Just Don't Put It On Your Lunchbox!

After seventy-plus years of do-goodery, positive leadership-by-example, and keeping young minds thinking about… oh such concepts as right vs. wrong, scientific plausibility and yes, reading comprehension, superheroes are forbidden from the classroom!

That's too bad… not that OUTSUPERED: OR, I SAVED THE WORLD AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS CAPE has ever graced any educational curriculum…

All we can say, is that once you've learned to read, your next instinct is to find something you like reading. We think we have an answer to that equation. At least, part of it. Fantasy novels shouldn't be the entirety of one's repertoire, but for that specialized section of your bookshelf, may we recommend… the above mentioned book?? We shall!

What sets apart the superheroes in OUTSUPERED from the ones banned from lunchboxes? Well for one thing, they're intended for adult reading – no, they aren't dirty, rather they're mold-breaking! Rob Foster's super-folk destroy clichés while playing by the same rulebook that the others do. They embody ideas, not just the same old archetypes of "might makes right."

If you won't give up your love of daring exploits by superhuman characters, but wish they'd address stuff more pertinent to the here-and-now… browse OUTSUPERED!

You'd better hurry too, and catch up with the story. The sequel is on the way: OUTSUPERED II: ARRIVAL OF THE OMNITERRESTRIALS! (Watch this blog for the announcement of its release!)

It Never Fails!

If we had a dollar for every time a hawt babe in a polka-dot bikini carried a stack of Rob's books across a beach and tripped…

OK, maybe we wouldn't even have the dollar, but we did get your attention! This will only take a minute, and it'll be as much fun as making a beach angel!

Just a general plug this go-around; click the link above, just under the main heading, and you'll take a quick trip to Rob's Amazon Author Page, where you'll find all his bombastic blatherings displayed in a row! There's something for nearly everyone – you're out of luck if you were hoping for an embroidery how-to, or a thorough examination of yak migrations – otherwise, enjoy!

There are new titles on the way; watch this space for their announcements…

Why Should You Read About Super People?

Well, because super people are worth reading about. In fact, it's the "in" thing to do, these days! As Foster has stated many times, superheroes are this generation's Shakespeare.

But there's an even more urgent reason to check out Rob Foster's supernovel, OUTSUPERED: OR, I SAVED THE WORLD AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS CAPE!

Fact is, OUTSUPERED II: ARRIVAL OF THE OMNITERRESTRIALS is on the way, and you need to be up-to-superspeed on the story before that happens!

The superheroes who survived the first novel (see how behind you are?)… must now once again put their differences aside and join forces to save humanity from an ancient rogue "god" and his empowered followers, who've returned to reclaim their long-gone lordship over the planet!

Mother Superior, Eagle X, The Red Wraith, Jihad, Mechatrix and Skullduggery are all back, plus some new heroes and villainous types… and let us not forget intrepid non-super but awesome Agent Angela Michaels, and her new partner, manly Matt Jade!

Super-duper exploits, thrills, nail-biting plot twists, and as usual, tons of Foster's satirical cliché-destroying dialogue, await your rabid delight. Can heroes so diverse prove once more that we win when we unite for a greater good?

Watch this space for the announcement of OUTSUPERED II's release! In the meantime… leap the tallest mouseclick in a single bound, to read the original, the only, OUTSUPERED!

Available from most any fine online booksellers, in paperback and e-book, of course!

The Book That Puts The "Umm" In Summer!

What, you haven't read JUST WRONG?

What is it?

It's the literary equivalent of the Ice Bucket Challenge, only it will cure the drought in your Fall reading list! It's got relatively normal people sitting outside staring at traffic, reaching for a cold one and wondering why.

It might burn you up at first, but it'll give your blues a cold, wet kiss. You've got to read JUST WRONG, the novel that Hollywood can't ignore much longer – though it's trying awfully hard!

Available from most any fine online booksellers, in paperback and e-book.

One Or Two Messhuggahs With Your Coffee?

HAPPY... DEATHDAY, LENNY??

The Fosterical Library hasn't been sweeter on anyone than Lenny Bruce! There's not one, but two books to enjoy – and even a chapter about him in our book on Ernie Kovacs – browse that too!

We just used every version of "to" in one sentence!

Since today is the anniversary of the iconic rebel-rouser's passing – and since we f'ed up and missed doing this promo on his birthday this year – we're plugging 'em both here:

MR. BRUCE, DO YOU SWEAR?

and

IN THEIR FACES: COMEDY OUTSIDE THE BOX, UP TO LENNY BRUCE

In the first, Lenny Bruce, the most important stand-up comedian of the 20th century, gets one more chance to defend his life on the witness stand. And you are the jury. Bruce's struggle for his right to speak his mind on stage brought about an evolution in stand-up comedy and transformed the way we interpret our freedoms under the First Amendment of the Constitution. Every American should know his story. A stage play by Rob Foster, "Mr. Bruce, Do You Swear?" brings Bruce and the legal battle he waged back to life, recreating some of his legendary, status-quo threatening comedy along the way! Sit back and prepare to have your eyes opened and your mind blown, by the tumultuous life of one of American culture's true originals... ya shmuck! The book includes the entire text of the play, plus original review notices, author's commentary and a photo-strewn biographical chapter on the man himself, Lenny Bruce!

The other, the third volume of The Legendry Laughter Series, is about some of the classic comedy masters who spent their careers pushing the envelope of their profession - turning heads, raising eyebrows, and reinventing the craft of laughmaking - up to the era when one particular comic turned it on its ear. Need a laugh-break? Relax, pull up a whoopie-cushion and enjoy!

Each is valuable in paperback and e-reader format. Order via AmazonSmile and a portion of your purchase total will be donated to, another iconic comic, Elayne Boosler's Tails of Joy Animal rescue. Now there's some joy you can create yourself!
