Everything is perfectly organized in Amber’s life: her days at work, in the offices of a prestigious magazine in New York; her time with her beloved husband, Mike, and their adventurous vacations around the world. When Amber finds out she is pregnant, her immediate reaction is sheer denial: This can’t be true. She always knew she would want children one day, but now it feels so sudden, so unexpected. She tries to play for time, but Mike’s reaction to the news, with pure delight and anticipation, is the exact opposite. Wasn’t he happy before? Was it all a lie?

W Is for Wonder collects the first 10 episodes of the adventures of W, a superhero like no other, who struggles between the hunger for justice and the need to use violence to achieve that very ideal of justice. Through the episodes, the listener follows W, a shadow running in the darkness of lonely NYC corners, chasing criminals, helping lost souls. Some nights are memorable for W and they are filled with successes in fighting crime; some nights W holds on to the daytime identity of Guinn McGovern, trying to deal with a normal social existence and the struggles of modern dating.

The plan to bring W’s nemesis out in the open is set into motion, and the tide of events seems to be turning in our hero’s favor. Until an unexpected development threatens to blow up W’s secret identity.

Between serious threats to W’s secret identity and safety - from completely unexpected sources - and former allies becoming armed hurdles, W will have to find new ways to strive in the superhero job.

Something completely unexpected at the end of last episode has brought W back several years through old memories: What happened on the fatal night when W got super powers? How did Guinn McGovern fall in the superhero trap that became life as W? A radically different episode will open more questions and reveal more secrets of W’s past.

Questions keep ravaging W’s mind today: What’s hiding behind a research center and its chief, a professor well-known and respected in the scientific community? W will have to fight against time to look for the answers in a long run through febrile hours. Until something catches W’s eyes and makes everything shake.

This book is the cornerstone of Guinn’s story so far, where not only the relationship between the person behind the mask and the superhero who wears it is clarified, but we also discover something game-blowing about Guinn’s past. In a burning hot summer day, under a blinding sunlight, things change for W - forever? Don’t miss this story of W, and for the first time, see Guinn for what our hero really is.

In the second entry of the W series, we remove the mask and meet Guinn McGovern, the person in the black suit, the soul of the superhero who aims at bringing New York City back to justice. Having superpowers doesn’t really help Guinn in the everyday life: struggling at work while trying to balance crime-fighting activities with a normal social life. What can go wrong on a date night?

What is wrong with Guinn? A day at work and an evening therapy session with Jay help W surf through the thoughts and feelings of a superhero on forced vacation. What’s the point of being super if you can’t be a hero? Guinn is also reminded of an unmissable upcoming opportunity to spy into the past, and everyone prepares to take full advantage of it.

W awakes from daydreaming about the past to fall back to square one, where we left our hero at the end of book four. But now W only has a few seconds to escape from the impossible situation fate has constructed. How will W accomplish this mission? What will the superhero attempt to find more answer to questions from a forgotten past?

Some nights are memorable for W and are filled with successes in fighting crime; during some nights, W holds on to the daytime identity of Guinn McGovern, trying to deal with a normal social existence and the struggles of modern dating. This night, W has to wear both hats: The job as a superhero doesn’t allow any day off, even when some truths about Guinn, and about how some of the main characters of the series became who they are, could be waiting around a corner.

In the middle of the night, a shadow is running in the darkness of lonely New York City corners, chasing criminals, helping lost souls. Wrong Day for a Kill is the first short story in the science fiction series Superhero Stories: The W Series. W is a superhero like no other, who struggles between the hunger for Justice and the need to use violence to achieve that very ideal of justice. Where is W running to tonight? Who is being chased? Meet W in the first of a long series of adventures.
