Everything is Better with a Cape
Woke up this morning and thought 'Everything is Better With a Cape'!
Why you ask? Has the solar eclipse and climate change brought on mass downpours in that there North?
Er, no, actually.
Are you subbing as a superhero on your day off?
Shakes head and hides undies over bright leggings, softly closing the door to the phone-box.
The fact is, I know a Badger and that Badger writes books. (Quick. Call the yellow van! She's lost it.) In fact, Badger as my friend Claire is nick-named, runs a little site called 'Newsnibbles' that you may have heard off. They cover everything from local news, to book reviews and mime! On top of running the site, Claire also writes novels with a comedic vent. So, since I can run fast with billowing (!) I chased her to grab her latest press release.
I would have caught her but for the chaffing!
Luckily, she dropped this in her haste. Enjoy and be warned if you decide to turn to super villainy, or 'hero'ing, buy yourself some talcum powder first. Oh, my thighs!
Everything is Better With a Cape
From the author of I Wore Heels to the Apocalypse comes the hilarious sequel.
What is better than a sarcastic talking badger? A sarcastic talking badger with superpowers, of course!
Having survived the apocalypse, Kerry is back to being a socially awkward web developer, but when apocalypse survivors start ending up dead, with her next on the list, events begin to spiral out of control. Follow Kerry as she deals with life and fashion challenges, whilst trying to save the world in this hilarious sequel to I Wore Heels to the Apocalypse. Be a hero, #WearTheCape
“There was a really positive reaction to Heels, over all,” said Clepitt when asked about her sequel. “People loved the badger, which was to be expected, and they were all sad when he disappeared at the end. Of course spirit guides are only around as long as you need them, and since in this new story, Kerry’s life becomes a bit of a disaster, we see the triumphant return of the badger in all its sarcastic glory.”
“I think it’s really important to write diverse characters,” she added. “The world is not purely one type of person, despite what traditional canon would have us believe and it is essential that everyone is represented. As authors we have a responsibility to write diverse characters where we can. It is also important to write what we know, so it is equally essential that we help and encourage diverse authors, so that all perspectives are represented within a modern canon. I also don’t think we should have to add “warning labels” to our writing, you don’t warn readers that your books contain straight people, do you? No-one’s worried that it will somehow offend people. Bigotry is not a sensibility I think we need to consider.”
Everything is Better With a Cape is due for release September 3rd. Visit chclepitt.com for more information.
