As some of you may know, I've spent the last two years writing a Young Adult novel about teenagers with super-powers (gee, sounds familiar!).

Well, my novel, THE POWER CLUB, has just been published on Amazon Kindle.

Here's what it's about:

quote:
Damon looks like an ordinary kid . . . but he lives in the district.

He wants to make friends . . . but he lives in the district.

He lives in the district because he has a power, and the district has rules about using powers.

Where in the district can a kid learn to use his powers? In a Power Club. All Damon has to do is join a club . . . if they think his power is good enough!

But getting into the club is only the start. Becoming a hero is altogether different.

THE POWER CLUB would make a great stocking stuffer (do they do that anymore?) for the holidays!

So, check it out! You can read the first few chapters as a preview. If you like what you see, you can download it for only $2.99 or borrow it for free if you're a member of Amazon Prime. Be sure to leave a review. (The more reviews, the higher the book ranks on Amazon.)

...first rule of Power Club is: you do not talk about Power Club.

Seriously though, congrats! I'm going to give it a read! [Big Grin]

Congrats! I'll get it - but I wonder what defines a book as "young adult"? Vocabulary? Sex (or absence thereof)? Age of characters?

Well, I think you stuff the stocking with the Kindle. Either that, or it's a virtual stocking. [Big Grin]

As I understand it, the formats its available in are iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Kindle Fire, and Kindle Fire HD. I don't know enough about Nook to know if you can get it there or not.

But as I learn more about what the heck I'm doing, I'll make it available in other formats, too.

Young Adult is usually defined as appealing to readers from 12-18, but my experience (and the intent behind this book) is that such books usually appeal to older readers, as well.
