Martin Black’s New Book, “The Street Bible,” is a Series of Letters Written from the Author for His Son, Providing Life Lessons He Wished He Had Received While Growing Up
[ad_1]
A former career criminal who turned his life around, author Martin Black currently works as a street evangelist and pastor of God’s Universal Truth and Love Center. Black also founded and serves as CEO of Outlaws Only and is the managing director of Codex-Global, a premier and highly affordable software and website development company.
As Black writes, “My primary purpose for compiling this great body of work was to teach my son everything I wished my father would have been able to teach me before he was murdered, and answer those countless questions I once had with no one to answer them. As you can see, I tried to cover all bases and left no stone unturned. That’s why this book is so voluminous. Despite my efforts, I know I must have missed a few things, and so I tried to make up for my shortcomings by covering the topics I did cover as deeply as I did, never thinking about, much less consider whom I would be pissing off in the process.”
Published by Fulton Books, Martin Black’s book is a powerful and deeply personal story that recounts the incredible journey the author took to change his life around for the better after accepting Christ’s teachings into his heart. Holding nothing back, Black shares his wealth of worldly knowledge of the “dos” and “don’ts” of life, and how to recognize and avoid the countless perils and pitfalls that one will encounter during their life’s journey.
Emotionally charged and spellbinding, “The Street Bible” is a captivating must-read that will connect with readers of all backgrounds, encouraging them to learn from the author’s mistakes and gain new insight and knowledge about the difficulties and struggles of life from his past. In addition, Martin has carefully composed songs for each chapter of the book. This read is a one-of-a-kind that comes with its own soundtrack.
Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “The Street Bible: Father to Son, How the Hue-Man Race Is Won” at select bookstores, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Scottsdale Author Joe Reina’s New Novel Follows a Killer Who Gets Away With It
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Shadows over Scottsdale: An Unsolved Murder Mystery," built around a scenario true-crime statistics make uncomfortably familiar: a man commits a devastating crime and simply disappears, leaving investigators and a grieving community with no resolution.
The book follows a character named Robert, who flees the country using forged documents and a cargo ship after an act of destruction that leaves behind, as the publisher describes it, charred remains and an unanswered investigation. The case goes cold. The novel, according to its publisher, is less concerned with the mechanics of the escape than with what happens afterward, to the people left waiting for answers that never come.
Reina, now retired in Scottsdale, spent decades in international business across apparel, footwear, and real estate, with extensive time in Europe and a particular connection to Italy that shaped two earlier books, "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen" and "A Love Affair in Tuscany." "Shadows over Scottsdale" marks a different direction, built instead around the real scale of unsolved homicide in the U.S. The publisher’s materials cite roughly 346,000 unsolved homicides since 1965, with more than a dozen occurring unresolved each day. Separate reporting on the book has cited a figure of about 7,778 murders in 2023 alone, which it similarly frames as more than a dozen a day going unresolved.
"Writing ‘Shadows over Scottsdale’ forced me to confront uncomfortable questions about justice itself," Reina said, according to the announcement. "Too many crimes go unsolved, too many families wait endlessly for answers. I wanted readers to understand that behind every cold case statistic is a real story, real suffering, and real questions that may never be answered."
The publisher positions the novel as an examination of institutional limits as much as a crime story: the toll of a case gone cold on the people who can’t move past it, and what it means for a community when accountability simply never arrives.
"Shadows over Scottsdale" is published by Covenant Books and is available in paperback and hardcover through the publisher’s website and major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.
Cold-case statistics tend to get cited and then forgotten. Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether fiction built directly around that number does more to stick with a reader than the number alone ever does.

Joe Reina’s ‘Lost Masterpieces’ Imagines a Fictional Farewell Among Renaissance Painters
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Lost Masterpieces: Three Paintings, 500 Years A Journey Through Time," built around an imagined scene from Renaissance history: the night before Leonardo da Vinci leaves for Milan, when three fellow painters each hand him a small work carrying a private message.
According to the announcement, those three gifts come from Sandro Botticelli, Titian, and Andrea Mantegna, each painting standing in for a different kind of counsel. Botticelli’s piece is described as layered with allegory and coded warnings about power and patronage. Titian’s is framed as warm and sensual, suggesting reinvention and a break from convention. Mantegna’s is austere and classically precise, encoding discipline and endurance. According to the announcement, these three paintings form a wordless exchange between masters, transmitting wisdom, mutual regard, and assurance across generations through visual means.
Reina comes to this material from outside the art world. His career was built in apparel, footwear, and real estate development in Chicago, and the publisher’s materials trace his interest in European history, and in Italy specifically, to years of international business travel. He has published several previous books, including "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen," "A Love Affair in Tuscany," and "Shadows over Scottsdale," before turning to this account of a fictionalized moment at the hinge of the Renaissance.
"I wanted to capture that extraordinary moment when masters speak to each other across time through their work," Reina said in the announcement. "These paintings represent not just gifts, but a conversation about what it means to pursue greatness while remaining grounded in purpose and principle."
The book is published through Covenant Books and is available in hardcover and paperback, as well as through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry is intrigued by novels that build fiction around real historical figures at a specific, dramatized turning point rather than attempting straight biography — the approach succeeds or fails based on how seamlessly the fictional moment integrates with documented historical fact.
