Overview
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT VOICE?
YOU KNOW THE ONE.
Lights, Camera, Action! California, 1974. Trapped in the sunswept beauty, Lori Vogt hides her inner torment beneath a cheeky cheer. Worried her reckless, forbidden loves have left her abandoned by her friends and family, the vivacious twenty-year-old can't escape the tides of disgrace slowly drowning her. So with death whispering seductive promises in her ear, she gets behind the wheel and heads for a deadly destination.
Tackled by a police officer before she can sprint off the fatal ledge, her despair turns into a fight for acceptance and survival. But with no one in her world that she feels safe to trust with her deepest truths, she continues to love as though her life depends on it because it does.
Can she free herself from the bitterness of bigotry without taking a lethal leap? Or is she destined to self-destruct?
In this brutally honest account, Gregory Fite reveals the complicated tangles created by closing off doors within your own soul. Deftly woven with suspenseful pacing and immersive imagery, anyone reading this story will walk away shocked, empowered... and driven to create change.
YELLOW NOVA is a heart-wrenching and explosive memoir tribute retold by a devoted nephew. If you like page-turning suspense, dark secrets, and captivating voices, then you'll adore Gregory Fite's revealing reflections.

About the Author
WRITING Reimagined
You wouldn’t know it by his gritty, streetwise nature, but what Greg does best is bring emotion and energy to life through the written word. Abstract and elegant, he draws audiences in with his bold, poetic style; they love, fight, cry, and celebrate along with the characters as though the story was unfolding before their very eyes.
Inspired by everything from Dale Earnhardt to the gothic cathedrals towering over Paris and Rome, Greg is the world’s most unlikely writer. With an intellect, defined early on by years of failing grades, a high school English teacher who began pushing him beyond his bad boy comfort zone recognized his secret love of literature, forever changing his life. After conquering Mrs. Lange’s honors class his senior year, he shelved his passion for writing unless friends and family asked him to pen their holiday or anniversary cards. Seeing people moved by his words always made Greg smile, but the idea of sharing his stories with the world forever seemed hopelessly impossible.
Fast forward to 2018. A conversation with his cousin about an almost forgotten family tragedy got him thinking about those with comparable stories who have nowhere to turn but to the unthinkable. A year later, a chance encounter moved him to step out of the shadows and rediscover his passion for writing. Three gut-wrenching years later, YELLOW NOVA was complete. Since that fateful moment, Greg knew he had created a reading experience radically different from established publishing traditions.
Driven to confront his demons after losing three family members to suicide and a lifetime spent secretly battling anxiety, Greg writes to find meaning in the mysteries of life. He writes to manifest his dreams into reality. He writes because in those moments he's totally free, bound only by the confines of his imagination.
A true romantic at heart, Greg is a study of contrasts, fueled by a burning desire to bare his soul like no storyteller before him. An impassioned blend of insight and intensity, his love of coloring outside the lines, comes second only to spending time with his beloved family and friends, which includes a handsome pup named Diesel, a distinguished orange tabby named Wildman, and a magical black cat named Houdini. And when this die-hard motocross fanatic isn't busy crafting his next line, he enjoys watching classic monster movies, surfing, and getting lost in a timeless piece of music.
