There goes summer vacation!

The Inconceivable Adventures of Cabbage Boy is a classic superhero comic inspired chapter book series aimed at the seven to 11 crowd.

The story follows the adventures of nine year old Ralph Spitzle after he gains a remarkable (and inconceivable) super power following a brush with a cosmic space orb on the night before summer holidays. Ralph’s new power – super flatulence – comes in handy as he battles an evil super villain bent on controlling Ralph’s town.

Super flatulence?!
Aside from the silly nature of the book, the story delves into ideas of friendship, self-confidence and heroism.

Tell us about the drawings. They’re great.

The illustrations are by an accomplished Marvel Comics illustrator – Scott Reed – and are meant to reflect how a nine year old would see themselves as a super hero.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
Kids aged seven through 11, particularly those who have a silly sense of humor and think that the power of super farts would awesome. The book is not long, and so it is also a great way to encourage reading in a reluctant reader. I’ve had many parents give me that feedback – which makes this so worthwhile.

Will there be more Cabbage Boy stories?
The second book in the series has been written, and I’m working on the illustrations.

I expect to have Book 2 out in time for the holiday season.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a boring lawyer by day, children’s book author by night. I’m also a silly dad who loves to make muppets with my kids. I’m also a triathlete. I live in Thornhill, Ontario.

I have a hard time just sitting around.

I grew up reading superhero comics and spent many hours as a kid designing costumes for my various superhero personas.
