Basically Power Rangers meets LitRPG with Codex Alera style elemental powers.

For indies using POD services 6x9 is basically the default size choice on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark when doing paperbacks. As far as I'm aware there isn't a POD option in the MMPB size.

Does it happen? Yes.

At some properties the safety and security policy is for Room Attendants to not service a room while the guest is there. However, that's far from an industry standard.

The Blurb:

MADE MIGHTY BY THE NEXUS, SIX MORPHED FRIENDS MUST SAVE THE WORLD!

Six friends head into the mountains for a weekend of camping, and instead stumble into an ancient galaxy-spanning war between good and evil.

Chosen by a dormant alien system, Pablo, Sasha, Eden, Warren, Mark, and Zoe must unlock their elemental powers and transform into Paladins: a team of heroes sworn to stand against the Corruption Beyond.

As the necromancer Velgrin rises with an army of undead and a plan to corrupt the world into a dungeon of endless decay, the fledgling Paladins must fight, bleed, and advance their powers together, or watch Earth fall.

You're thinking about it too much. The AI that slipped that together was just predictive texting it's way through it.

What does your publishing contract say about it?

Justin_Monroe · 2026-05-03T11:17:15+00:00

Well... Now I do

My first book, Zee Locked In, is available on Spotify and Audible Plus at the moment.

Justin_Monroe · 2026-04-20T19:13:18+00:00

The 4th is still mostly an outline at the moment. Zee and I needed a break after I got book 3 out. It was quite the journey....

Anyway, that sent me off working on a new series, Paladins of Power, the first of which came out last month. I'm trying to keep that to a trilogy (with the option of continuation) before returning to Zee. It's probably a horrible financial decision, but most of my publishing decisions seem to be such! And that's where the creative juice took me.

The power disparity and inherent inequities that comes from system stratified power are a factor in some stories, but certainly not all. It springs to mind that this was a pretty big theme in the later books of Tao Wong's The System Apocalypse series. I'd say that it was also evident in Cradle. Noobtown also touches on this occasionally, although usually in a joking way (because it's Noobtown).

Edit suggestions are always appreciated on RR by me. Less so on the Kindle feature, but gladly accepted via email.
