Into the Fire

Book 2 for me. Written as a fictional biography from both the omniscient and third person POV. 

The Famous One 

"Nicole Petrino-Salter allows the reader to witness the shaping of Joey Parr's soul. We are eyewitnesses to his journey from innocence to worldliness. From quiet invisibility to an uncomfortable fame, we participate in the unfolding of his life."

"Beautiful development of a troubled life. Joey is such a reflection of today's society. The Author took us into the soul of this child to adult, the pain, the fear, the emptiness, the joy the love and finally the meaning of life."

"A great look at a life that is messed up on the inside but looks like he has everything on the outside. Makes a Hollywood superstar into a relatable person."

"Make no doubt about it: this book is the story of Joey Parr. It begins with his childhood and progresses throughout his life and career, oftentimes reading like the most intense, gripping, and intriguing biography I had ever read. Joey's sense of emptiness and aloneness is evident from his childhood, and we watch as he grows up and tries to fill his emptiness. Sex. Drugs. The blues. It's his ability to sing the blues that jump-starts his Hollywood career. And that takes us from a story about Joey Parr, the kid, to Joey Parr, Hollywood superstar."

Thank you to all of those readers who truly "saw" the character Joey Parr. This author can't express the intense gratitude I feel for readers who've detailed their enjoyment of the book where I wrote my heart out in it to convey the depths of a character whose story I had to tell. 

Father, I can never thank you enough for your gracious gifts to me, to allow me to write novels, to give me the inspiration, the characters, the words. All more than I could ever seek. Thank you is never enough. Please keep me writing, Lord. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
