Scoliosis creates titanium superheroine from business analyst

A new book tells the story of one young woman's life - she lives it to the full despite the spinal condition Scoliosis.

[ClickPress, Sun Nov 27 2005] By day, she’s a mild-mannered business analyst, by night she’s the Titanium Maiden - superheroine dedicated to triumphing over evil in the form of serious curvature of the spine known as Scoliosis.

Author Kremena’s fight against Scoliosis evil is detailed in a new novel from Smink Works Books entitled Sex, Scars and a Superheroine with Scoliosis.

Diagnosed while living in under-resourced Eastern Europe, she is encased in a plastic “bucket”, migrates to Australia and eventually has a titanium rod inserted in her back.

Under the superheroine disguise of business analyst, Kremena wrote most of the quirky semi-autobiographical book on Post-It notes in an office toilet cubicle.

But this superheroine’s weapon of choice? Life philosophy. The novel is peppered with more than 200 of Kremena’s own quotes about life. “I silently asked myself pseudo-philosophical questions about my life and everyone else's,” she says.

Indeed, the Titanium Maiden has gathered valuable lessons and become a stronger person by fighting Scoliosis - but she's not about to admit that out loud. After all, it might sound schmaltzy.
