“SWITCH and Blue Eagle” — MG / YA superheroes — Available on Kindle Unlimited
What if saving the world was easier than pleasing your father?
What if the criminal underworld had absolute control over your family?
A superhero sidekick’s and a supervillain henchman’s answers to these questions will decide the fate of the world.
Welcome to Herald City….where legends wear capes, villains never rest, and the fate of the world hangs on every battle.
Switch the Blue Eaglet is the son and teen sidekick of Blue Eagle, one of Herald City’s top superheroes. But being a sidekick isn’t all glory. Switch is tired of living in his father’s shadow, tired of his strict rules, and tired of being told he’ll never be strong enough to stand on his own.
Jasper Clemens is just another faceless villain henchman. All he wants is to get out of the criminal business. But his debts to the mob keep piling up, and he's stuck taking the riskiest jobs in order to protect his family.
When a dangerous supervillain launches her deadliest scheme yet, it’s up to Switch and Jasper to stop her. Can Switch prove to the world he’s more than just a sidekick? Does Jasper have what it takes to be a true hero?
Or is Herald City doomed?
Perfect for fans of coming-of-age superhero tales, this short novel delivers action, heart, and a fresh twist on what it really means to be a hero.
