Black Magic: The Rise of Modima (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977236876)

an Original Screenplay by Frank Sforza....

It doesn't matter that Deirdre Lange works as a correspondent for Freedom City's news channel - the girl suffers from an identity crisis. Her producer thinks she's incompetent, her boyfriend cheated on her in Paris, and she's always lived in the shadow of her big sister Cicely, a fierce warrior for civil rights. But then, after discovering a matter-altering Philosopher's Stone inside a Nubian tomb, Deirdre suddenly becomes a genie-like superhero calling herself Modima. Now seen as Freedom City's "new warrior", Deirdre and her magical alter-ego reluctantly join forces with her rival sister to find evidence against their parents' killer who just happens to be running for president. After a series of supernatural events, Deirdre finally discovers her true identity as Earth's new Maintainer.

"Black Magic: The Rise of Modima" is a personal homage to the classic superheroes of early television with its campy blend of action-adventure, fantasy, dramedy, and horror. In contrast to the dark. hardcore superheroes in today's films, Modima is a modern day throwback for people of all ages to enjoy.
