Rock n' Roll Supernova: Novel Takes Readers on Wild Ride Through the Life of a Rock Star

LARAMIE, Wyo., Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Buddy Carmichael always was a bit of a rebel. A virtuoso guitar player with dreams of making it big, Buddy flouts his parents' advice to choose a safe career path and instead heads straight for the Big Apple the first chance he gets. It's a wild ride from there in Rock n' Roll Supernova (ISBN 0595288162, Outskirts Press, http://www.outskirtspress.com/rocknrollsupernova), the new novel from author Joe A. Crawford.

Anyone who came of age in the '60s, '70s or '80s will get caught up in the nostalgia of Rock n' Roll Supernova. Crawford skillfully weaves the rollicking good-time rock lifestyle of the last four decades into the story of Buddy Carmichael's meteoric rise, devastating fall and eventual redemption.

Though he chooses his own path, not all is smooth in Buddy Carmichael's world. Arriving fresh-faced in New York, he meets a cast of colorful characters, succumbs to the lure of drugs and eventually cleans up - all before he lands the record deal that propels him to the very top. But fame comes at a terrible price, and in an instant, Buddy's career - and the superstardom that went with it - are shattered. What follows is as American as Mom, apple pie and rock and roll itself: the comeback.

"Rock n' Roll Supernova is about dreams and having the guts to go after them, even though there is a price to be paid," said Crawford. "Buddy Carmichael could be anyone who feels there must be more to life than safe choices. In his successes and failures, I think readers will see something of themselves and think about recapturing their own dreams."
