Urban fantasy mostly in Worcestershire, also called Wychavon. Four teenagers doing A Levels get sucked into a strange situation with superheroes and aliens.
Originally inspired by the movie Mystery Men and a discussion about how silly USA Super Hero Comics were getting (about 12 years ago). Changed from a separate Superhero spoof story to something else halfway through initial version. The author spent nearly 6 months in the Evesham area in the mid 1970s.

Originally to be a standalone dystopian post-apocalyptic story with death and destruction in your face. Inspired by working in R&D a floor above various data centre suites (2006 - 2009). The characters in Hero Genesis are now at the University in Limerick City.
Quote:
Urban fantasy set mostly in Limerick, Ireland.
Alice (Eilis) joins the four English teenagers going to the University of Limerick, but senses a Horseman of the Apocalypse. Kate finds that Eilis is a strange friend with many surprises. This is the sequel to “Hero Genesis” and fifth in the Celtic Otherworld series, though the books can be read as pair or even on their own. The first three books of the series are a trilogy covering Alice’s magical development for her most critical three years.
“If an in-house system fails, only one bank, or one retailer or one supplier is affected,” insisted Louise. “If everything is outsourced to the Cloud, even if it’s a hundred times more reliable it’s an apocalyptically bad event because you lose everything at once. There are too few cloud providers, who are too similar and too big.”
