Karma Girl by Jennifer Estep
***May 1, 2007***
Someone has to pay for what happened to Carmen Cole …
Bigtime, New York is not big enough for both Carmen Cole and the superheroes and ubervillains who walk its streets. An intrepid reporter, Carmen’s dedicated her life to unmasking the spandex wearers, all because her fiancé turned out to be a superhero, and a cheating one at that — sleeping with none other than his nubile nemesis.
Exposing the true identities of the nation’s caped crusaders and their archenemies has catapulted Carmen from her sleep southern hometown to the front pages of one of the country’s biggest newspapers, The Exposé. Hobnobbing with modelizing millionaires and famished fashionistas is all in a day’s work for the woman hot on the trail of the Fearless Five and Terrible Triad. But when Carmen gets the scoop of her career, her life comes crashing down around her. And even Bigtime’s sexiest superhero, Striker, may not be able to save her …
You can read the chapter here and then com back on April 30 when Jennifer will be guesting with us. It should be bigtime fun!
I’ve always wanted to write a ‘supers’ book, so I can’t wait to read this one! The world Jennifer’s built sounds fab.
This one does sound cute, and I find that chick lit works better for me when it’s blended with another genre. In fact, ::shuffling papers::, I’m ordering copies for work this week.
Thanks for the nice words, ladies. I appreciate them. I hope you both enjoy Karma Girl! 🙂
I loved Pixar’s Incrediles, so I’m definitely curious, and will be looking for it. Anyone know if it’ll be out as an ebook?
yeah, incredibly, I can’t spell “The Incredibles”
Probably not. It’s Berkley. Damn them anyway.
