I’m a little late telling you about this Kickstarter but I forgot to schedule this post and then ended up having a busy weekend.

The Kickstarter is for Bouncing Back by Amber Gabriel. It’s the second book she’s written for H.L. Burke’s superhero universe. If you backed the DOSA Files II & III Kickstarter you would have received her first book Stretched Thin as a Stretch goal.

Now, not in a short story; not in a novella! Snarky villain with a heart, Rubber Bandit, returns for a NEW full-length superhero novel by Amber Gabriel, presented by H.L. Burke.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dosafiles/a-new-superhero-novel-the-rubber-bandit-returns

The award-winning Supervillain Rehabilitation Project universe is sttttrettchinnnng out with a new full-length novel, written by author Amber Gabriel and presented by SVR Universe Creator, H.L. Burke.

Elam Bentley, aka the former Rubber Bandit, got his butt kicked in Refined, crashed into non-villain life via accidental acts of heroism in the DOSA Files Volumes I & II, and helmed his own solo adventure, going undercover in Stretched Thin.

Now he faces his biggest challenge: his own nature.

Can this former villain truly give up his life of crime? Will other heroes even accept him after all the bad he’s done in his life? And what is he going to do about his growing attraction for his new team leader, a stressed out hero and single mother who has every reason NOT to let him into her and her daughter’s life?

Be the first to get your hands on Bouncing Back, a fast-paced, funny, and heartfelt story about righting wrongs and finding redemption.

Kickstarter rewards will include signed copies, an early order of H.L. Burke’s next superhero romance, Conveniently Married to a Superhero, signed paperbacks, an epic sticker inspired by Ginger, the seizure alert dog featured in Bouncing Back, unique swag, and more.

Help us hit stretch goals and get Stretched Thin and Bouncing Back BOTH in awesome audio with narration by Realm Award Finalist Rena Gail.

Message from H.L. Burke:

The SVR Universe is my passion project, an interconnected world of diverse, loveable characters that allows me to tell stories of heroism, family, and hope. Bouncing Back continues this tradition, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Amber Gabriel and I are collaborating once again on BOUNCING BACK, a new Supervillain Rehabilitation Project Universe novel starring Elam Bentley, aka Rubber Bandit. Amber’s expanded Elam’s story, bringing him onto a superhero team where he must make amends for past crimes while learning to work as a hero.

Note: this is probably the most religious story in the universe so far. While faith elements have always been a part of the SVR stories, this one has an explicit faith journey and other religious elements.

Take me to the Kickstarter, NOW!

NEW RELEASE! The Supervillain’s Bodyguard. 

A funny, heartfelt new superhero romance that takes you cross-country on a race for survival. Featuring a brand new match-up, this time of a normie guy and a superpowered gal. 

ABOUT THE BOOK

 Even a supervillain needs a protector sometimes.

Recently separated from the US Army, Caspian “Cas” Knight is having a hard time readjusting to life in his small hometown. His plans are delayed when he’s called to a high school mentor’s funeral out of state. Bumping into his mentor’s daughter and having immediate sparks wasn’t what he planned for his weekend. Getting in between her and a group of attacking supervillains? Even less so.

Jael Wilder has spent years hiding her unwanted superpowers from forces on both sides of the law. Her powers are dangerous, and a recent surge of them cost her the one person who ever looked out for her. Now pursued by both government agents and criminal interests who want to use her as a weapon, she has one goal: find the scientist whose experiments turned her into a monster and make him feel the pain he caused her.

Thrown together, Jael and Cas take off on a cross country journey, fighting for survival. As they develop a tentative trust, and an even stronger attraction, Cas’s determination to keep her safe solidifies. However, with her uncontrollable powers making every touch potentially deadly, is a life together even possible? Or will their connection bring him only death?

 The Supervillain’s Bodyguard is the 8th book in the Superhero Romance Project series but features a new couple and can be read on its own.

Married to her high school crush who is a retired Marine, she spends her time writing, spoiling her cats, and supervising her two supervillains in training (aka her precocious daughters). 

Originally from Oregon, but currently living in a forest in West Virginia, she wilts without trees and doesn’t mind the rain. She is a fan of delicious flavor, a follower of the Light, and a believer in happily ever after.

Awards and an Invitation.

This has been the week of exciting news! First on Monday I got the news that my short story “Letting Off Steam,” is one of the finalist for the short audio category of the Realm Awards! This is the first time I’ve ever finalled. I am excited to see if I win the award but at the same time looking at the three finalists makes me want to point somethings out.

First thing I want to point out is that the entries list the narrator and the publisher of each submission. The author gets no mention. Anyway even though “Letting Off Steam” is listed under the name of the talented narrator Rena Gail. I promise that I wrote it.

The other thing to point out is that these are not all short stories.

Sing to Me of Rain, is a novella by E.B. Dawson and narrated by Lila-May Murdoch.

The Prophecy’s Chosen Heir, is a middle grade novel written and self-narrated by Trista Shaye.

My little steampunk superhero story is on the longer side of short but it’s still under ten thousand words. Make of this what you will.

The DOSA Files has two other finalists.

“Rethink” by H.L. Burke and “Playdate” by Jenelle Leann Schmidt both finalled in the short story category.

This little superhero anthology is really getting it’s time in the spotlight.

Today I got the Second Announcement:

Daisy Dunlap and the cartoon Carnival is one of the Reader’s Choice nominees. That means that you can help get it to the top by voting for it.

However there are some catches:

  • You can only vote once. Any duplicate entries will be disqualified.
  • Only vote for books you’ve read. Be fair to the authors.

  • What this means is that you need to create a free account in the RealmSphere (a social media platform where authors and readers can get together and discuss books, writing, or anything creative really.)

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT to back the DOSA Files kistarter!

The DOSA Files Kickstarter is fully funded!

But Frank the Robot still needs your help!

We are well into unlocking the stretch goals. And just like Pokémon—we want to catch them all.

Help Frank reach our stretch goals!

Unlocked stretch goals include:

  • An new SRV Universe Novella Written by one of the anthology authors.
  • A video call with multiple authors from the DOSA Files 1,2, and 3.
  • Exclusive chapter header Illustrations for both Anthologies.

The next stretch goal is Audiobooks but we need about $330 to reach it.

Why back the Kickstarter?

  • Wholesome superhero stories
  • New Preorder added for Game Changer the sequel to Game On.
  • Support indie authors
  • Written by amazing voices.
  • No AI art used.
  • If we reach the goal, the Audiobooks will be narrated by talented human narrator Rena Gail.
  • Four of the stories from the first anthology were long listed for the Realm Awards so you know the ones in Vol, 2 and 3 will be great.

Being Long Listed for an award just means you’ve moved on to round two where they whittle down the list even more. This is still a big deal because the Realm Awards is pretty competitive.

Oh did I mention that one of the four long listed stories was mine! I am trying not to get my hopes up but it’s so exciting. We’ll know soon who’s making it to the final round.

Back the Kickstarter Now!

To help more superhero stories become eligible for awards.

New Year, New Cat, New Life
Karen Eisenbrey

When a teenage supervillain confronts him on his methods, everything he felt so sure about is suddenly in question. Could a new feline companion be his path to redemption?

Hoaxed
Leiana Arwen
Being the youngest kid is hard enough, but when you’re also the only one who doesn’t have superpowers, it’s easy to get left behind. Desperate for her superhero brothers’ attention, young Jane comes up with the ultimate prank.

New Beginnings

When to his consternation, his team recruits not only a former supervillain but a supervillain who has Mason’s late brother’s exact powers, he further hides himself away. Can animal charmer Bethany convince him to give her, and maybe himself, another chance?

Sparked
H.L. Burke

Today is a day to celebrate not one but two new books being released into the world.

Book one is Original Thoughts by my writing friend, Elisabeth Warner. Original Thoughts is the third book in her Internet shutdown series.

I don’t want to share the burb from Book three because it will give you spoilers. So here’s the blurb for book one, In Real Life:

In 2100, America has its own Internet, and Lin’s only companions are her AI assistant, Tobi, and the hosts of the Nothing but News podcast keeping her up to date on what’s going on in the outside world. But when the Liberty party shuts down the Internet and arrests anyone with questionable social media activity, Lin moves back in with her parents to hide from the patrol officers. Hope is a far cry from her now.Until her ex-husband shows up.As a professional hacker, Don can delete Lin’s personal archive and wipe her slate clean, making her as good as dead. When she winds up in a place called the “Community,” Lin discovers that connection, and survival, are possible without the Internet.

My Inspiration for “Letting Off Steam.”

My story “Letting Off Steam” is a very fan service filled story filled with cameos from established SVR characters. But did you know it actually ties into another novel in the universe? Power Through is book three in the Supervillain Rescue Project. (The one with Marco on the cover.) From this book, I borrowed the setting, the villian, and of course Marco.

The truth: I just really wanted to write a story with Marco in it.

The more interesting version of the story behind the story:

As soon as Heidi mentioned that she wanted to open up her superhero universe to other authors, I knew I wanted to be included. I have read all the SVR books and had a wish list of all the things I wanted to know more about or include in a story.

I knew I was going to use Marco and an early draft actually had the story almost entirely from Marco’s POV. But once I realized that Violet was the more important of the characters I slowly took away Marco’s POV to make room for hers. But the more I wrote Violet, a.k.a. Valve, the more I figured out who she was and the more this became her story.

For Violet’s backstory, I took a cue from Stephen King. I always thought that Carrie was not a horror story but a superhero origin story in which the person chooses the wrong path. Why does Carrie become the villain? Because she has no support system or safe place to go. Her home life is just as bad as her school life.

So Violet also needed to have nowhere to go. Her dad hates sables and school is only survivable by pretending to not exist. There’s also the whole girls attacking her in the locker room thing too.

Next I needed a villain, and I needed one that would have a good reason to visit the abandoned steampunk park without knowing that someone was already living there. Who better than the man who used to use it as a lair. I also included Seth Wallace’s sister who appears in Captured by a Supervillain book three in the Supervillain Romance Project series, because I wanted the satisfaction of the two villains named Wallace actually interacting with each other.

But the real reason I wrote this story is — I really wanted to use the abandoned steampunk park as a base for a vigilante steampunk superhero.

My favorite part of the story was fleshing out the Jules Verne theme park. I went through the original descriptions and tried to make sure nothing I added contradicted them while also not repeating anything. After fleshing it out I really want to go there.

I used to work at an amusement park when I was younger. I pulled a lot of the feeling of walking through an empty park from that experience. Amusement parks are so different when you’re alone. They’re suddenly too big and too quiet and you feel so small walking through them.
