"SUPERSTAR" (Advance Review)

"SUPERSTAR"

Advance Review

__________

With the official April 7th release rolling up quickly, SUPERSTAR already is generating a buzz. And from rock stars to beta readers, it's receiving fantastic reviews. However, for Christopher Long, when the praise comes from fellow authors, the words of encouragement are particularly rewarding.

Kathleen Jones is an accomplished Canadian author. Her latest novel, Love Is the Punch Line is a romantic roller coaster ride, and has been well-received by readers since its release last spring. As a result, her recent advance review of SUPERSTAR was appreciated greatly.

__________

SUPERSTAR deals with the struggles of young country musician, Trent Davis, as he tries to establish a career for his band (Cherry Hill) while keeping his marriage together. This is a lively, fast-paced story with lots of interesting plot twists. Trent is an interesting main character; he’s a deeply flawed and sometimes weak man who nevertheless struggles with his conscience. Christopher Long makes great use of detail to paint vivid and lively settings. The dialogue is realistic and well-suited to the characters.

Foreword Contributor

"As one of her crazed super-
fans, I'm super-psyched that
Darla will be contributing
the foreword to Superstar."

-Christopher Long

__________

It's a compelling component of most major book releases — an engaging foreword from a prominent contributor, introducing and endorsing the author's story. 

In 2010, famed music critic, Gail Worley, contributed the foreword to Christopher Long's debut memoir, A Shot of Poison. The foreword to his 2012 sophomore release, C'MON! was penned by Jeff "Blando" Bland, guitarist for the platinum-selling arena rock band, Slaughter. And in 2014, Chris' third book, Shout It Out Loud featured a foreword from popular Canadian author and speaker, Brent Jensen.

For Superstar, Chris hoped for a foreword contributor who possessed deep country music roots, as well as someone of great faith. To balance writing perspectives, Chris also felt strongly that the foreword be penned by a female. In the end, he got his "dream" contributor.

A celebrated musician, accomplished songwriter and music producer, Darla Rae Perlozzi has achieved incredible success in the male-dominated country music industry. For the last several years, Darla has toured as the drummer for country music legend, Mark Chesnutt. She's also written songs for the likes of country chart-busters, Big & Rich.

Acknowledged recently as Christopher Long's current favorite drummer, Darla Rae Perlozzi is an incredibly exciting fixture on today's thriving country music scene. And her heartfelt foreword will be a welcomed addition to the Superstar story.
