Press Release
Pulse of Power is going “E” on February 14, 2011. Catch the E-Book version of Anne Elizabeth’s debut graphic novel at your favorite online source. From iTunes to Graphic.ly, everything is more fun on the computer.
In a field dominated by men, Anne Elizabeth (AE) is one of only a handful of female series writer-creators and Pulse of Power is the first installment, which is drawn by Marcio Fiorito, in an eight-part series. Dynamite released the paperback version in the Fall 2010.
Having previously published both multi-cultural fiction and romance with Atria/Simon & Schuster and Highland Press, AE was thrilled to try something different. As a life-long fan of comic books – beginning with Archie and Superman – creating and writing a graphic novel was an extraordinarily exciting event.
Richly imagined and utterly engaging, Pulse of Power re-imagines the timeless battle between good and evil. Tia Stanton is a graduate from The Academy, a prestigious private school in Greenwich, Connecticut, but she’s anything but prim and proper since she spends her days working at a magic shop, located in New York City, and her nights prowling as a monster-hunting vigilante through Connecticut. Then through a mystical rite she is given extraordinary superpowers and must help a warrior-king from another world save the universe from total destruction.
With Pulse of Power Anne Elizabeth delivers an intriguing and fast-paced graphic novel that is sure to please fans of paranormal fiction and comic books alike. Empowerment comes in all shapes and sizes. Destiny is a choice. Power up!
