The first sentence is perfectly fine.
In the second sentence 'modest' would be a better descriptive word than 'humble'.
Number 3, has put HER in the limelight, not SHE. You could also say 'latest book' instead of 'last book'.

I would use "co-star" in the first sentence, rather than "partner". Paul has answered well about "limelight."
