Try not looking at my face (yes, I really hate pics of myself, especially when I take the picture myself, and especially-especially after a full day of running my hands through my hair while attempting to think editing thoughts). Just look at the shiny book! The author copies arrived yesterday, and I promptly sat myself down and read. And read. And read some more. Yes, I read much of the ebook version, but there is something so much more ‘real’ about reading a dead-tree version of a book, especially one with your name inside.
What’s it about? Glad you asked! From the back cover:
Sidekicks. We know them, and we ignore them. They sit courtside, they wait in the shadows, they ride on the coattails. They have nothing to offer.
Or do they?
Heroes and heroines perform world shaking deeds, but sidekicks? Sidekicks are the unseen glue holding those powerhouses together. They are the backbones. They are the voices of reason.
It’s long past time for them to shine.
Here, the fangirls, the trusted associates, the loyal assistants, and the imperiled wards have their moment in the spotlight. Join them as they shake up the world in unexpected and understated ways.
Let the heroes sit this one out.
Celebrate the Sidekick!
Because this anthology contains a story of mine, I’m allowed an “Author’s Page” on Goodreads. (more squeeing!) I’m still figuring out life there, but Author Pages look like a fun place be. There’s a giveaway of Sidekicks! scheduled by the publisher. It runs March 13-17, so if you’d like in on that, head on over and sign up. And please, please, please...if you read the book, will you rate it? I’m not asking you to automatically give 5 stars (unless, well, you really LOVE it that much), but I am asking for an honest opinion and rating. Thanks!
