There’s always more to the story, hidden in the white space between chapters, in the time gaps between novels. There’s what came before and after, and meanwhile… when our attention was elsewhere. The other side of the story, including the part our heroines didn’t know. This collection peeks around those corners and explores the dark alleys of the Menopausal Superhero series. Peer into the past to discover how Cindy Liu became a mad scientist. Follow the bus at the end of Going Through the Change. Find out how Patricia “Lizard Woman” O’Neill spent her Christmas holidays. Flash forward for a hint of where the series may yet lead. These aren’t your father’s superheroes. Whether you’re already a fan or are just meeting these characters for the first time, Friend or Foe: A Menopausal Superhero Short Story Collection explores what it means to be a hero at any age or stage of life.
