Superhereos Wear Faded Denim 
by Law Reigns

Blissany Cherry is tired of sleeping around. Her neurologists’ sleep solutions have failed her. Now that her bizarre sleeping habits have begun to include week long dreams she has resorted to her own methods for a cure.

METHOD ONE: CONTROL DREAMS. All attempts to morph dreams about a gorgeous warrior into romantic fantasies are thwarted. He keeps on insisting she is destined to marry a great king and lead their armies into war. At the end of every dream he asks her: will you fight the war and save mankind?  

She laughs in his face.

METHOD TWO: RESIST! Blissany has plans for her life. None include fighting an intergalactic war.  When her dreams begin spilling over into reality, she is forced to make a decision that will forever redefine her life. Standing between destiny and desire, she is left with only one option.

METHOD THREE: SURVIVE.




 About the Author:

Law Reigns has an odd obsession with romance. At the advice of her friends, she gave up the plight of playing cupid in their lives. Developing her own characters to manipulate proved to be more rewarding. After having studied creative writing at the University of Florida, she decided to write Superheroes Wear Faded Denim. A proud Gator alumni, she based her novel where blood runs orange and blue. She personally invites all adventure druggies and love fanatics to dive into the pages of Faded Denim, a story that transforms a swampy, southern town into a battlefield for life and love.

Why this story:

I wrote this story for three reasons:

1.      As a narcoleptic, I wanted to inspire others by writing a story about a character who struggles to overcome sleep. Harriet Tubman’s story inspired me. For those who do not know, she was also a narcoleptic. She most certainly did not let it bother her. Anyone who faces obstacles in life will be inspired by this story of triumph.  

2.     Telling the story of a young woman who had to undergo a transformation to achieve greatness was important to me. Life will always ask more of us, more than we sometimes even think we can give. 

3.     I wanted to capture the beauty and culture of my college experience. There are so many different types of people we meet in college. Many stories do not even try to convey this. 

Book Review:

This book is very surrealistic.  It requires an ability to put aside the “normal” view of the world and accept the world of the book to fully grasp the concepts and ideas of the book.  It would drive my husband crazy, but I enjoyed it for the most part.  At times I was lost and confused, but those were rare.

The plot was so intense, dark, and gritty with hints of humor, romance and a fabulous subplot to boot.  The characters were unique yet very believable and realistic.  The characters evolve from “normal” to superhero and try to do the right thing.  It was interesting to watch the dynamics unfold.

While not my usual fare, this book was definitely worth reading.  I enjoyed the author taking on issues not generally dealt with in literature.  I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
