In a world where the superheroes have the best gifts, but are real jerks, Keepsie Branson has the power to prevent anything in her possession from being stolen ... not enough to make a difference, or so she thinks.

Playing for Keeps

Jacalyn Boggs

What happens when the superheroes turn out to be less than heroic? What about those people with less desirable (to those who would be heroes at least) superpowers? 

Meet the regulars, who are anything but regular, at a local bar in a city overrun with supes on both sides of the law. When they get caught up between the villians and the heroes, things turn a little hectic. What will they discover about the world they live in and their own selves.

Action, adventure, heroism from unusual places, and a whole mess of creative superpowers you'd never imagine hitting the superhuman world. Just what good is a power that allows you detach your legs? What about shooting poop from your hands? 

Let's face it. This is the real world. There is no Superman (no matter how much I wish he was here. Supes, you out there? Fangirl, right here!), but what if there were cool superhuman powers? What would you have? Me? I have a superhuman power. If there's something for me to walk into, I do it. See, isn't that cool? That's the sort of crazy stuff in this book.

Check it out. The book is funny as well as well written.
