Burlington, New Jersey, Author Publishes New Novel

"The References," a new book by Mark Dennion, has been released by RoseDog Books.

"The References" is the story of a group of superheroes endowed with the powers of reference books. Together The Human Dictionary, Thesaurus Rex, and Atlas learn how to help each other cope with these new abilities, and to clean up the city's streets (and grammar). But little do they know that a group of slang speaking villains, The Wu Slang Clan, and a scorned sibling with equal powers, Lexi Con, has set out to stop them. The References is an adventurous novel that mixes action, comedy, and suspense to tell a story that will educate all who read it.
