Vega Ascendant: The Memoirs of Marie Hebert #3

by Darin Templet

Vega’s self-titled debut album for Euterpe Records is a phenomenal success. Marie soon learns, however, that fame is costly. Only their shared friendship allows the band members to survive the craziness of being rock stars.
With each successful album, Marie and the band witness the unsavory underbelly of the music industry: picky producers, pushy reporters, zealous bodyguards, overeager fans, and other fame-induced trauma.
Marie tries desperately to keep her sanity while riding her new roller coaster life. Little does she realize that her innocence and success may be her undoing when a chart-topping diva feels threatened and plots to destroy her.
Set in the early 1980s, Vega Ascendant continues the story of Marie Hebert as she navigates a world in which rock videos and MTV are still brand new.
