  • About This Novel

    Playing for Keeps was delivered via podcast in audio and PDF form and is now available in print from Swarm Press. It tells the story of Keepsie Branson, a bar owner in the shining metropolis of Seventh City: birthplace of super powers. Keepsie and her friends live among egotistical heroes and manipulative villains, and manage to fall directly in the middle as people with powers, but who just aren't strong enough to make a difference. Or that's what they've been told. As the city begins to melt down, it's hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad.

Save “Who Wants To Be A Superhero?”!

You all know my love affair with this show - so you can imagine my distress when I got this email from last week’s episode recap reader, Shockwave:

At Mid Ohio Con I heard that Nash Entertainment was only contracted to do two seasons of the TV show “Who Wants to be a Superhero?”. We’ve had people in our superhero community confirm this by calling Nash.

This isn’t to say that a Season Three won’t be made, but we’re thinking of trying to convince Sci-Fi. Thus, I’m starting a grass-roots attempt to get the Sci-Fi Channel to make a third season. I’m calling it “Save Superheroes.”

Basically, like the “Save Jericho” and “Save Dresden” campaigns, we’ll be sending Bonnie Hammer pictures of us in our superhero costumes and drawings of other superheroes.

    Thanks for putting this up Mur. I hope all of the 3rd Wavers out there will help out by sending a letter to each of the people listed. I did on Friday, and I’m going to keep mailing them.

    Let them know that you love superheroes!

    Thanks again,
    Shockwave

    Didn’t Bonnie step down fairly recently? I remember reading something about it on the Slice of Sci-Fi site.

    I just saw that too. (thanks to Mur.) Just address it to David Howe then. Looks like Bonnie will still be around though, according to the Sci-Fi Channel’s news article.

    We should really contact SCI FI Channel. Bonnie Hammer is in NY and Mark Stern is in CA. Send those superhero shots and let’s remind them not to forget us!

    I think the second season of Superhero had a lot in common with last season’s American Idol. Like American Idol, whose large number of talented singers made for a predictable season, last season’s Superhero had a large number of heroic individuals. I thought the first season of Superhero was more interesting.

    I’ve heard that there probably will not be a third season, but a kids version of the show. However, I don’t know when it airs or what station.

    That’s sad. How many adults are going to tune in for that?
