My name is Jennifer Estep, and I write the Bigtime superhero series.
The Bigtime books feature sexy superheroes, evil ubervillains, and smart, sassy gals looking for love. Romance, action, adventure, superheroes, explosions – the books have something for everyone.
The first Bigtime book is Karma Girl, which tells the story of Carmen Cole, an investigative reporter who exposes the secret identities of comic book-type superheroes and ubervillains – until she falls for one. Karma Girl was released in May 2007.
The sequel, Hot Mama, was released in November 2007. It focuses on Fiera, a superhot superhero who can melt steel with her bare hands – and hopes to do the same to one man's heart.
The third Bigtime book, Jinx, is set for a Sept. 2, 2008 release. Jinx tells the story of Bella Bulluci, a fashion designer and artist whose luck superpower is more of a curse than a blessing – especially when it comes to her love life.
I hope you'll take a few minutes to look around the site and learn more about the books and the zany world of Bigtime. Enjoy!
n The covers are here, the covers are here: Here's the cover art for Jinx, the third book in the Bigtime series. The cover art for the mass market versions of Karma Girl and Hot Mama are also featured on this page.
n Two Bigtime re-releases: Good news. Karma Girl is being re-released as a mass market paperback in July, followed by Hot Mama in August. Then, the third book in the series, Jinx, will debut in September, also in mass market format. So folks can get their Bigtime fix all over again, before reading the new book. How cool is that?
n Cheers for the Bigtime books: The reviews are in, and Bigtime is a big hit! Here's what folks are saying about Hot Mama, the second book in the series:
"The superhero du jour in this smokin’ sequel to Estep’s debut (2007’s Karma Girl) is flame-wielding Fiera, a member of the souped-up supergroup the Fearless Five, based in Bigtime, N.Y. ... Feverishly clever plotting fuels Estep’s over-the-top romance."
"It’s back to Bigtime, N.Y., for more sexy, sizzling and offbeat adventures with those zany superheroes. Fiona’s first-person viewpoint reveals a tough, cranky yet caring heroine whose literal flash temper can raise hell. Estep’s twist on the world of superheroes is kick-ass fun!" 4 stars
"Snappy and diverting."
Here are some cheers for Karma GIrl, the first book in the Bigtime series:
"Chick lit meets comics lit in Estep's fresh debut ... A zippy prose style helps lift this zany caper far above the usual run of paranormal romances."
"Secret identities and superpowers take on a delightful and humorous twist in Estep's exciting debut, written in the first person. Fun and sexy, Estep's caper demonstrates how revenge can backfire. Here's hoping for more Bigtime adventures from this impressive talent." 4 stars.
