Self-published huh? Good luck. I wrote a novel, never got around to doing anything with it, though, it's been stuck in editing hell for a while. I'll have to keep an eye out, I like to support self-published stuff when I can, it's hard out there.

Well, I figure why not! I've spent a lot of time on it, and it might as well get it out there. If it makes thirty dollars, then it's thirty dollars I didn't have before, right? But then maybe...

As a guy who have thought about publishing some of my longer peices before(i have written two novel size stories) good luck to you.

Thank you!

Well, can you tell us what it's about at all? Beyond "a superheroine" of course, I think we can all guess that much.

Here's my description:

The epic first adventure of Earth's greatest hero! Bonnie Boring of Queens is a frustrated underachiever, working as a customer service girl at a big box store, but she is also secretly the mega-powered superhero Ms. Infinity! The whole world is threatened by Misery, a sociopathic shill of Ms. Infinity's despotic native planet. Our heroine takes off in her luxuriant Starship Infinity to face her. Coming along for the ride is "Handsome" Hal Holstein, fan of the heroine (and Bonnie's work crush.) But the mission proves to be much harder than the heroine ever dreamed. Secrets from her past haunt her, and behind the villain lie threats that challenge even the power of this greatest of heroes!

More can be said, of course. Ms. Infinity is, as my blurb suggest, extremely powerful. She and her mother (Betty Boring) are both refugees from a planet that has decended into tyrany. (Their names BTW are changed for life here on Earth, but you probably guessed that.) Mysteries about their past are in the background throughout, and there are flashbacks that gradually explain their relationships and Bonnie's adaptation of her alter-ego.

Though it is not a graphic novel, there will be several drawings by your humble author.

Bonnie Boring is an alien from a planet billions of light years from Earth. At the age of thirteen, Bonnie and her mother, Betty Boring, both arrived secretly on Earth as refugees, fleeing persecution from a despotic and severely patriarchal regime. Their names are adapted from their names in their native language, which does not use speech, and is imperceptible to humans.

Concerned about the consequences of an adolescent girl living amidst much weaker peers, Betty decided that Bonnie would hide her powers and live as a human. However she agreed to allow her to operate freely in private, and assured her that the day would come that she would find the appropriate use for her abilities. In the meantime, the main outlet for her powers would be the spaceship she and her mother arrived in, which they would keep on the dark side of the moon. She devoted years of her spare time to making large-scale improvements on the ship, eventually naming it “Starship Infinity.”

It was only after many years of growth, and much personal conflict, that Bonnie could operate in public with her mother’s blessing. Above all, Betty stresses the importance of respecting the people around her. She must always consider people with less power, the value of their opinions, and their contributions. Besides Betty, Bonnie’s learning was abetted by the example of her best friend Lisa Lin. Lisa was not only loyal to Bonnie, but was also unfailingly honest with her, and quite perceptive.

Using her power of shape shifting, Bonnie created the alter ego of Ms. Infinity. In creating her public persona, Bonnie was strongly influenced by the comic books that she collected voraciously. There is an element of hubris in the name “Ms. Infinity.” Though she has many superpowers, none of her abilities are truly infinite. No matter how “super” her abilities, nonetheless she has limits like anyone, and there are even some human skills where she does not particularly excel. She is also a living creature with all the basic needs, though her endurance allows her to delay them for a time. For instance, she can fly into space, however she cannot remain there indefinitely.
