Origins, Part One
by C. S. Johnson
read by Jennifer Groberg
Part 1 of the Fatgirl series
A girl, her grandmother, and half a dozen radioactive doughnuts ... There's nothing that seventeen-year-old Kallie Grande-White hungers for more than to be a famous model like her mother -- except maybe actually food. But that's a small inconvenience, especially with the Model Middle America reality show holding auditions for the Next Top Heartland Teen Heartthrob Model right in Kallie's hometown. Now that she has a chance to make her dream come true, Kallie is determined not to let anything stand in her way -- not her best frenemy, Amory Franklin, not her lacrosse-playing crush, Blake Turner, and especially not the new, awkward fat kid in her computer class. And while the sudden appearance of her PhD-in-nuclear-nanotechnologist grandmother definitely throws Kallie off, the rest of the world will soon find out that it's not over until the fat lady sings -- or in this case, it's not over until Fatgirl sits on a terrorist's face. You'll never look at doughnuts the same way again. Perfect for anyone who's ever felt out of place in high school and never felt good enough for others to love you for who you are. Fatgirl: Origins: Part One is the first in a new series featuring a satirical science fiction superhero take on growing up, PC culture, and diet culture from award-winning, genre-hopping author C. S. Johnson.

Part 2 of the Fatgirl series
The Girth of a Hero...
Kallie Grande-White aspired to worldwide fame and adoration, but she never wanted it like this.
After sort of innocently eating her grandmother's radioactive doughnuts in a fit of manic-depressive rage, and then arriving at her Model Middle America audition, Kallie transformed into a giant balloon-sized would-be superhero, even falling through her dressing room door just in time to stop a terrorist from taking Cuttingham City Amphitheater hostage.
As Kallie becomes a beloved city hero and overnight sensation, there's more on her mind when Kallie's grandmother, Abuela-Blanca, reveals the origins of the radioactive doughnuts - and why she now needs Kallie's help in bringing down an even bigger threat.
And while there's nothing Kallie wants to do less than take up the media's given mantle of "Fatgirl," she soon finds out she has little choice - not if she wants to keep her identity a secret, and not if she ever wants to get her mother to come back home.
You can't make a full doughnut sandwich with only one doughnut. Double up for the full origin story of everyone's newest favorite doughnut-eating superhero!
Fatgirl: Origins: Part Two is the conclusion to the origin story of this satirical science fiction superhero take on growing up, PC culture, and diet culture from award-winning, genre-hopping author C. S. Johnson.

read by Jennifer Groberg
Part 7 of the Fatgirl series
A former agent is retiring...and relocating to Florida....
Kallie once looked forward to the Spring Fling, the one dance allowed at Cuttingham City High School. It was too easy to dream of Blake Turner as her perfect date....
But now, thanks to her deal with Abuela-Blanca, they're spending the weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, attending the "retirement gala" for Zina "ZZ" Morozova--one of the last and youngest inductions to the KGB. Once a harsh and ruthless killer, ZZ's softened up a little in recent years, if only because she has enough blackmail and black market goods to support her--including AB's doughnut recipe.
Things are what they are, but the things take a turn for the worst when Kallie and AB infiltrate ZZ's party, looking for answers--only to discover the devastating truth about Kallie's mother....

Part 8 of the Fatgirl series
What happens when a cop eats a radioactive doughnut?
Upon their return from a largely disappointing trip to Florida, Kallie and AB are both expecting a slow week.
However, their expectations are quickly subverted when Zeus asks Kallie for a favor, and AB finds out there are still more radioactive doughnuts out in the city-and one's been eaten by none other than Officer Max Powers, the same man who'd helped Kallie the night of her Model Middle America audition.
And when Officer Powers becomes his greatest fear-a man with nothing left to lose, wildly desperate to enact vengeance against his brother's killer-Kallie and AB have new, unpleasant questions to answer: Why was he targeted? How is he connected to the other Alterants? Is there someone else out there with AB's stolen recipe?
If only they can get him back to his normal self first....
