Maurice Hicks’s New Book, “Looking for Trouble,” Follows the Author’s True Story of Growing Up an Inner-City Child of Baltimore to Becoming a Decorated Police Officer
Author Maurice Hicks is a decorated twenty-year Maryland law enforcement veteran who retired at the rank of lieutenant. He served as the lead investigator of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force for almost three years. Maurice is the recipient of numerous awards and commendations during his tenure in law enforcement in Baltimore City and Prince George’s County. Some of these accolades include two Chief’s Awards of Merit and a Veterans of Foreign Wars Award. Maurice has also worked at the University of Maryland Global Campus for over twenty years in various capacities, including adjunct associate professor, course chair, and peer mentor.
“We live in an era where people hear about violent crime so frequently that they often become desensitized to it,” writes Hicks. “Unfortunately, police officers do not have the luxury of turning the channel. Each violent incident has a profound effect on their physical and emotional well-being. These officers perform their jobs for extraordinarily little money and often with little recognition.
“Many of the officers will relive their nightmares for years to come. Police officers carry the heavy burden of bringing violent assailants to justice. No police department in the country can adequately compensate police officers and detectives for enduring these enormous responsibilities. I want readers to discover one aspect of police work: the impact of public service on our families.
“I commend all the men and women employed by state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies. These officers risk their lives daily to bring violent criminals to justice. The police profession represents a unique subculture that has a strong desire to protect its members. Like many other organizations, they employ good people and bad people. In writing this book, my goal is to provide a realistic look at the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the citizens, suspects, and officers I encountered during my first ten years in the law enforcement profession.”
Published by Fulton Books, Maurice Hicks’s book is a poignant and stirring tale that will take readers on a captivating journey as the author recounts his life’s path from humble beginnings to incredible success and fulfillment. Expertly paced and deeply personal, Hicks weaves a compelling memoir that readers won’t be able to put down and is sure to stay with them long after its conclusion.
Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “Looking for Trouble” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

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.

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.
