Author Brian Donahower’s New Book, “The Adventures of Abby and Annie the Pug: Book 1: A Million Kisses,” Tells the Captivating Escapades of a Young Girl and Her Puppy
A Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique level 2 practitioner, Brian Donahower holds a BS in health education and an MS in education. The author is profiled in “Who’s Who in America: 2022” and is a leading voice in the metaphysical community worldwide. Donahower is a decorated fourteen-year U.S. Army veteran and has previously published contemporary poetry and several short stories of spiritual encouragement and awareness.
“Before Annie, eight-year-old Abby sometimes felt alone and at other times, even a little sad,” writes Donahower. “It wasn’t like she felt sorry for herself—Abby wasn’t that way. Although she was deaf, she knew it was a choice to be happy, and on her seventh birthday, Abby simply decided that being happy didn’t need a reason, and that was that! Abby’s mom always reminded her it was okay to express what she felt, even if it was not positive, but in a healthy way that was respectful to herself and others. Still, it was difficult for Abby to communicate what she was feeling at times. Annie, the pug, changed all that.
“Both Abby and Annie lived in very quiet worlds because of their deafness, not that it mattered to them though. They didn’t know anything different, and neither saw it as an impediment. Instead, it deeply connected the two and served as their unique perspective of the world around them.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Brian Donahower’s sweet and moving tale follows Abby and Annie as they fearlessly explore all they can reach in the world as they learn about the magnificence of nature, the power of being in the moment, the joy of gratitude, and how to love and be loved in return. Readers of all ages will discover exciting adventures that bring challenges both heroes will have to overcome together as they grow in understanding and awareness of each other and, ultimately, themselves.
With vivid artwork to help bring Donahower’s tale to life, “The Adventures of Abby and Annie the Pug” is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of young readers from all over, inviting them to relive this heartwarming tale over and over again.
Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “The Adventures of Abby and Annie the Pug: Book 1: A Million Kisses” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Ann Aschauer has released "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," a book built around a real outreach event two Michigan women created by reworking Halloween into a Christian production. According to the announcement, the expanded title reads "Satan’s Worst Nightmare: A Testimony of Recognizing, Fighting and Winning Today’s Spiritual Warfare" and it follows two small-town mothers, identified as Annie and Kelly, during the initial development of what the publisher calls a potentially unprecedented theatrical work: the story of Christ’s Resurrection told from Satan’s point of view.
The book arrives from Covenant Books, a Christian publishing house, and comes after Aschauer’s earlier novels including "Counselor," "Vision," and "Sparrows," as well as her prior nonfiction publications. Aschauer has a background in theater, playwriting and drama education, and taught middle school English and drama, experience the publisher says shaped how she reconstructed the obstacles the two women faced in building the event.
The narrative frames the project as spiritual warfare in a literal sense — prayer, obstacles, and what the release calls attacks and opposition standing between the women and a finished outreach. "This story shows that God can use anyone to do remarkable things that bring Him glory," Aschauer said in the announcement, adding that the original event became a testimony to everyone who helped build it. "I pray readers will see their own potential to make a difference in ways they never imagined possible," she said.
The book is being sold through bookstores and online retailers including Amazon, Apple’s iTunes Store, Google Play and Barnes and Noble, per the publisher.
What the announcement doesn’t specify is how the original event has evolved since — whether "Satan’s Worst Nightmare" is still staged annually in the women’s community, or whether the book is meant to document a one-time production. That detail is left to readers to find on their own.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Aschauer’s career trajectory as instructive for faith-based creators working in theatrical spaces. Her progression from drama educator to playwright to novelist reveals how technical storytelling craft and spiritual conviction can reinforce each other. By teaching middle school drama, she developed an intuitive understanding of how audiences connect with narrative—not through sermon, but through character, conflict, and transformation. That foundation shapes how she approaches faith narratives: not as didactic messages, but as dramatic experiences. Her earlier novels like "Counselor" and "Vision" suggest an author learning to weave theological themes into structured plots. With "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," Aschauer applies those hard-won skills to document a real community event, transforming grassroots ministry into publishable testimony. For Christian creators, her arc demonstrates that investing in craft—understanding how stories actually move people—strengthens rather than dilutes faith-centered work.

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.
