Astēr was once a rising hero, a powerful superhuman in a world where her kind is hunted and feared. Born with extraordinary abilities, she was destined to protect her city-until a devastating mistake shattered her life and turned her into a fugitive. Now captured and imprisoned by a ruthless criminal organization, Astēr must find a way to escape before her captors can exploit her powers.
But her enemies are far more dangerous than she imagined. Astēr must harness her strength, outsmart her captors, and confront the darker parts of herself before it's too late.
In a world where superhumans are a dying breed, Astēr must decide if she can still be the hero she once aspired to be-or if survival means embracing something far more dangerous.

Podcast of a Teenage Super-Villian
THIS BOOK TAKES PLACE AFTER 'BLOG OF A TEENAGE SUPERHERO'. You don't have to read that book first to understand the events that unfold in this one, but this story will spoil all the major plot twists in BoaTS. *** What makes a supervillain? After escaping prison, ex-supervillain Masquerade is on the run from the city he used to love. But the past, in the form of a boy he hurt and a superhero who saved him, won't let him go. He thinks if he joins the organization that wants to destroy "mutated monsters" like himself and the supers he used to terrorize, then maybe he can be made human again. Flawed logic, sure, but Masquerade would do anything to escape the person he's become. But when this organization takes their agenda a step too far, resulting in a tragedy far too close, Masquerade has got to choose: to be the person he's learned to be, or to fight back. *** COMPLETEComplete

Children of the Elements: Our Beginning
"Superpowers are from comic books and films. Are you seriously suggesting that they want to give us superpowers when they don't even exist?" In 2006, the installment of the first batch of Superhumans failed on a colossal scale, with no successes across the globe and hundreds dead and wasted. But now, 7 years later, it's time for a win. For the unlucky four chosen by the government for the latest concoction of superpowers, they will be forced into a world they've only ever dreamed about in films and stories, chosen to fight for their freedom and realise that the lives they always complained about is the life that they've always wanted.

(#1) Roommates by Day, Enemies by Night
WARNING: CONTAINING AMOUNTS OF SASS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO MANKIND In the city of NYC--- Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel! Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind. Fangirl out.Complete
