Good vs evil. Which side are you on? If you had to choose, could you?
Seriously, who would choose the side of evil? Unless you
love to commit crimes. Each one grander in scale than the one before until
you’re stealing states secrets or holding the President of the United State
hostage. Maybe you can’t help but love to play mind games. Screw with people
until they are so confused they bend to your will. Some people are inherently
bad. Whether because of upbringing, circumstances, or they are hardwired that
way, their actions consistently create trouble.
If the thought of telling lies, breaking and entering,
hostile takeovers, makes sweat bead on your forehead then you can choose to
side with good. After all, you volunteer most of your spare time feeding the
poor, you donate a percentage of your income to research the cure for pediatric
cancer, and you never, ever tell a white lie. Right?
Let me make myself perfectly clear here. I don’t think the
choice between good and evil is simple. I think we all have a mix of angelic
habits and devilish delights within us, swirling together and fighting for
dominance.
That’s exactly what Jeff, Sandra, Source, Set and friends
discover in my young adult series, Super Villain Academy. Whether they
are super heroes or super villains, they are faced with circumstances that make
them question the side they’re on. And in the end, they’re compelled to make a
choice. Hero or villain? What would you choose? Hop over to my website and complete the survey.
The series is
complete! Super Bad, Super Villain Academy Bk 3 is now available.
The world is in chaos. Violence and thievery reign. And with
the supers still balanced, it’s only getting worse. Without good versus evil,
the supers care less and less. In order to restore purpose, the world needs its
super heroes and its super villains, but the one who balanced them in the first
place is missing.
Sandra’s concern over finding her brother, Jeff, isn’t her
only problem. Her pathetic excuse for super powers has left her needing a new
ankle. And though she’s still very much committed to her boyfriend, Source,
she’s growing unreasonably attracted to Set, the boy who double crossed Jeff by
stealing his girlfriend.
When Sandra is taken and held as bait by kids who want to
unbalance the super world, it becomes the inciting event that changes things
for supers everywhere and forces them to answer the question, “Hero or
villain?”
Available in print or electronic formats from:
King of Bad - Jeff Mean would rather set fires than
follow rules. He wears his bad boy image like a favorite old hoodie; until he
learns he has superpowers and is recruited by Super Villain Academy – where you
learn to be good at being bad. Is Jeff bad enough for SVA?
Polar Opposites -
Heroes and villains are balanced. After Oceanus is kidnapped, Jeff learns the
supers are so balanced, they no longer care to get involved. Ironically Jeff’s
superpowers are spiraling out of control. Will they find Oci before he looses
it completely, and will they find her alive?

Hi Diana,
Thanks for letting me share my series with your readers.
The idea of a super villain academy sounds fun.
