Pre-orders are now open for A Hero At The End Of The World by Erin Claiborne!
A Hero At The End Of The World is a hilarious and gripping combination of YA fantasy adventure, queer romance, and political satire.

“As a teenager, Ewan Mao was prophesied to save Britain from an evil tyrant — but chickened out at the last moment. Instead, his best friend Oliver Abrams ended up defeating the villain. Five years later, Oliver is a national hero while Ewan works at a coffee shop and still lives with his parents. But the two friends are unwillingly reunited when a magical cult targets Ewan in a plot to end the world.”

NOVEMBER RELEASE FOR “A HERO AT THE END OF THE WORLD,” FROM BIG BANG PRESS.
After a few months of work and a successful Kickstarter campaign, it’s time for Big Bang Press to announce the release date of OUR FIRST BOOK!
Written by Erin Claiborne (AKA fanfic author eleveninches), A Hero at the End of the World is a Young Adult fantasy satire of “Chosen One” narratives like Buffy, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson.
“Seventeen-year-old Ewan Mao has spent his whole life preparing for his destiny: defeating the evil tyrant who’s been terrorizing Britain for as long as he can remember. But Ewan never dreamed that when the time came, his best friend Oliver Abrams would fulfill the prophecy instead.
Five years later, Ewan is living at home and working in a coffee shop while Oliver is a national hero, working at the Serious Magical Crimes Agency. But the two friends are unwillingly reunited when a strange magical cult targets Ewan in a plot to end the world as we know it.”
This book will be published on November 11, 2014, and will soon be available for pre-order in both paperback and ebook format!
