The Price of Fame -- A Riveting New Novel About a Band's Rise to Fame and Its Lead Singer's Shocking Downfall

AURORA, Ohio, Aug. 28, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Success is that one thing that everyone aspires. For some, it is a long journey of hard work and constant disappointments. Those who hold success and its inevitable companion, fame, in their hands are admired, revered, and put on a pedestal. But what is the price of success? They say what goes up, must come down and that the higher one flies, the harder one falls. In a moving tale about a successful band and its young and talented lead singer, author Urban Nilsson takes readers inside a world that is not always revealed to the public, to the screaming fans.

Robert is an up-and-coming author who meets the popular singer, Ronja at a Saturday night talk show where they are both guests. After dinner and some drinks, the couple find that they share a common interest -- music. Ronja persuades Robert to form a band, he is convinced, and Ron-bee is born. As they grow popular, a fan sends them a video of herself performing in church. Jenny, with her powerful voice and moving performance, becomes the group's new lead singer.

As Ron-bee starts invading the United States billboard charts, the group's fame grows a larger following. Whenever the band's talented lead singer performs all out on stage, the crowd goes wilder by the minute. One would think that Jenny is the girl who has it all. And yet, no one knows how much agony a young and successful singer goes through every day. All this is hidden beneath the glamour of her passion -- music, a world that would prove to be too much for her in the end. Witness the heart-wrenching story of a young woman's struggle with fame and loneliness in Lost Inside.
