About Harlem’s Odyssey: Heroes Don’t Wear Shorts by James D. Michael
“It’s not as if Harlem became a hero solely for celebrity and riches. Not at all. But that’s not to say that a little celebrity, and some riches, wouldn’t have been nice.”
All Harlem Sunday has ever wanted to be is a hero. And not just any hero. Harlem wants to be the right type of hero… even if he’s not entirely sure what that means just yet.
But luck is on Harlem’s side, for the nearby village of Lumbdale has found itself under the curse of a mysterious evil and is in desperate need of a mighty hero to come and save it. Or barring that, the next best thing.
From hedonistic faeries to lonely witches to misunderstood werewolves to wyverns posing as dragons, if Harlem is going to get through all of that AND save the day, he’ll have to prove to himself and the world that he has what it takes to be a real hero. Even if he is wearing shorts.
*Discworld meets the Princess Bride by way of Dungeons & Dragons. If your humor skews Monty Python, and your sense of fun and adventure leans fantastical, even absurd, then this book is for you. And if not, it makes for great kindling.

Author Bio:
Born and raised in coastal Australia, James wasn't always destined to be a writer. A self-confessed movie buff, he was going to be an actor. Unfortunately, James couldn't act. Fortunately, he figured this out at a young age and quickly turned his sights on writing instead.
Believe it or not, James has written over 100 novels, although you'd be forgiven for not knowing it. As a ghostwriter, his is the name that doesn't appear on the front covers of those bad boy romances and cozy mystery novels that you love so much. But for every erotic scene written or whacky twist concocted, James harbored a dream to one day write and publish under his own name.
Fantasy is James' passion. At the moment, he's working on the Harlem's Odyssey series. But he intends to be here for a while yet, so expect more fantastical worlds, more dashing heroes, more daring adventures and fantasy epics and, most importantly, more writing.
