Yesterday S Hero

Small-town boy Luke Binelli could hit a baseball, and he could hit it hard. That one skill would open up a world he could have never imagined; a world of big money, beautiful women, and fast cars. Luke would soon learn that his lifestyle did not come without a price. In an attempt to make his dreams a reality, Luke is drawn into the sordid world of drug smugglers and con artists. 'Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.' St. Thomas Aquinas

Another day, another zombie T-Rex to put down. All part of the routine for Arthur Wallace and MI37—the government department devoted to defending Britain from threats magical, supernatural, extraterrestrial, and generally odd. But a zombie T-Rex is only the first of Arthur’s problems, as Russian cyborg wizards threaten his life, and his coworkers threaten his sanity.

High atop the Fortress of Liberty...The life of a super-hero is not all it's cracked up to be. Just ask Wyatt Ferral, one of the city's cape-wearing favorite sons. For one thing, he can't stand the other heroes, and is starting to see that they aren't especially heroic. Plus, he's forced to wear stupid looking spandex costumes, and his unauthorized biographies are filled with glaring inaccuracies. Heroing is so isolating. Some days, he just wants to walk away from it all and have a real life. All it would take is one personal tragedy to push him over the edge...Meanwhile at the Consortium of Chaos...The life of a super-villain is a blast, just ask the super-villainess known as "Harlot." Just because you're dedicated to evil doesn't mean you can't have a little fun, right? So, when the almost forgotten hero Wyatt Ferral walks into the Consortium's headquarters one day and says that he has a plan, she's intrigued. Can Wyatt help their troubled organization finally succeed in one of their world domination schemes? Can she keep her fellow villains from killing the handsome hero long enough to hear what he has to say? Will he see the subtle but important distinction between collecting his memorabilia and stalking him? Was his Hero swimsuit calendar photoshopped, or do his abs actually really look like that? So many important questions...

Shero is the pride of SSH (Society of Super Heroes). Not only is he one of their best fighters, he's also the best dressed (in dresses and heels of course.) But when V.I.L.E. (Villains In League with Evil) plants the seeds of doubt and hate for Shero in the minds of the citizens, Shero is placed on inactive duty. But when SSH finds its back against a wall, Shero saves their hide from the shadows...a true hero.Shero is the most unlikely of heroes on the surface. But once you get to know the man behind the mascara you understand that heros come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and genders. The Shero series offers up a humorous look into the world of super heroes, cross dressers, as well as human nature. With a narrator who is just as happy mouthing off as he/she is describing to the reader the action of the book, you will find yourself laughing at the situation, the attitude, and maybe even yourself.Caution: You may find yourself yelling "You go girl!" which could certainly lead to public humiliation. You've been warned.
