A Myrikal Novel for Immortal Works Press
Holli Anderson releases her latest superhero novel - one whose powers come from an unorthodox source.
Salt Lake City, UT, March 15, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Holli Anderson is no stranger to writing books that feature individuals with supernatural powers. In addition to her latest book, "Myrikal," she is also the author of The Five trilogy, a well-reviewed series about five teens who discover their magical powers.
What distinguishes the titular character Myrikal from other supernaturally-empowered protagonists, however, is the inspiration behind her. Ms. Anderson calls the idea behind the book “unorthodox.”
“I saw a video of a young woman testifying before Congress,” she said in a recent interview. “She’d been an abortion survivor. Yes, you heard that correctly. She lived through a saline abortion attempt, was born 2 months early - her skin burned by the saline - she was put into foster care, and grew up to be this amazing woman. I believe her name is Gianna Jesson. After reading the first few chapters of Myrikal, you’ll see the connection.”
In addition to its unusual source of inspiration, Myrikal is a superhero who doesn’t think of herself as a superhero. Ms. Anderson explains, “Her origin story is different than any other superhero out there... We get to see her as a young girl, discovering her powers and the power of friendship. She is the only person in the world with powers as far as she knows, and she doesn’t know how she developed them. She doesn’t see herself as a superhero; [her friend]... has to convince her that she is or she could be. She’s having a hard time shaking off the brainwashing of her father.”
"Myrikal" by Holli Anderson is available in paperback and as an ebook from Immortal Works Press.
"Darkly humorous and action-packed, this story will appeal to fans of Wonder Woman and Mad-Max alike." ~ DJ Butler, author of Witchy Eye
