Starrella, and her flying horse combat vicious killers in the skies of
Atalanta.

mind of her own.
Back home in Atalanta,
a serial killer is targeting the students at Goldman University. Before long
she must juggle college classes with sneaking out of the house after dark to
battle alien monsters. Estelle’s life is in danger, but who can she trust: handsome
Mark Copper from military intelligence, or hunky Toby, the tough gangster with
a motorbike? Both men have secret agendas, but falling in love is not in their
plans.
Young adult
superheroes, quirky animal sidekicks, and a dash of romance enliven this thrilling
adventure. Book 1 of the Secret Supers.
Excerpt
Flying with Rockette a few nights later,
Starrella spotted the shadow of a giant mantis swaying back and forth against a
moonlit brick wall. In the dark alley below, the crisp footsteps of a lone
woman echoed faintly. The intended victim peered from side to side, nervous,
yet unaware of the terror lurking above her head.
“Rockette,”
Starrella warned.
“Seen it.”
Spreading her wings, the mare glided down toward the mantis. Her silent descent
brought them within ten feet before the mantis noticed.
It lunged for the flying mare.
Focusing her energies, Starrella shot a beam of
fire at the head of the huge insect. The flame seared across its huge eyes. It
screeched, clawed at its head and dropped into the darkness of the alley. Meanwhile,
the pedestrian had trotted around the corner into the safety of the well-lit
main street.
Rockette straightened her legs and landed in an
empty lot between the buildings. Slipping off the mare’s back, Estelle circled
the space, alert for another attack from the injured mantis. Behind her, Rockette
snorted and stamped her hooves, impatient at the delay.
A rush of air and the mare squealed, her hooves
shuffling on the asphalt. Swiveling toward the sound, Starrella bit her lip.
Mantis mandibles clamped onto a feathery wing, pinning the mare on the ground. In
a blur of white feathers, Rockette struggled to free her wing, twisting and
kicking with no visible effect.
Starrella pointed her fingers and hesitated,
unsure of her target. White mare and green mantis writhed together, and she was
afraid of hitting the wrong one.
A black shape bounded out of the darkness,
resolving into the lithe body of a large cat. Leaping onto the struggling
combatants, the cat’s teeth snapped into the neck of the mantis. The mare jerked
away and stood shuddering as the mantis legs scrabbled on the tarmac.
Starrella raced to her mare. The big cat turned
to face her, bared its curved fangs and snarled. Halting cautiously, Starrella tossed
her hair back over her shoulders and stared at the powerful black cat. Nearly
as tall as the mare, its sleek black fur had the pale yellow splotches of a
South American jaguar.
A faint sound called her attention to the dark
side of the building.
A man stepped out of the darkness, all in black
except for his eyes. In the dull black material of his close-fitting suit, he
was almost invisible, like a moving shadow. Even so, she recognized his distinctive
broad shoulders and muscular arms.
“Toby!” Starrella cried. “What the heck is
going on?” She stepped closer, holding out her hand to show the small flame rising
from her palm.
His eyes glinted in the moonlight. “Super
Starrella’s firepower! Great, we’ll need you for the mantis attack.” He
drawled, “They’re out in force tonight.”
