Save the date! Author Jaclyn Q. Martinez will be selling and signing copies of LADY KIDLAT MEETS HER MATCH at the Mississauga Literary Festival at Hazon McCallion Central Library!LADY KIDLAT MEETS HER MATCH is a contemporary romance about two Filipino-Canadians in Toronto who fall in love while nerding out about art, Star Trek, and cats.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Museum educator Kat Chua refuses to fall in love. Love made her mom put up with years of emotional abuse, and left her broken-hearted long after Kat’s father ran away with another woman. Love is a trap, and Kat would much rather remain free to pursue her secret dream to create and publish comics about Lady Kidlat, a Filipina superhero who wields the power of lightning.
Psychologist Jake Rodriguez fears love isn’t in his future. He’s always considered empathy to be his superpower, yet he failed to prevent his own divorce. Relationships seem much simpler in the imaginary worlds of his favourite science fiction and fantasy stories.
Kat and Jake’s agreement is simple: one night of pure fantasy, no heartstrings attached—but their fantasies reveal more than either expected. And when Kat needs a psychologist to help her plan art therapy workshops, it seems only natural to give Jake a call.
