LaToya R. Thompson’s New Book, “Preston’s Peculiar Pencils,” Follows a Young Boy Who, After Realizing His Special Pencils Are Missing, Goes on an Imaginative Adventure


Frederick, MD, April 21, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author LaToya R. Thompson, a strategic communicator, author, and educator from Los Angeles, California, has completed her most recent book, “Preston’s Peculiar Pencils”: a charming story centered around a young boy with a vivid imagination who often finds himself getting distracted during the day at school.

Residing with her family in a quaint community in Frederick, Maryland, author LaToya R. Thompson has dedicated the last eighteen years of her teaching career to promoting children’s literacy and instructional development. Exposing children to a diverse collection of quality literature with intellectually rich vocabulary, inclusive of varied reading concepts, is what inspires her to write stories. She enjoys writing about events that happen at school because life as a teacher is always an adventure. She appreciates revealing new lessons that promote critical thinking, and the creative humor in personifying objects and introducing endearing characters through topics relevant to young readers and families.

LaToya shares, “What if you were in a classroom where everything came to life, yet no one else seemed to notice? Something unique is happening to Preston, and it’s posing a small problem. Peculiar events are causing him to see the world in an entirely new way. Escaping to enjoy the adventure is thrilling, but also a little distracting. Discovering where to find help will be his greatest solution to this challenge.”

Published by Fulton Books, LaToya R. Thompson’s book is inspired by the author’s desire to empower, encourage, engage, and inspire children through reading. With vibrant artwork to help bring Thompson’s story to life, “Preston’s Peculiar Pencils” will help readers of all ages understand that, when used in the right settings, an active mind and imagination is a wonderful tool.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Preston’s Peculiar Pencils” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Independent Filmmaker and Tech Entrepreneur Jeffrey Ikahn Announces New Feature Film Candy Flip (2026) and Social-Tech Ventures

Independent Filmmaker and Tech Entrepreneur Jeffrey Ikahn Announces New Feature Film Candy Flip (2026) and Social-Tech Ventures


Los Angeles, CA, October 31, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Independent filmmaker, producer, and creative visionary Jeffrey Ikahn today announced the upcoming release of his new feature film Candy Flip (2026), alongside several technology ventures designed to reshape how audiences and creators connect online. Ikahn’s dual focus on storytelling and innovation positions him at the intersection of film, social engagement, and the evolving digital frontier.

Candy Flip is a “dramady” feature produced through Argonaut Media Group, Latigo Films in association with Handshake Partners Entertainment and directed by Ikahn.

The film stars Matt Rife, Cole Carter, Jessica Belkin, and Danielle Loving.

Set amid the electric chaos of an exclusive influencer party in Los Angeles, Candy Flip follows a night where fame, illusion, and reality collide. When a group of social media stars and creative elites experiment with a candy-flip — the potent fusion of LSD and MDMA — their euphoric escape turns into an existential free fall. As the night unfolds, filters fade and facades fracture. Beneath the glitter and neon, each character confronts the truth they’ve been performing to avoid: their doubt, loneliness, and desperate need to be seen.

The main character’s trip becomes a descent into self-awareness — a fever dream of memories, fears, and fantasies colliding in hallucinatory clarity. Surrounded by peers who live for attention but starve for connection, they begin to question what’s real, what’s curated, and what remains when the likes disappear. In the chaos of their shared unraveling, egos dissolve, alliances crumble, and a profound realization emerges: sometimes, you have to lose your identity to find your humanity.

“Storytelling has always been about connection,” said Ikahn. “As technology evolves, so should the ways we share those stories — whether through film, social platforms, or entirely new mediums.”

In addition to his filmmaking career, Ikahn is currently building technology companies in the social and media space, developing platforms that empower independent artists, creators, and filmmakers to grow authentic audiences and monetize their creative influence. His work integrates art, entrepreneurship, and innovation — shaping how culture, content, and connection intersect.

Ikahn’s mission with Argonaut Media Group and his upcoming ventures is to bridge the worlds of entertainment and technology — empowering creators to tell impactful stories and audiences to experience them in transformative new ways.

Author James Boudon’s New Book, “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse,” Introduces Julia Percy, the Leader of Calvary, as She Fights to Escape Her Captors and Save Humanity

Author James Boudon’s New Book, “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse,” Introduces Julia Percy, the Leader of Calvary, as She Fights to Escape Her Captors and Save Humanity


Port Allegany, PA, October 30, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– James Boudon, a graduate of the University of Rochester with a degree in English, has completed his new book, “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse”: an enthralling novel that follows Percy as she discovers a nefarious scheme after she and three of her teammates have been abducted by these same rebels while returning from a three-month sabbatical on the distant planet Illyria. Percy herself is subsequently disabled and transformed into a human robot subservient to every whim of her archnemesis, Joshua Winston, who is the leader of the rebels. Meanwhile, the other members of Calvary still on Earth face their own problems as their headquarters is attacked by an advance group of the Gehadeans who seek to sideline the team from averting the impending apocalypse.

Author James Boudon began dabbling at writing short stories in the fourth grade and moved on to creating a comic book called “Rabbitman” during high school and a “Star Trek” novella during college. He has also written numerous poems and song lyrics. He currently works as a rural mail carrier for the US Postal Service and spends his spare time enjoying golf, hiking, and other outdoor activities when he is not writing. He lives in the beautiful hills and countryside of north central Pennsylvania in a rather remote area where the wildlife outnumbers the people.

Boudon writes, “Julia Kristina Percy sighed as a cool breeze from the oscillating floor fan wafted across her scantily clad sculpted physique. Simultaneously upon the memory-sphere player, Impala Quiff, ‘IQ,’ launched into a squealing high-octane guitar solo. Percy moaned contentedly and closed her eyes as the familiar rock ballad evoked a myriad of all-but-forgotten nostalgia. She was reclining on a lounge chair in the living space of her hotel suite. She had just returned from a vigorous workout in the resort’s large pool and was still clad solely in her olive-green bikini. Lead vocalist Nigel Jape resumed crooning the tune’s lyrics in his scintillating and dulcet tones.”

Published by Page Publishing, James Boudon’s memorable tale invites readers to discover whether Percy will be able to return to her home world ahead of the Bellerophon. Otherwise, all life on the planet will be incinerated, and humanity itself will be erased from existence within the universe.

Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
