'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title. Most of my writing is fantasy based but I have wrote one or two horror short stories, one of which has been selected to appear in an upcoming anthology so maybe in the future I might write a full length horror novel too ) Visit my website at The link to Stella Stargirl's in-character blog: With True Hero the author turns his attention to the superhero genre, imagining a world were those gifted individuals are not only real but appear in abundance. I write in my spare time and would love to continue writing well past my education and when I enter the good old working world. Jack Hessey's previous novel Steam Queen was firmly rooted in the steampunk genre, a wonderfully written tale of train based combat with a seriously impressive plot. At the moment I am currently in full time education studying Zoo Biology at Nottingham Trent University. Many of the sites which I joined were X-Men/Marvel comics based which I think was pretty useful in developing my skills at writing the superhero genre. With them you sort of pick a character from whatever the site is based on and role-play as them. Writing True Hero? Was partially inspired by my love of internet forum based RPG websites. The comic books, superhero novels, superhero movies and superhero video games I love them all so it was no surprise really when I decided to try and write a superhero novel too! The end result was True Hero? A novel which World Castle Publishing have agreed to publish.

Both books have received great reviews and Steam Queen was book of the month for January 2011. Around the same time I wrote a children's fantasy novel called On Angels Wings which I also had published. I started writing seriously in 2009, steampunk novel called Steam Queen which was published in 2010. I was born and raised in Mansfield, England live there today.
