PG-rated nonstop comic book style adventure set in two universes, with plenty of super-powered battles and recognizable classic comic book scenarios—and some iffy romance thrown in.
This novel can be read as a stand-alone story. Other adventures in the Temporary Superheroine series are also stand-alone stories.
CHARACTERS IN THIS NOVEL:
Chloe Cole: Reluctant female superhero, possessor of superpowers, snarky 26-year-old with parent, career, and love life issues.
Diabolical Dave McCay: Maverick comic book artist, man who wants the modern world to be like it was in 1962, troublemaking genius who has access to great power.
Jason Dellon: Hollywood success story, entirely too focused on starting a personal relationship with his new young employee—Chloe.
Judy Anthony: Oscar-winning actress running for the presidency of the Screen Actors' League, she's campaigning for women's rights.
Michael Ellsworth: Studio head opposed to Judy Anthony and to women's rights, could he be the secret instigator of the Sad Clowns?
The Sad Clown Society: Supposedly Hollywood actors against Judy Anthony's campaign for women's rights. They disguise themselves as clowns and disrupt her speeches. Are they for real?
FBI Agent Shelly: He's the agent in charge of protecting Judy Anthony. Behind his stoic facade, what is he thinking? Whose side is he on?
Jovial Jerry Fine: Beloved elderly icon of the comic book world, benign but skeptical participant in fast-paced adventures, would any superhero story be complete without him?
The Temporary Superheroine series of novels all feature Chloe's super-powered adventures:
Book 1 Temporary Superheroine
Book 2 Crisis at Comicon
Book 3 Hollywood Superheroine
