We've reached Friday - hooray! And time for me to read you a bit. I may have had too much fun with this one, but who can resist a superhero story?  Super For You, Bad For Me by Asta Idonea Dreamspinner Press 14 August 2018 60k/200 pages MM/Fantasy/Superheroes Amazon (US) The Book Depository Barnes and Noble Kobo Struggling actor Oswell Outterridge thinks he’s hit the jackpot when he’s chosen to play a scene opposite his idol, Kane Teague, in a superhero movie. However, things take an unexpected turn when the slime he accidentally ingests gives him telekinetic powers. Then Kane asks him out, against all expectation, and it seems that life couldn't get any better—aside from the little matter of keeping his identity secret from his celebrity boyfriend. Oswell goes from a nobody with little social life and few prospects for the future to dating the man of his dreams and using his superhuman abilities to defend innocents. Everything is perfect, and it seems he’s finally achieved a happily ever after worthy of the silver screen. But when a supervillain arrives, determined to defeat Oswell and win Kane's affections, everything falls apart. In the ensuing conflict, Kane gets caught in the crossfire, and Oswell faces his toughest fight yet. Can he remain the hero he’s always imagined himself, or will a dark desire for vengeance change him forever? If you'd like to hear Asta Idonea read just the prologue in her own words (and lovely accent) you can find that here: Sound Cloud YouTube About The Author
