About the Book
Scheduled to arrive at the vacation hideaway this week:
• Captain Sunray: Flying? Check. Hyper-strength? Yup. Unharmable? You know it. Hasn’t called Queen Midas for the past 2 months? Yeah, what’s up with that?
• Queen Midas: Able to change any substance into any element. But can she change Captain Sunray back into boyfriend material?
• Puma: Acrobat, martial artist, master strategist, and snappy dresser. Will his scheme win Queen Midas’s heart?
• TripLiCate: One woman with three separate bodies, and many wardrobe issues. Can she find one guy who can keep up with her?
• Spectrum: Can see through anything — and anybody. But seeing what’s right in front of him? Not so much.
• Mentax: Powerful robot from another planet. Does TripLiCate reciprocate his crush on her?
• Delta: Dude of a thousand faces. But can he find one that appeals to Valkyra?
• Valkyra: Sword-wielding warrior maiden. How long until she catches and disembowels Delta?
• Doctor Mysterium: Spell-wielding supernatural sorcerer. Can he stay sober long enough to rescue Lady Melisander?
• Amanda Worthington: Clever impostor aiming to expose all the supes’ secrets in the pages of the lurid tabloid she works for. Is that too much to ask?
About the Author
Ed DeJesus is originally from Rhode Island. He recognized at a young age that he wanted to be Superman, a career choice that hasn’t really worked out.
He received a Ph.D. in theoretical physics — for reasons he’s still not clear on — but enjoyed his courses in Shakespeare more. His first job out of college was writing software to keep submarines from bumping into things. He has taught math and science at colleges in Tennessee and Massachusetts, and analyzed data from Soviet missile tests, which is every bit as scary as it sounds.
He’s published short stories in magazines including Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (one nominated for an Edgar), Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine, The Leading Edge, Café Irreal, Fables, and Lunch Reads.
He has also published six non-fiction books and hundreds of magazine articles on science, computers, and other technical topics. A former editor of BYTE Magazine, he wrote the cover story of the very last issue, which he chooses not to view as cause and effect.
He currently works as a technical writer in the Boston area.
