Well, he did say, on his website, that he managed to put a couple of his characters from City of Heroes into the book.
 
I hadn't found that entry on his website!  Wow, he really is one of us!   :)

Also IIRC Bad Penny was the name of one of the Villains you could come across in the Hero Side Bank Missions.

Definitely not the same character (CoH's Bad Penny was a man, for one thing, and his background was that he was actually a penny - as in the coin - brought to life and transformed into a humanoid shape by a misfiring Circle of Thorns spell), but possibly named with him in mind.

This book sounds interesting.  I'll have to see if I can find it where I am (which is in France, while I still speak mainly English).

Just download it from Amazon for Kindle, that's where I found it.  If you don't have one, you can still read it online.

it may not be released for international sales yet. meaning that the IP pops as french, (or anywhere outside the states) it won't show as available for purchase.

Picked it up and read it and I have to say I was impressed with the story and how things keep just pushing them to be villains and seemed plausible or at least understandable.
