Leoman

By Mark R Murry

Half human, half lion, all hero.

Leon Garrett is a sixteen-year-old photography intern working at the newspaper in Sedalia City, Indiana, when his best friend, Joe Vantrice, begins talking one day at lunch about an urban legend that Leon was purportedly secretly involved with while living in another town. There is no question that Joe believes in the Beast of Salemburg who disappeared four years ago. But what he does not know is that Leon is not who he thinks he is.

Since he was a toddler unwittingly involved in a laboratory accident involving lion DNA, Leon has been protecting the innocent while hiding behind a secret identity. Leon is really Leoman, a half human, half lion superhero. After his identity emerges during a violent confrontation, Leon confesses his secret to Joe. As he continues his investigations into crimes involving superhuman vigilantes while worrying if Joe will keep his monumental secret, now only time will tell if Leon can outwit the police who are hot on his trail and stay true to his mission.

Leoman is the exciting tale of a teenage superhero who must rely on his lion-like abilities to rescue the innocent from criminals with dark intentions.
