  • Note: While these are a series, each is a stand-alone novel. You aren't required to buy the entire list to get a complete story. However, they work much like a TV series, and gain more and more depth as you go....
  • Note: If you don't own a Kindle or Nook, there are FREE apps for nearly all phones/tablets/computers - I have links on the lower right of this page to the FREE apps. Amazon is quirky in that you need to either own a Kindle or have their app installed on at least one device before you can buy Kindle books, but it's worth it (and free)!

H.E.R.O. - Metamorphosis

H.E.R.O. – Metamorphosis follows the story of three people - Stephanie, Lance, and Rael. They find they are changed into supers, along with others in Metrocity, when a meteor shower unleashes radiation above the city. The friends discover that they become a psychic, a brick, and a mutant. They must cope with the changes to their everyday life, friends and college as they discover the new powers at their disposal. In the midst of trying to become heroes and dealing with the changes to their normal lives, a mutant villain captures many new supers in a bid to build an army for herself.

The H.E.R.O. series is a new supers universe of heroes and villains. As a novel-based story forum, it allows for deeper character development than that of a comic book or graphic novel based story.

At the current point in the universe, supers have existed for about twenty five years. The H.E.R.O. organization – the Homeland Extraordinary Response Organization – allows for a loosely operated environment for the heroes to operate without being vigilantes.

The common super types include Psychics, Blasters, Bricks and Mutants, although some crossover occurs in unusual individuals. Psychics generally gain mental powers, such as telepathy, telekinesis, or emotional powers. Blasters have the ability to generate or control an element or waveform, such as light, electricity, or heat. Bricks are the strongmen of the world, having massive strength and bodies that can sustain immense damage. Mutants appear less human in appearance due to the addition of blades, tentacles, fins, wings, tails, and more to their bodies, and are between a brick and the others in physical strength.

H.E.R.O. - Metamorphosis is a full length novel with approximately 122,210 words.
