The Seamstress of Steel and Spandex
Mending the Unmendable

About this book:

Martha Vance doesn't fight crime. She stitches the people who do.

In a basement vault beneath a dusty storefront, the city's most powerful heroes come to her with melted Kevlar, shredded spandex, and gravity-buckled composites—begging her to make them wearable again. Sixty-one, silver-haired, and armed with a modified Adler sewing machine and forty years of ballistic tailoring, Martha treats capes as engineering problems and superpowers as fit issues. A misplaced seam means a severed artery. A cheap zipper means a broken neck. And the new municipal contract demanding factory-standard armor? That's just another pattern she'll have to cut around.

*The Seamstress of Steel and Spandex* is a love letter to craft in a world of miracles—gritty, technical, and fiercely human. For readers who want their superhero fiction grounded in sweat, thread tension, and the quiet tyranny of physics.
