Welcome to Adam Powerhouse! The Double Zero Super Hero.

Over the last few years, Adam has been a character lying dormant on my computer. I wrote a number of chapters to a complete story and outlined several sequels. But I never could figure out what to do with him. Getting an agent is harder and more costly than I thought it would be. So I have this great character for young adults and all I could do with him was nothing. But, after I finished my doctorate in education, I found I had time to work on him and new e-publishing formats has made it easy to self-publish. It would be great if a publishing company would want to pick Adam up someday. But for now, you can follow his adventures here, on Kindle, and on Smashwords. Feel free to leave me feedback as I plan on using this space to brainstorm more episodes of Adam Powerhouse.
