    About this ebook

    Even Superheroes Hate Renovations
    Jenna accepts a job that takes confidentiality to the extreme: a major remodel on a minor superhero's lair.
    The only real secret? How Earth Worm can afford to buy everyone's silence, plus labor, materials, and lodging.
    Trouble builds on the horizon before the job gets started.
    Will a minor villain trying to break into the big time undermine them all?

     

    An excerpt from Jenna and the Lightning Beast:

    Staying Grounded in a Strange Situation

     

    Kevin laughed. "Nothing usual about being whisked away to a secret location on a secret project, is there? Everyone in the city knows more about what's going on than we do."

    The others gathered and introduced themselves, adding a Georgia highway department engineer, a plumber, and a home security expert to go with the inspector and insurance agent.

    And between the eight of them, still no real idea what they were there for.

    "I know we're not supposed to know," Kim said, "but I'm pretty sure this particular homeowner has to get the whole thing started. I don't see a doorbell we can ring."

    Jenna leaned forward, trying to peek inside the tinted passenger window of the van that hadn't moved since the motor stopped.

    "Unless she drove us up here."

    Everyone jumped at a rich, sultry voice from behind them.

    "She didn't drive you. Nobody did."

    Kari Kilgore

    Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That’s just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction. Kari’s first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018. Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019. Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she’s happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they’re better off not knowing more about. Kari’s novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams. For more information about Kari, upcoming publications, her travels and adventures, and random cool things that catch her attention, visit www.karikilgore.com.
