Doug Norgren and Barb Lund’s Newly Released “KISS SPIRIT” is a Helpful Companion for Anyone Working the Steps Toward Sobriety and Healing


Duluth, MN, March 22, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “KISS SPIRIT”: a potent reminder of the need to keep the faith and allow a bit of humor to lighten a challenging experience. “KISS SPIRIT” is the creation of published authors, Doug Norgren and Barb Lund.

Norgren and Lund share, “KISS SPIRIT is an inspirational book filled with HOPE and GRATITUDE. The book is mind-expanding and very practical. Tidbits and golden nuggets can be found throughout. A lip-lock here and a smooch there.

The twelve STEPS are the heartbeat of KISS SPIRIT. They make for a fabulous attitude adjustment. Fun acronyms and humor are embedded in KISS SPIRIT.

This book shows that the twelve steps make for a great foundation for a saner, less chaotic, drama-free life and are an extraordinary design for living in an insane world. The twelve steps are the blueprint for a saner life. After all many, many, many support groups worldwide utilize the twelve steps in their recoveries to sanity. Incidentally, a support group is not necessary to incorporate the twelve steps into your life. Some of them you may even be living with right now. KISS SPIRIT softens up the twelve steps via simplification.

This book has many helpful hints for all who want more sanity in their lives. Techniques, slogans, and simple suggestions can pave their way. Mind-food nourishment for a personal recovery to sanity, KISS SPIRIT shines a light on the fact that our sanity depends on our spirituality and that spirituality doesn’t need to be a scary thing for some. A wider sphere of spirituality does do wonders. Spirituality does pop us in the nose wherever we go and whatever we do. Spirituality is ingrained in all we do. Our choice of spirits does determine our sanity or lack thereof.

KISS SPIRIT is a quick read, packed with a whole lotta payoff. The payoff is more sanity and spiritual enhancement, one page after another.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Doug Norgren and Barb Lund’s new book will challenge and empower readers in their work toward reaching and maintaining sobriety.

Norgren and Lund share in hope of providing helpful insight through personal experience and observation to bring lasting health to those in need.

Consumers can purchase “KISS SPIRIT” 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

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.
