SUPERHERO: BIOGRAPHY OF CHRISTOPHER REEVE

by Chris Nickson

Unlike many actors, Reeve has no scandals to hide. This biography reveals him as the talented, heroic man that he is. In "Superhero", readers see a man who has been driven from day one, driven to succeed academically, athletically, professionally, and after his accident, even more determined--to walk again, to help others in need, and to prove that the soul and spirit can soar, even when the body can barely move.

About the author

I'm a novelist and music journalist, the author of many books set between the 1730s and 1950s in Leeds, as well as others in medieval Chesterfield and 1980s Seattle.

Above all, though, its Leeds I love, the people, the sense of the place changing with time. Yes, I write mysteries, but ultmiateoly they're books about people and their relationships, and the crime becomes a moral framework for the story.
