With Lost in Nightwalk done, I’ve turned to cleaning up Blink’s newest adventure. For a lark, I collected his earlier stories, and most of the other Skyscraper City stories, into an eBook for my mailing list members. (Not a member? Sign up quick!) Here’s a little blurb…
At age 13, Stevie Winkler is the youngest known super. Being able to teleport is cool, but keeping it a secret sucks. Professor Zero and some of Skyscraper City’s most famous superheroes are training him, but Blink finds the line between hero and villain isn’t always clear.
Blink has three goals as a teenage superhero: survive, keep Mom from finding out… and maybe get a girlfriend.
I’ve finished writing this adventure, and it’s going to run 20 episodes. This is a departure for me—before, I’d write the first few episodes and turn it loose. I was having so much trouble with the middle, though, that I thought I’d better finish the whole thing first.
Each episode will drop on Monday morning at 7am Eastern time (noon GMT). Having the entire thing done means I can focus on the next part. Update: if you want to catch up on Blink’s earlier adventures before this one starts:

Blink’s First Adventure
Comments on each episode are encouraged! Remember to check in each Monday to get the latest.
I want to thank Icy Sedgwick and Tony Noland, whose superhero stories inspired me to write my own. And special thanks to Catherine Russell, who beta-read this adventure and caught some issues. And +Angela Kulig, of course, for the cover art.

Oh yay! I liked the Blink stories you've posted already. It was fun and cute, and I want to read more.
ReplyDeleteSuperheroes unite! Congrats on the upcoming launch!
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember this character, will look forward to reading each instalment.
ReplyDeletePatricia, now you've got your chance… I did have fun writing this, even if I got stuck on it for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tony—let's hope Blink turns out to BE a hero in the end…
Helen, Blink's first adventures were earlier this year. I originally wanted to have this ready to go for summer, but I realized it's summer where you are, so it's all good!
