I am so excited to share the amazing new cover for ACCIDENTAL AWAKENING, the first book of The Guardian Series and the Spekter Superhero Universe. Though a fellow superhero author, Lucas Flint, I discovered the amazing creative team at Miblart and I’ll be outsourcing my cover design to them from now on.

What do you think?

Oh, and along with a new cover comes a new book description, too. Check it out below:

They had one choice… 

…lie or become lab rats.

It was supposed to be a quiet family camping trip, the last hoorah of summer for best friends Quinn McAlester and Blake Hargreaves before the start of another grueling year in high school. 

But what they found deep in the woods that weekend derailed those plans. Days later, when the boys awoke in a hospital room together, they knew they could never talk about about what really happened to them.

Back home and in school, Quinn and Blake wrestle with how they are connected to—or are the source of—impossible and dangerous phenomena manifesting around and through them. Things burn or explode when they least expect it, and they can do things no one else can. Unfortunately, somebody else has noticed their developing superpowers, too.

Can Quinn and Blake control their newfound abilities before they accidentally hurt someone they love?

ACCIDENTAL AWAKENING is the first book of The Guardian Series and is part of the Spekter Superhero Universe.

Get it now.

Accidental Awakening

About the Book

After high school juniors Quinn McAlester and Blake Hargreaves found themselves restrained in a hospital room after a freak accident in a dangerous cave, they had no idea how much their lives would change. Shortly after a man named Agent Victor Kraze questions the boys about their weekend activities, they are discharged from the hospital into the care of their parents and their normal lives. Life back in Portsmouth, NH soon proved to be anything but ordinary as unusual phenomena begins to manifest around them without their knowledge or control. When Quinn mysteriously stops a car from running over a toddler with his mind, the boys quickly realize they are developing super powers. That’s when they decide to seek help from their nerdy, superhero and comic-book loving science teacher. What Mr. St. Germain helps them see forever alters the course of their lives.

About the Author

Damien Benoit-Ledoux

Damien's mind is a magical and nerdy place where fantastic heroes defend amazing worlds from dangerous villains who run amuck in an epic struggle to take over the universe. Recently, the brightest and best from this colorful cast of characters have made their way into notes, plots, stories, and novels for you to read and enjoy.

Damien strongly believes the real world we live in should be a place where LGBTQIA equality and respect are second nature and never questioned. When he's not working or spending time with his husband and their dog, Damien weaves this philosophy into the exciting lives of his characters and the fantastic space battles and romances they endure so they'll stop taking over his dreams at night.

And finally, he wants you to remember a very important thing: No matter how bad your day is at work, it’s always important to be grateful that you don’t work for a Sith Lord.
