Into the Fire

This was the third novel published in print, but it was not the third one written. It came later after the three others that followed The Famous One. It was my first effort at writing my protagonist in first person male point of view. 

I'd asked an author friend to do the back cover blurb. He was kind enough to read it and I loved his response: 

"A bestselling novelist hiding her loneliness behind a pen name, Shay is more of an innocent than her stories let on with only two vices: shoes and cigarettes. When one of them attracts the attention of another lost soul looking for love, Shay's story takes an unforeseen turn. In Breath of Life, Nicole Petrino-Salter proves to be a minute chronicler of the human heart. She imbues her tale of second chances with a quiet emotional intensity that builds page after page."

Breath of Life is currently not available for e-readers. 

Father, thank you is always the way my prayer starts when it comes to writing these stories. My gratitude is never-ending. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
