Wonder City Stories

Megan Amazon's life was a disaster: terrifying stalker ex, weird celebrity mom, you really don't wanna know. She decided to run, run far, run fast, run... to Wonder City. Wonder City: where an eight-foot-tall woman could try to blend in and make a normal life in a city of superheroes and superzeroes. Where else could she meet up with a retired superhero with a brain-dead son and a daughter-in-law who could fall for Megan's new BFF Simon? Or almost accidentally kill a superhero noob like Nereid, who's just trying to pass her college classes and get into her supergroup, and really didn't intend to fall in love with her (provisional) teammate? Everyone has their secrets. For some people, like the Ultimate and the Fat Lady, secrets are their stock in trade, while others don't know half the secrets they're carrying around. Megan thought her own secrets would be safe as long as she kept one-night-standing her way through the local queer scene, but sooner or later, everything will come out. And everyone will come into their own, whether they want to or not.
