H.L. Burke, Author Free Copy of Beggar Magic ~ My Site ~ New Release ~ Substack The third and final (?) book in the Supervillain Legacy Project series has a cover!

I like working with others in group projects. That said, normally I'm decent about pacing myself and only taking on one or two major projects at a time. Lately, I have NOT been doing that. It kind of started late last year when I ... Started talking with Lucy Winton about publishing Forest Fire. Signed up...

H.L. Burke, Author Free Copy of Beggar Magic ~ My Site ~ New Release ~ Substack Why I like working with other authors in my superhero universe... The world of the Supervillain Rehabilitation Project seems to spawn endless spinoffs. What was envisioned as a 4 book series has somehow exploded into a 30+ book multi-series universe.
