because my college class starts at the end of the month too (while also being a little anxious about it as well haha). Honestly, I don't know why I'm feeling a little off about this month... Maybe just cuz it feels like there's going to be a lot going on... I have an over the phone adviser meeting tomorrow and am helping at my church's VBS from 8 to 3 Monday through Friday next week. It'll be good but it's still a little daunting to think about :o But anyways! There's been this weird trend going on right now in my life. Just in the past week I've watched several live videos and authortube videos and read blog posts (most all of them about pantsers or having to do with pantsers in some way) and they all have included, well, pantser stuff but also how to stay in a writing mood. No one has mentioned h...
