Are You or Your Mother a Power Mom (Contest)

Not many moms have superpowers, but they could certainly come in handy.

In Fly Another Day, Naomi Johnson, the wife of Dave Johnson (aka Powerhouse) obtains superpowers secretly. However, she doesn't use these powers to fight crime.

Instead, they come in mighty handy for a busy mom. She uses her powers to get out that one stubborn spot on the bathroom floor, juggles the busy schedule of two tween boys with conflicting events, and protects one of her boys from a bully.

These are tough jobs that ordinary moms do without the aid of powers.

With that in mind, I'm pleased to offer a super Mother's Day essay contest.

Briefly answer one of the following questions:

---(Mothers only): If you could have had one superpower to help you as a mother, what would it be and why?

Or

---Why was your mother a superhero?

Winning answers will be between 150 and 250 words in length.

Prizes:

Two Grand Prizes (One for each question):

--Autographed Copies of Fly Another Day and the next Powerhouse book, Powerhouse: Hard Pressed (Coming in June)
--$10 Amazon gift card
--Publication of your answer on this blog.

Four Second Prizes (Two for each question)
--Free digital copies of, "Tales of the Dim Knight" and "Fly Another Day."
--Publication of your answer on this blog.

Email me your entries no later than Friday, May 10th at 6pm and let your friends know about the contest on Twitter or Facebook after entering.

Marsha Graham My Mom was a Supermom because she loved her children with all her heart. Mom would correct us, or punish us when we needed it. She was fiercely protective if anyone tried to hurt us. She would fight for us with her whole 4' 10" frame. Mom was small but she feared no one if they tried to come between her and her children. She prayed us through any test or trial that came our way. I believe in her last conscious moment she was praying for her children.
Mom washed clothes with a wringer washer and hung them out on a clothes line. With six children it was a lot of work but she always made sure we had clean clothes. She milked cows and kept a garden. She would do whatever work necessary to make sure her family was taken care of. She sewed our clothes on a treadle sewing machine.She cooked on a wood cook stove. We were poor in material things but we were always fed and clothed and sheltered. Mom would go without herself before she would allow her children to.
The day the Lord took my Mom home was a sad day for me but a glorious homecoming for her.
