It's Publication Day! In Bus Driver Brice, Book 1 of The Extraordinary Adventures of Brice Johnson, we left our hero sinking into a vat of toxic waste . . . Never fear, Book 2 is here! [and the conclusion, Book 3, later this year with another great cover by Trish Ellis.]

In Unemployed Brice by A.L. Conner, [ You might know her as silverwriter01] Brice wakes up in the hospital after Virus drops her into a vat of toxic waste. She's not dead, but something's not quite right. In fact, nothing is quite right. Everything and everyone are the opposite of who they should be, like superheroes and supervillains keep themselves hidden from the public and, to her horror, her bus driving job doesn't exist. She loves her job as a bus driver! Brice finally figures out how to get everything back to normal. Too normal when she realizes her plunge into the toxic waste did not create a mutation to give her a superpower, and yet, the supervillains still are chasing her—with a vengeance. Fearing for her children's safety, Judy Watson wants Greer and John to move out of Brice's home. Then, in a final blow, the superhero committee strips Brice of her job because being the target of supervillains endangers her students.
Now unemployed and heartbroken Brice chooses the one option that totally erases her existence but protects her loved ones.

Haven't read Book 1? 
Brice Johnson is just an ordinary person. She spends way too much time on the internet, spoils her pets rotten, and hates washing the dishes. One of the few things odd about her is she loves her job as a bus driver.

Brice comes from a long line of superheroes. Everyone she interacts with on a daily basis has some type of superpower. Brice herself is what they call a baron in the world of superheroes—meaning she’s someone who should have special powers but doesn’t. In other words, just an ordinary person with an ordinary bus driving job for the International High School for Gifted Students.

Brice has lived twenty-seven years perfectly content with her unexciting life—her greatest challenge has been to find a girlfriend who doesn’t dump her. Like Bilbo Baggins, she views adventures as nasty, uncomfortable things that makes you late for dinner. An urgent middle-of-the-night call from Noel, an old friend with the ability to create ice from thin air, flips her contented life upside down as she reluctantly agrees to embark on an adventure to save the International High School from a nefarious group of supervillains.

Little does Brice know that once you start adventuring, life has a way of flinging adventures at you from every angle. 

Here it is with a new cover:

The smallest disturbance within the supernatural realm could easily expose their closely guarded existence to humans with potentially devastating consequences. It is with this threat looming that the vampires and witches were carefully monitoring the turmoil brewing amongst the wolves.

Billionaire playgirl and business tycoon, Myer Olex, was the darling of the media and the Alpha of the biggest, most influential wolf pack in the country. No one but her is aware of the utter chaos that was her private life as she embarks upon a drastic new phase in her life whilst at the same time dreading the imminent implosion of her race.

Gillian Smith was happy with her uneventful life until she accepted a seemingly innocent lunch date which set her on a turbulent path of self-discovery.
