PHOENIX - s4story -- [Phoenix, AZ] — Nicole Newman, a visionary storyteller known for her impactful stage productions and community leadership, is once again stepping into the spotlight—this time as an author. With over 25 years of experience in the arts, Newman proudly announces the release of her debut novel, The Franklins: A Family Saga, adapted from her acclaimed stage play Holiday Gatherings.

When the world paused in 2020, so did Nicole's live productions—but not her creativity. "The stillness gave me a new direction," she says, "to write stories that go beyond the curtain—into the private thoughts, whispered prayers, and inner battles of my characters." That pivot birthed not only a novel but an immersive companion journal, Faith Through Fiction, offering readers a reflective experience filled with spiritual guidance and healing prompts.

Now available in audiobook format, The Franklins offers a new way for readers to engage with the story—perfect for listening on the go, during quiet moments, or as part of a book club or group discussion.
