WONDER WOMAN: the empowering superhero

Feeling helpless? Depressed? You need some Wonder Woman in your life!

For over sixty years author Carol A. Strickland has studied the Amazing Amazon as well as the outer world in which WW has been published. She produced a fanzine devoted to WW and has had many letters published within the comics, as well as some of her creative ideas utilized within WW’s stories.

Through the years Wonder Woman has shown us to break the rules patriarchy has imposed, to fight joyfully to be who we truly are. To be proud of ourselves and excited by life’s possibilities.

Now see how she came to do that: how she was concocted, how she was presented as a full-blown feminist in a comics world that was very much not so. Discover:

• That spectacular Wonder costume and how it’s changed
• Is there really a need for perma-boyfriend Steve Trevor?
• WW’s younger sister, Donna Troy
• Her most overused (yawn) villain
• Does eighty-year-old Wondie still hold a place in the 21st century?

Smash the patriarchy! Wonder Woman will save the world!

Abducted from Earth, held prisoner in a surreal cliff-top mansion overlooking the sea with a huge tortured alien, and expected to breed to create a hybrid warrior race capable of taking over the galaxy… Well, let’s just say a shy computer geek like me should be overwhelmed by such a future. But I’m not. And together with the males imprisoned with me, I’ll fight to escape my fate.

But escaping captivity proves far easier to accomplish than avoiding my destiny as the mate of the four alien brothers who claim me as their own. Even if it means rejecting the kind of love I’ve only ever dreamed of, I’ll do anything to save them from themselves and the terrible fate they seem so willing to embrace.

2 July (1937) is the anniversary of the mysterious disappearance of the famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart on her flight in an Lockheed Electra across the central Pacific Ocean. Pundits, authors, and explorers have advanced reasonable (and outrageous) scenarios to explain the Earhart enigma—to no avail.

S. Martin Shelton’s roman á clef “Amelia” posits a compelling narrative that’s based on the known facts about Earhart’s last flight and his extensive experience as a former naval intelligence officer.

Amelia Earhart, the famed aviatrix, vanished somewhere in the south Pacific during her attempt to fly around the world in her specially modified Lockheed Electra in July 1937. “Lost at sea” is the official story. The U. S. Navy was not convinced. The director of the Office of Naval Intelligence tasked his operations officer with uncovering the details of Earhart’s disappearance. His extensive research engendered more questions about government involvement than hard evidence about her disappearance.

Small business owner and financial advisor, Samiyah Manhattan is mourning the death of her six-year marriage when she vows never to trust men again. Alone at a local bar, Samiyah attempts to put her situation in perspective when she is drawn inexorably to the presence of a nearby patron.

Celebrity ex-boxer and heavyweight champion turned business mogul, Jonas Alexander Rose never takes women too seriously. They only attach themselves to him because of his star-studded status. However, when he meets the beautiful Samiyah Manhattan mulling over a mimosa at his favorite bar and grill, Jonas is overwhelmed by the heart throbbing heated attraction, and now he is on a mission to explore this thing called love. But can Jonas break the barrier that Samiyah’s put up and is he even ready? Find out if Jonas and Samiyah are a match made in heaven or if they will miss out on their happily ever after in Safe With Me. Book one in the Falling For A Rose Series.

The Falling for a Rose series follows each member of the Rose family as they explore this thing called love. However, each book is just as enjoyable if read as a standalone as it is if read in the series order.
