Author Mark Coats’s New Book, “Deterring Wolves and Other Predators,” Helps Readers Become Aware of the Possibility of Predatory Pressures
Although author Mark Coats wasn’t raised on a multigenerational ranch because his father left that ranch to fight in World War II and upon his return was discharged to San Diego, California. Mark’s father fell in love with California and its climate and spent the rest of his life here.
His father never lost the desire of being involved in agricultural endeavors and passed that love on to Mark. Although a modest five-acre ranchette, it afforded Mark many opportunities. At an early age, Mark was raising and selling pigs and sheep, as well as training and trading a few horses.
Mark’s first ranching job at the age of thirteen was helping out at a purebred Charolais Ranch in Manteca, California. His obligations were tending a string of show cattle, as well as helping with general ranch work, which included almonds. His second job was in Clovis, California. It was for another purebred outfit. The breed, though, happened to be Brahman. Mark’s first cow owned was at the age of fifteen, and that cow was a registered Brahman.
The list of ranches Mark worked for continued, encompassing a lot of countries throughout the West. They included California, Nevada, and Oregon. Those experiences were on public lands or large ranches and from the back of a horse.
Mark’s first ranch management job was at the age of twenty-one. It was the same year that he married his high school sweetheart. Their combined efforts have kept them active in the ranching business to this day.
In 2004, they purchased a ranch in Dorris, California, and left Oakdale, California, where they had made their home for nineteen years.
In 2011, the wolf passed through their ranch. Being active in the local Cattlemen’s Association, as well as other community boards and advisory positions, Mark sought solutions to keep his ranching operation viable.
In 2015, Mark received a grant from the USFWS for writing a paper and producing a DVD for his deterring efforts of predator awareness. He has been published in quite a few newspapers and magazines, interviewed on the radio, and was asked to speak at different events. In 2016, he started a website, www.rancherpredatorawareness.com. The efforts of sharing these experiences and techniques are to inform the public that proactive stewardship may not fit into everyone’s program, but it is an effective method in mitigating the risk of predator versus livestock encounters.
Mark writes, “Although many deterrents engage the predators, that in itself is their drawback—by repeatedly engaging you risk desensitizing the predators. It’s not much different from working with a young colt. The more time you spend with the colt, the more comfortable the colt becomes. The more contact the predators receive, the more comfortable they become.”
Published by Page Publishing, Mark Coats’s useful work offers helpful information to help readers understand and prepare for the threats around them.

Sandra Haynes’s New Novel “Fate” Follows Two Lives Changed by a Single Meeting
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Sandra Haynes has released a new novel, "Fate," a romance built around one chance meeting between two people and how that meeting reshapes both of their lives. The book is out now through Newman Springs Publishing and is available at major retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
The story follows two characters whose paths cross unexpectedly, according to the announcement, setting off a relationship neither one saw coming. From there, the book traces how that single encounter ripples outward, testing the couple through what the announcement describes as life’s unpredictable challenges while they try to build something lasting without losing their individual sense of self.
Haynes has described the novel as an attempt to work through some of the bigger questions romance fiction tends to circle back to: what draws two particular people together, how a couple holds together under strain, and what it actually takes to build a life with someone else. "Through writing this story, I wanted to capture the essence of how love transforms us," Haynes said in the announcement. "Every relationship contains its own unique adventure, and I hope readers see their own experiences reflected in these pages."
No detailed author biography accompanied the release, so how "Fate" fits into any earlier work by Haynes isn’t clear from the material provided. The premise — a single fateful encounter reshaping two lives — sits within a long tradition in romance fiction of chance-meeting narratives, a structure readers of the genre will likely recognize.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the interesting question with a book like this isn’t the plot, which follows a familiar romance template, but whether Haynes’s take on "transformation through connection" gives readers something more specific than the setup promises.

New Novel “Uncharted Life” Follows a Bestselling Author Confronting His Father’s Murder Trial
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Theresa A. Bandaccari-Stephens has published a new novel, "Uncharted Life," a 310-page work centered on Daniel Carlson, a bestselling author whose career takes off just as his family collapses. According to the announcement, Daniel’s father is set to stand trial for murder, in a case tied to the death of Daniel’s mother and an attack that also targeted Daniel himself.
The book follows Daniel as he tries to rebuild after losing what the announcement describes as his greatest source of support, while also confronting his feelings for Lisa, a childhood friend who stayed close to him despite what the author describes as his neglect. The publisher frames the novel around themes of resilience, forgiveness, and self-discovery, and poses the question of whether Daniel can build a stable life while still processing trauma and reckoning with relationships he let slide.
"I wanted to tell a story about survival and the possibility of redemption," Bandaccari-Stephens said in the announcement. "Daniel’s journey reflects how we all must sometimes find our strength from within when those we love most are no longer present."
Bandaccari-Stephens lives in California with her husband, Michael, and their two cats and two dogs. Before this novel, she published two poetry anthology collections. According to the announcement, she draws on a range of professional experience and writes primarily about settings and situations she knows firsthand.
"Uncharted Life" is published through Newman Springs Publishing and is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Bandaccari-Stephens’ move from poetry into long-form fiction is received, given that this marks her first novel-length work.
