Question: Question: I’ve never read your Bigtime series. What is it like/about?

The Bigtime Series: Volume 1 — Purple city skyline with red banner and tiny superheroesAnswer: My Bigtime series is the first series I ever wrote/sold to a traditional publisher. Karma Girl, book #1, was my first published book, and it was first released in 2007 (!).

Basically, the Bigtime books are my nod to — and spoof of — superheroes, villains, and comic books/graphic novels. The books are all told from the first-person point of view, and they all follow a different character.

The books are set in the fictional metropolis of Bigtime, N.Y., a town that is full of superheroes and ubervillains. Karma Girl, book #1, is about Carmen Cole, an investigative reporter who exposes the secret identities of superheroes and ubervillains – until tragedy strikes (as it always does! LOL.)

Basically, the Bigtime books feature all the things I love about superheroes/comic books – alliterative names (Carmen Cole, Fiona Fine, etc.), secret identities that are ridiculously easy to figure out, and “pow! bif! bam!” fight scenes.

Each Bigtime book features a different couple, so they are more stand-alone adventures than my other series, and the books are definitely more zany and over-the-top than my other series.

If you’ve never read my Bigtime series, I hope you get a chance to check out the books with the upcoming Bigtime bundles. Happy reading!

    I understand updating the cover if that’s what you feel is better for the time but I really hate when they story itself is changed even the little detail because that’s what I liked about story when I first bought it and now I go back to reread it and somethings are completely different from what I read originally

    • Jennifer says:

      I understand your point. But some of the technology in the Bigtime books was so out of date that I thought it would pull readers out of the story. To me, it just made sense to update some of the technology.

      The changes are very minor, though, and nothing with the overall story/plot/characters changed significantly. Hope that helps. Thanks!
