    Hello John!

    I'm really not a big fan of series with superheroes
    because mostly I find it so incredibly difficult to
    suspend my disbelief and/or they're almost always poorly
    written... so I'd be happy to find one that breaks the
    mold.

    From this description, that's not the one. just seeing the
    "sentence" in there: "And to rule man you must crush his
    wills." That's enough to put me off.

    Uh-oh.. the powerful language of "The Flaming Wrath of Arelor"
    has lots of that. :/ ..or it could be the one that "breaks
    the mold" that you seek! :D

    I certainly donç't consider my novels to belong to the superhero genre. Maybe I could sell them as such with some repackaging.

    Urban Fantasy used to be what sold in the Fantasy sector. Nowadays what sells are dystopias. I can't easyly repackage my work and make it pass as those. Too bad.

    The language is tough. Much like the language that John
    mentioned, eg. "we will crush you". But I never perceived
    your stories with a superhero or villian in mind. Unless Arelor
    is kind of like that?

    Dystopia is still a hot one. People can't seem to get enough of
    reading about tradegy and adversity and struggles.
