Robert Strayer’s Newly Released “Gettysburg Romance” is a Delightfully Crafted Paranormal Romance That Will Excite the Imagination


York, PA, March 17, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Gettysburg Romance”: an engaging tale that blends history, romance, and a touch of the paranormal. “Gettysburg Romance” is the creation of published author, Robert Strayer, a retired electrician (residential/commercial/industrial) with plus-fifteen years’ experience working on industrial overhead cranes, still working full time driving high-reach forklift for his “fun job.” He runs online stores on Etsy and writes mostly children’s books in English and Spanish. He has six years’ service in the US Air Force as a law enforcement specialist from 1971 to 1977, volunteered for one-year duty working with US Army on town patrol, Okinawa 1973, and also two years working as a licensed private investigator in the state of Pennsylvania. He is married, has three daughters and six grandchildren.

Strayer shares, “Gettysburg is a picturesque town in south central Pennsylvania. Named after Samuel Gettys, who was an Irish settler and tavern owner in the late 1770s, Gettysburg became famous during the American Civil War. On July 1 to July 3, 1863, it was the scene of the bloodiest single battle of the war, with more than fifty thousand casualties. The dead were not just on the battlefield but also throughout the entire town. Hotels, stores, and houses became makeshift hospitals and morgues.

“Robert Lucas was a thirty-year-old handsome and extremely successful businessman from modern-day New York city engaged to be married to Florence, whom he had known for two years now. Florence was a successful, very wealthy, and beautiful businesswoman in the city. Robert had no choice in coming to present-day Gettysburg for the one-week business conference.

“Why did his company choose Gettysburg?

“Staying at the historic Harker House Hotel, built in 1853, he met Caroline Harker, whose family owned the beautiful old establishment. She was twenty-four years old, long brown hair, very beautiful and petite, slightly old-fashioned in her ways. When he first looked into her beautiful blue eyes, it was as if he knew her from before. Maybe they were soul mates? Maybe it was a previous lifetime? Just as Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War, this will be the turning point in Robert’s life. Will he go back to Florence in the big city, or will he choose young Caroline? Or does the universe and fate have other plans for him?

“The ending of this story will change Robert’s life forever and those who love him.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Robert Strayer’s new book will have readers racing to see just who Caroline may be.

Strayer balances a believable romance with a surprise twist of fate that will delight the imagination.

Consumers can purchase “Gettysburg Romance” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Releases Novel About First Responder’s Life After 9/11 at No Cost

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author Erin Strong is offering her novel "She Never Left Ground Zero: A Novel of Courage, Love, and the Hidden Cost of 9/11" as a free download through September 30, according to the announcement. No registration, email address, purchase, subscription, or review is required, and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

The novel is fiction but draws on the real experience of an NYPD officer, per the announcement. It centers on Sofia Vega, an NYPD officer whose work amid the smoke and debris in the aftermath leads to lasting consequences she and her family must face. Strong has said she wanted to write about what happened to first responders and their families after press coverage of the attacks faded — a theme that echoes a broader body of anniversary-year 9/11 literature, including nonfiction essay collections and survivor accounts published or reissued around the same milestone.

According to Strong, "I wanted to tell a deeply personal story about what happened after the television cameras moved on." "Many first responders and their families continued living with the consequences of September 11 for years. This novel honors their courage, their sacrifices, and the people who loved them through it all."

The free download is available at sheneverleftgroundzero.com. The book will also remain for sale on Amazon and other retailers after the promotional window closes. Strong’s team can be reached through the same website or by phone.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Strong’s September timing as a textbook example of anniversary marketing strategy. Major commemorative dates like the 25th anniversary of 9/11 generate enormous search volume and media attention—precisely when potential readers are already thinking about the subject matter. By anchoring a free promotion to this peak-interest window, authors capture visibility they’d need to spend significantly on advertising to achieve otherwise. The counterintuitive logic: giving away the book for free during high-traffic periods can actually drive more long-term sales than traditional paid campaigns, because it builds audience reach, generates word-of-mouth momentum, and establishes the title in readers’ minds before the promotional window closes. When the book returns to paid status in October, those who downloaded it free become natural candidates for follow-up engagement—reviews, recommendations, and future purchases. It’s a calculated play on consumer psychology and search behavior that extends the book’s commercial lifespan well beyond September.

New Fantasy Novel Explores Orphan’s Journey Through Magic and Danger

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author C. A. Ballard has released a debut fantasy novel, "The Lost Legacy," following a young orphan protagonist drawn into a battle against a malevolent force seeking to strip the world of its magical power, according to the publisher’s announcement.

The book comes from Newman Springs Publishing, a New Jersey-based author-services publisher that works with writers across genres to produce and distribute their books; the company is handling both publication and promotion for the title. The novel is available in stores and through major digital retailers, including Amazon, Apple, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.

According to the publisher, Zara must safeguard her sibling while partnering with an ensemble of fantastical beings including fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings to combat darkness — against an antagonist seeking to strip the world of its magic.

Ballard, described in the release as a wife, mother and grandmother with a background in accounting and medical billing, said medical challenges led her to pursue creative endeavors. "I wanted to craft deeply engaging stories about everyday individuals finding remarkable capabilities within themselves," Ballard said in a statement. "Zara’s story is about finding your tribe, embracing your power, and refusing to surrender to darkness." The publisher’s announcement notes additional projects from Ballard are already in development.

There is no independent review coverage of "The Lost Legacy" available yet; retail listings confirm the book’s publication details but do not offer critical assessment. Readers interested in the book can find purchase links through the publisher’s website or major retailers.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that Ballard’s ensemble approach—layering fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings alongside a resourceful orphan protagonist—speaks directly to a defining shift in contemporary fantasy publishing. Today’s YA and new-adult readers expect worldbuilding that extends beyond a single chosen one; they crave diverse supernatural allies and complex team dynamics that reflect both traditional mythology and modern storytelling sensibilities. Zara’s "finding your tribe" arc taps into this broader cultural moment where belonging and chosen family rival the hero’s individual journey. As the fantasy market continues to reward narratives emphasizing collective strength over solitary heroism, Ballard’s decision to populate her world with multiple fantastical perspectives positions "The Lost Legacy" within reader expectations that have reshaped the genre over the past five years. This matters because debut authors who understand—and authentically execute—these ensemble-driven narratives are better positioned to build engaged readerships from launch.
