This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 433 episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors podcast.

This week I finally finished proofreading the

e-book version of my superhero historical wayfare on its way to publication. I've also been working on the back cover copy keywords and related stuff in preparation to commissioning the cover art, which is always one of my favorite bits of publication prep.

Then it'll be time to type set the print version. We are definitely getting closer

all the time. But in the interim here's my working back cover blurb to wet your appetite.

It's Oliver Twist meets the Flash.

Think being a superhero is hard.

Try being the first one.

Will's life is a proper muddle.

One minute he was just trying to save his master from debtors prison.

to Kenzi in London's most colorful characters.

A precocious girl pickpocket on the leash of a sadistic crime lord,

a reckless lady scientist who might hold the key

to curing Will's ghastly side effects,

Hearing the name of the Wayfair on everyone's lips is thrilling,

until they started hunting Will as a black-hearted highwayman

and blaming him for the chilling imprisonment of the city's poor.
