Here’s the set-up:

“I was driving east on the Eisenhower Expressway when the Teatime Anarchist dropped the Ashland Avenue overpass on top of me, using enough C4 to bring the whole southbound span down at once.”

Who wants to be a superhero?

Hope did, but she grew out of it. Which made her superhuman breakthrough in the Ashland Bombing, just before starting her freshman year at the University of Chicago, more than a little ironic.

And now she has some decisions to make. Given the code-name “Astra” and invited to join the Sentinels, Chicago’s premier super-team, will she take up the cape and mask and become a career superhero? Or will she get a handle on her new powers (super-strength has some serious drawbacks) and then get on with her life-plan?

In a world where superheroes join unions and have agents, and the strongest and most photogenic ones become literal supercelebrities, the temptation to become a cape is strong. But the price can be high—especially if you’re “outed” and lose the shield of your secret identity.

Becoming a sidekick puts the decision off for awhile, but Hope’s life is further complicated when The Teatime Anarchist, the supervillain responsible for the Ashland Bombing, takes an interest in her. Apparently as Astra, Hope is supposed to save the world. Or at least a significant part of it.

Book Two, Villains Inc., was released December 29th, 2011
Bite Me: Big Easy Nights (an Artemis adventure) will be available in mid-2012.

From the reviewers:

“If you love comic-book superheroes, you’ll love this.
“If you hate comic-book superheroes you’ll still love this!
“The author takes a tired genre graphic-novel superhero concept and transforms it into a very readable, thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable book that I cannot recommend highly enough.” – John Caterham

“Superhero fiction is so full of tropes that it’s nearly impossible to write something new. Wearing The Cape manages that heroic feat, being both a classic superhero story and a new take on the genre all at the same time.” — Selia (Portland, OR)

Lame Excuses, Revised Edition

Here’s the set-up:

Forty-year-old Emily Halley sits in a wheelchair, reflecting on her life that began in a short-order café in the early 1960’s. She shares her love for the café that provided everything she needed and demanded nothing from her.

As a young adult, she thrives as a culinary artist and finds a mentor, a lover, and a new life in the Sand Fort community. Her passion for food remains constant and comforts her. Emily’s lifestyle begins to affect her health at an early age. A misdiagnosed and ignored medical condition leads her to a tragic and unsatisfied end.

From the reviewers:

Ms. Wells’ presentation of the South is genteel and soulful… humorous yet sharp and keenly observant.

I felt as though I could smell and taste the food, see the artistry of the dishes, and experience the life of a chef.

The language, dialog and imagery take you back to a simpler time; a terrific escape to a world where happiness and pick-me-ups are one in the same.

From the Author:

I am pleased to present the Lame Excuses, Revised Edition. The characters in this story are typical of people I know in the rural South. Diseases related to food addiction have reached an all-time high and threaten the lives of many loved ones.
