Which meant in four years, Bad Penny would be back, ready to be a supervillain again.
Or a heroine.
Knowing me, probably a villain. I had lots of time to decide. The point was, I have a super power!
Glee bubbled up inside me, and I lifted my fists towards the ceiling, laughing!
“AH HA HA HA HA HA!”
MESSAGE FROM THE WRITER:
Here ends the story of Penelope Akk, but worry not! Penny has friends, and those friends have friends. I am not even close to finished with telling stories of kids in her world. Right now, I plan on alternating a book in a brand new world, then a book in the Supervillain world, on and on. There is more fun on the way, I promise. An author I like has also asked to write a book in my world. I have agreed, but no book gets written in my continuity without me standing over her shoulder, liking everything I read as it's written, and making sure it fits my world before it's released. If side books do come out with a co-writer's name on them, keep that in mind.
Sincerely,
Richard Roberts
Richard Roberts has fit into only one category in his entire life, and that is ‘writer’, but as a writer he’d throw himself out of his own books for being a cliche.
He’s had the classic wandering employment history - degree in entomology, worked in health care, been an administrator and labored for years in the front lines of fast food. He’s had the appropriate really weird jobs, like breeding tarantulas and translating English to English for Japanese television. He wears all black, all the time, is manic-depressive, and has a creepy laugh.
He’s also followed the classic writer’s path, the pink slips, the anthology submissions, the desperate scrounging to learn how an ever-changing system works. He’s been writing from childhood, and had the appropriate horrible relationships that damaged his self-confidence for years. Then out of nowhere Curiosity Quills Press demanded he give them his books, and here he is.
As for what he writes, Richard loves children and the gothic aesthetic. Most everything he writes will involve one or the other, and occasionally both. His fantasy is heavily influenced by folk tales, fairy tales, and mythology, and he likes to make the old new again. In particular, he loves to pull his readers into strange characters with strange lives, and his heroes are rarely heroic.

Down to Oath, by Tyrolin Puxty
(https://curiosityquills.com/kindle/down-to-oath/)
You have to find yourself before you can leave.
Codi lives in the exceptionally drab town of Oath; a settlement without colour, children or personality.
When a child manifests in the library and introduces Codi to parallel towns that contain aggressive, manic versions of herself, she must decide between saving Oath…and saving herself.
After all, how much can you truly trust yourself?

Emma and the Banderwigh, by Matthew S. Cox
(https://curiosityquills.com/kindle/emma/)
Ten-year- old Emma doesn’t believe in faerie tales or monsters that secret children away in the night–until she meets one. One morning, a sickly older girl reappears and sets the entire town aflutter with whispers of a child-stealing monster lurking in the forest. Nan tells her of the Banderwigh: a dark soul who feeds on sorrow and feeds from children’s tears. Darkness comes calling on her happy home, the impossible becomes real, and Emma must find the strength to believe. Her family depends on it.
Strings, by G. Miki Hayden
(https://curiosityquills.com/kindle/strings/)
Robert, an ordinary boy, finds himself in a newly chaotic world. Buildings move when and where they please, and time jumps around according to no known laws of physics. For Robert, getting to his regular school in the morning is impossible, and as for getting home… But Holden, a boy he and his friend Nila meet in a cave, offers them a string. Teeny and tiny, and invisible to the naked eye, this string will take Robert and Mila to their homes and way beyond, to other dimensions.
