About the Book

Templeton Academy- the superhero high school is finally open!


The prestigious academy is recruiting the best of the best to enroll in its student body.


The school is as mysterious as it is exclusive.


Grady Whill thinks there is nothing special about him to make the grade.


However, his best friend, Aarush Patel has been selected and thinks Grady has the right stuff.


Even school bully Elwood Bledsoe is attending.


If Grady is fortunate enough to be picked, his guardian has forbidden him to attend.


Will a family secret prevent Grady from becoming the superhero he was destined to be?

Check out this excerpt from the book!

I’d like to say that life improved, but I’d be telling you a lie. Elwood Bledsoe continued to bully Aarush. While Aarush constantly cautioned me to rein in my reaction to him, I could not. It landed me in two more detentions, and the last one finally cost me my job at the supermarket where I bagged groceries. 


“You’re coming for dinner,” Aarush informed me one afternoon. 


I shook my head. “Can’t.” 


Aarush neatly packed his brown bag with unfinished food and said, “You have to come over. You’re not working. Tonight they are announcing the winners of the Find My Power Essay on television. Devon Neely has to win. Imagine losing your sight and learning— ”


“Aarush, they’ll never accept a blind kid.”


“They took that girl Lydia,” he blurted.


They had indeed. 


“She’s not blind,” he retorted.


I raised my eyebrow. She hardly looked like someone people expected to make it into the Temple. All I could recall was she seemed most unremarkable. Most of the kids who were accepted had a rare talent. They could run the fastest or do math without a pen or paper. I couldn’t remember what made her special.

Q&A with the Author

What are four things you can’t live without? My kids, grandkids, books, and ice cream.

What is your favorite television show? I loved Succession.

If you could be any character, from any literary work, who would you choose to be? Why? Jane Austin’s  Elizabeth Bennet, because deep down, I am her. 

What have you got coming soon for us to look out for?

What books or authors have most influenced your own writing? I love Jane Austin, James Clavell, Tracey Chevalier, Jodi Piccoult. Any of of these authors transports me with their stories and I forget where I am.
