Superhero Separation: Read it here

Okay, as many of you know, I have written stories before that have appeared on Hubpages. I hope you liked Dungeon Crackers, and I have a new one for you called Superhero Separation.

I hope you like this one. I will warn you, it was painful to write. Even though it is about one of my favorite subjects, superheroes, it is also about divorce.

It is not necessarily pretty, but it is pretty informative. Anyway, here it is:

Superhero Separation, Chapter 1: The Troubles Begin

Superhero Separation, Chapter 2: The Television Broadcast

Superhero Separation, Chapter 3: The Formal Announcement

Superhero Separation, Chapter 4: Prison Break-in

Superhero Separation, Chapter 5: Katrina’s Plan

Superhero Separation, Chapter 6: After the Breakout

Superhero Separation, Chapter 7: Battle at the North Pole

Superhero Separation, Chapter 8: In the Giant Drill

Superhero Separation, Chapter 9: The End of My World

Dungeon Crackers is here!

Okay, you are probably asking what Dungeon Crackers is? Or should I say what Dungeon Crackers are?

Well, you know how in most fantasy stories the band of adventurers goes into these dungeons (for lack of a better word) and encounter traps, monsters, and what not?

Wouldn’t it just be easier to just break in, Ocean’s 11 or Mission Impossible style?

That is essentially what this story is about. This is probably the first story that I wrote wherein I had no idea how it would end when it was finished.

Enjoy this one. Just click on a chapter below.

Chapter 1: Entering the Dungeon

Chapter 2: Facing the Minotaur

Chapter 3: To slay a dragon, unconventionally

Chapter 4: Assembly of the Elders

Chapter 5: Meeting with the Client

The Messengers Series, Book 1: World’s Apart, Chapter 32

Today is the conclusion. I realize that this is Memorial Day, and it is actually appropriate, because there is a memorial in this chapter.

Now that the first book is over, I’m sure you are all wondering: when is the second book? That is an excellent question. It is written, but it needs a serious edit. It is also a lot longer, like twice as long as the first.

I’m hoping to have it out by July or August, but don’t quote me on that one.

If you missed a chapter or two or three, then you should head to the ever-updating index here.

Anyway, the chapter is after the jump.
