Comic book character kills his author--and his reader might have to stop him. Join the battle by reading the book for a chance to win $100 inside every copy. Skye’s a comic book superhero with a gun in his hand and a gripe against his author. Every girl Skye’s ever dated is either dead or trying to take over the world, and in the series finale, Skye’s best friend kills him. Or so he thinks. The weapon meant to disintegrate Skye lands him in his author’s universe. With a shot at revenge. Skye, meet Jace. Jacen Howard’s a brilliant #blerd math whiz and comics aficionado–but at his West Baltimore high school that’s a bad thing, and if the bullying isn’t bad enough, Jace’s cop-father regularly pisses off the neighbors. Jace doesn’t see himself as a hero; he’s just trying to survive. Jace might be just the hero Skye needs. But Skye won’t open up when Jace tries to ease him out of PTSD, and the author’s still torturing his friends. As Skye’s mood swings and nightmares escalate, Jace realizes that if he doesn’t uncover his roommate’s real identity soon, Skye will hurt someone–and Skye’s still deciding if murder will save his world, or damn his soul.

Review:
Judge, 5th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published eBook Awards:
"Becoming Hero presents with an interesting choice for cover art. I believe it is fitting for the genre and garners interest. Over all the productionquality is quite good. I was really interested in the plot line here.The premise was quite unique. Just to think about the character having a beef (so to speak) with the author of his own book. That really made me smile. Jace and Skye really made my day! I felt that the pacing was atad slow in places--the book seemed a little long for this particulargenre. But, the book was so well edited and development that I reallydidn't mind the slower pacing. The book had unbelievably greatillustrations. So impressive! These just really made the book. Also, the author did a particularly great job of using realistic dialogue--this is a great skill. If I had to come up with some constructive criticism,I'd point out the overuse of exclamation points throughout--be sure notto overuse punctuation. Great book and a a stellar entry! I wish you the best of luck with this and your other writing endeavors. I hope to read more from this author in the future"
