So if you read last week’s chapter, you might remember Whiz’s bacon was saved by the timely proximity of a mysterious unnamed hero in red leather, flying over Tampa Bay. What you didn’t know was that the character was actually a cameo appearance in tribute to a book by a friend of mine, Paul Batteiger.
The book was The Union of Heroes, a big damn loud superhero adventure that I was fortunate enough to read an early draft of. It stars the hero in red leather, Vanguard, who is recruited to join a group of heroes sponsored by rich industrialist hero The Steel Avenger. Their mission: to stop the evil Doctor Scorpio and his evil mutant minions. The book is full of adventure and humor and ass-kicking, along with an explicit sex scene or two.
Well, as coincidence would have it, Paul just happened to publish his book on Smashwords the same weekend that Van got his cameo in Hero Go Home. Keep in mind: these books don’t actually coexist in the same universe. But I thought it was a kick to drop a mention of Paul’s book in mine, and if you buy The Union of Heroes, you might find a mention or two of Digger’s adventures as well. The link is at the bottom of the post.
In other news, the Kindle page for Digger Breaks Through! is now live. It’s available through Amazon for the same price as the Smashwords version. I’m looking for the best deal I can get on hard copy publishing as well.
