A Chat with Nancy O’Toole Meservier – #IndieSuperheroSummer

---

Hello friends, and welcome to the third and final interview of #IndieSuperheroSummer! Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Nancy O’Toole Meservier to the blog. Nancy is the author of Red and Black and it’s brand-new sequel, Black and Blue. This series is about fangirls turned superheroes, cute guys just trying to do the right-wrong thing, and an almost You’ve-Got-Mail type secret identity romance. In short, it’s simply adorable. Plus, we all know I have a soft spot for superhero stories that play into the splash of the genre, so I was really destined to like these books.

Nancy herself is also friendly and deeply enthusiastic about books (and comics!)—but then, what more would you expect from a librarian? You all should absolutely check out both her and her work. Come to her social media for the book talk, stay for the cat pictures. And on that note, let’s see what she has to say!

A Chat with RJ Sorrento - #IndieSuperheroSummer

---

Today I’m welcoming debut author RJ Sorrento to the blog! RJ is the author of Captain Stellar, a bright, breezy series opener about everyman Cal Bolden, who has superpowers given to him against his will, when all he really wants to do is live a quiet, normal life. I appreciated Cal’s gentle nature in this book, especially when contrasted against the extraordinary strength he finds himself with, as well as the struggle Cal has with simply finding his place in life. This is truly a coming-of-age story, about navigating the often confusing, conflicting desires that we have in our early adult years.

A Chat with Stefani Chaney - #IndieSuperheroSummer

---

Today it’s my genuine pleasure to welcome Stefani Chaney to the blog for the first interview of #IndieSuperheroSummer! Stefani is the author of The Opposition series, a story about a group of teenagers who sign up for a medical trial and end up with more powerful (and deadly!) consequences than they could have ever imagined. The first two books, Midnight and Liminal Boy, are available now in both ebook and paperback. My favorite part about these stories is far and away the characters. Whether it’s bossy and impulsive Jo, long-suffering Jamie, or sweet, tortured Langdon, Stefani brings everyone to life with realism and grace. You’ll fall in love a dozen times over—just in time to get your heart broken (in the best possible way).

In addition to writing her wonderfully engaging and grounded stories, Stefani is just a delightful person—always willing to cheer on my own writing process or provide cat pics as a balm after a bad day. So let’s get to know her a little better, shall we?
