BarnYard Heroes

BarnYard Heroes: A Half-Baked Origin

BarnYard Heroes: A Half-Baked Origin is a blend of a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy novel and a Marvels Avenger movie, with a dash of the Muppets.

Thanks to a space alien’s experiments and the sudden corporate cancelation of his project, a band of misfit barnyard animals have malfunctioning superpowers, a thirst for adventure, and delusions of grandeur.

This origin story features the chicken, the last to join the space alien’s experimentation. She has yet to demonstrate a superpower, prompting the others to call her Half-Baked. But in order to save her fellow BarnYard Heroes and prevent the space alien theft of Earth’s cows, she will need to overcome her inferiority complex and activate her superpower. Who knows, she may even learn how to fly.

The fish had been given one rule by his space alien creator; never get wet. He learned why when his attempt to save his fellow BarnYard Heroes failed and he ended up a boiling puddle of goo oozing down the kitchen sink drain.

What appeared to be the end of the fish, turnout to be a new beginning. He emerged from the sewer reborn as a fat tailless turkey with duck legs, muscular human arms, and a lizard head. More importantly, he had new powers. He could run as fast as the chicken, control the cat’s tornados, lift objects 10 times his weight, and instantly heal his wounds. Despite his new powers, the fish still fears the responsibility of saving the day, preferring his former role of hiding in walls.

​Will he confront these fears, save his BarnYard Heroes friends, and stop every villain the BarnYard Heroes ever faced, who each plan mass destruction they believe will lead them to the glory of world domination.﻿

Samuel a. Mcadams

Samuel anointed himself The 21st Century Absurdist. The fact his writings don’t match the traditional absurdist definition matters not to him, for he insists the term “traditional absurdist” is an oxymoron. He stakes his claim to the title because absurd, along with fun, are the most common words used to describe his work. Comedy writing has been a lifelong passion for Samuel. He enjoys the craft, including the endless edits. He hopes fans enjoy reading his novels as much as he enjoys writing them. and is proud to finally have the first two novels of his BarnYard Heroes series published. Learn more at: sammcadams.com.
