FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FROM STAGE TO STORY: NICOLE NEWMAN TRANSFORMS HER HIT STAGE PLAYS

INTO INSPIRATIONAL NOVELS

​

[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.

​

Nicole Newman is no stranger to the spotlight. As the founder of O–Live! Theatre and former head of Church Stars Network, she has long been a trailblazer in faith-based storytelling. She currently serves as Chief of Staff at Hope Assembly in Phoenix, where she leads over 100 volunteers and produces the digital series Hope Chat: The After Show.

​

With The Franklins, Newman brings her signature blend of heart, faith, and family drama from the stage to the page—inviting longtime fans and new readers alike to experience the power of redemption, legacy, and love in a fresh format. The Franklins is the first in a planned series of novel adaptations based on her original stage plays.
