Kai Strand Talks Balance

Today I'm visiting with my friend and CP Trisha Leaver and with Becky Wallace while Kai Strand stops by here to visit. So, once you've finished reading Kai's awesome guest post, swing by Trisha's blog and see what I really think about my CP's, and stop by Becky's Blog to hear my take on Small Presses vs Self Publishing. Take it away, Kai!!

All About Balance by Kai Strand

Balance- noun 1. state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc. 

In general, people strive for a sense of balance in their lives. Though it is great when the good outweighs the bad, ideally we hope for at least balance.

But there is a hidden danger in balance. Let’s imagine a teeter-totter, one large enough that when sitting on it you can’t reach the ground, unless you are the heavier occupant. What happens when you and the person on the other side weigh the same? You’ll sit, neither teetering nor tottering. Equal and stagnant.

Now let’s pretend you are a super hero and the other occupant is a super villain and you are balanced. Again, it seems like this should be a good situation, doesn’t it? Who wouldn’t want heroes and villains to suddenly have equal parts good and bad in them?

What happens when those supers are sitting – perfectly balanced on their teeter-totter and someone gets kidnapped? Hmmm…it seems neither of them care to do anything about it but to sit – perfectly balance on their teeter-totter.

Uh oh, this might be a problem. Find out exactly how big a problem in POLAR OPPOSITES: Super Villain Academy Bk 2

The supers are balanced. All’s well in the super world. Right? When dogs drag Oceanus away, Jeff learns the supers are so balanced, they no longer care to get involved. The only one who seems to care is Oci’s ex-villain, ex-boyfriend, Set. With Jeff’s own powers unbalanced and spiraling out of control, he wonders if they will find Oci before he looses control completely, and if they’ll find her alive.
