Nikki Powergloves for Christmas!!

I did it!!! The first 4 books in my new Children's series, The Adventures of Nikki Powergloves, are out in time for Christmas!! That was a major goal of mine for the year, so I couldn't be happier that I made it, whew!! A special thanks to my cover artist, Tony Wilson, for helping me get there in the end :)

I had so much fun writing about the main character, a normal kid turned superhero, named Nikki Powergloves. These books are light, fun, and have good messages, and are perfect for kids aged 7-10 or advanced readers aged 4-6. So if you have kids, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, or friends in this age range, these four books would be a fun way of getting them to sit down and read some books that will test the furthest bounds of their imaginations. Right now, you can get the whole series in paperback for only $27 on Amazon, which qualifies you for free Supersaver shipping!! Or for those of you who know some technologically advanced young readers, you can get all 4 ebooks for only $10!

Now, without further ado, here are all the details and links to buy!

BOOK 1- Nikki Powergloves- A Hero is Born
Nikki Nickerson hates her name and her boring life as a nine-year-old in the small town of Cragglyville. That is, until she finds a disappearing path into a forest that is rumored to be haunted. At the end of the trail, she and her dog, Mr. Miyagi, find a beautiful treasure chest, standing ready for her to claim.

What does the chest contain? Gold? No. Diamonds? Nah. Money? Not even close. The chest contains twelve multi-colored gloves. Nikki’s disappointment quickly morphs into delight when she discovers that the gloves are much more than just a cheesy fashion accessory. You see, each pair of gloves gives her a different power, such as stopping time or super-strength.

With a little help from her best friend, Spencer Quick, Nikki Nickerson is transformed into Nikki Powergloves, crime-fighting superhero. But every hero needs a villain and she soon finds hers in the form of Jimmy Powerboots, a smug and misguided youth who uncovers a similar treasure and chooses to use his newfound powers for evil. Nikki must find a way to de-boot her arch nemesis and stop his maniacal plans.

BOOK 2- Nikki Powergloves and the Power Council
The adventure continues as Nikki Powergloves joins forces with the Power Council to take on the Power Outlaws in a showdown of super-cool superpowers that only the awesomest of kids can handle. Have your powergloves and powerboots ready as you read the stunning sequel to Nikki Powergloves- A Hero is Born.

BOOK 3- Nikki Powergloves and the Power Trappers
The adventure continues as Nikki Powergloves and her friends face off against a secret organization called STING and their army of Power Trappers, who are trying to capture all of the power kids. Can the Power Council prevail and rescue the power kids? Find out in the third installment of the Nikki Powergloves series!

BOOK 4- Nikki Powergloves and the Great Adventure
Nikki is back in action and on a quest to travel the world and beat both her friends and enemies in the Great Adventure. Who will be able to steal the leprechauns gold in Ireland, cover the Great Pyramids of Egypt in chocolate, and ride the biggest waves Hawaii has to offer? The winner of the Great Adventure might just rise to the top of the Power Rankings and get one step closer to discovering who the Power Creator really is.

So that's it, I hope you all get a chance to experience the thrill of flying, the magic of shooting fire from your fingertips, and the ridiculousness of Spencer's Super Sticky Glue during this holiday season!!!

Have safe and happy holidays with your families and as always, HAPPY READING!!

Prequels, alternative views, and new scenes give readers a chance to experience more than originally told.

And now for some teasers…

“Emily Jenkins, corrupting young men. What would people say?” He tutted at me and as if by magic, I spotted an elderly lady walking along the pavement, scrunching up her nose to stare at us. – Surprise Visitor (The Darkness Through the Light Series)

When I thought I might make her lips too swollen from my rough need of her, I pulled away. Those half-open dark eyes could’ve pulled me into Hell, and I would’ve gladly followed with a stupid smile on my face. - Jeremy’s Heart (Saga of the Setti)

Even when you know it’s the right thing to do, running away from home is never easy. They’re not good people. I can’t stay here anymore. – The Runaway-Tawni’s Story (The Dwellers Saga)

He smiled and my heart melted. One look like that and I second guessed every decision I made. – Rift (The Syrenka Series)

I had to entertain myself somehow, and being around these ridiculous humans made me homesick for a land I left centuries ago. – Human Resources (The Lelia Marx Novels)

This too shall pass. I mentally repeated it over and over, hoping Nathaniel’s injury wasn’t as bad as my crumbling heart made it out to be. – The Sound of Love (The Kindrily Series)

Perhaps the hardest thing to accept about one’s fate is that it can take years to unfold. But when it does, it’s worth every second, every breath, and every dream. – Fate (Annabelle’s Story)

After this post, I'm taking the day off! Why? To celebrate the release of my newest YA dystopian novel, The Sun Dwellers, the third book in the Dwellers Saga!!

To celebrate the launch, not only will I be gorging myself on my favorite foods all day, but all three ebooks in the series will be on sale for only $0.99 each for NOVEMBER 30TH ONLY! So please please please buy them today if you want to read this series, because you can get all three books for what it'll normally cost you to get one of them! Here are the links!

For those of you who have already read the first two books, get ready for another action-packed dystopian adventure with points of view from both Adele and Tristan. For the first time in the series, they'll be together for most of the book, too :) (Sorry for keeping them apart for so long!) More questions will be answered, like what has Tristan been hiding from Adele? and what brought Adele and Tristan together in the first place?

For those of you who haven't started the series yet, you are no longer my friends...just kidding, well mostly kidding ;) But in all seriousness, now is the perfect chance to get on board because you can read all three books in a row with no annoying waiting time in between books where the publisher tries to build up demand and excitement. And you can read all three for only $2.97 if you buy all three today.
