Author David F. D’Orazi’s New Book, “Is Everybody Happy?” Reveals the Turbulent Life the Author’s Sister Endured as a Young Rising Hollywood Star with Mental Illness
[ad_1]
Born in Eagle Rock, a small neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, author David D’Orazi became a very successful salesman at the early age of nine, delivering newspapers. Now fifty-plus years later, he continues to sell and continues to write and still continues to be a very successful salesman. David is an alumnus of UC Irvine and Cal State Los Angeles and enjoys reading motivational books as well as being a huge LA Dodger baseball fan.
“Kathy D’Orazi, who went by the stage name Kathy O’Dare, seemed destined to become a Hollywood star,” writes David. “After entering the world of entertainment at the age of three, she soon blossomed into a multi-talented performer and in her teen years won starring roles on some of the 1970’s most popular TV shows, including ‘Happy Days’ and ‘The Brady Bunch.’ As her ascent continued, she went on to appear in several notable feature films, until her path to stardom was interrupted when she began to struggle with mental illness during her late teens.”
Published by Page Publishing, David F. D’Orazi’s enthralling tale is the author’s second biography of a family member, with his first book “The In-Between Artist,” published in March of 2020, telling his father’s life story. Drawing on his own memories of his sister, as well as her actual notes, journals, and scrapbooks she’d kept throughout her lifetime, David weaves a deeply personal and moving story about stardom, family, compassion, hope, and the challenges of coping with mental illness.
Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase “Is Everybody Happy? The Untold Story of Kathy O’Dare A Hollywood Starlet and Her Struggles with Mental Illness” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Suzanne Hobbs Follows Up Debut Children’s Book with “The Sleepy Snake,” a Bedtime Sequel to “The Hungry Snake”
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Suzanne Hobbs’s latest release through Page Publishing, "The Sleepy Snake: A Perfect Bedtime Story," chronicles a weary serpent moving through various locations seeking an ideal sleeping spot.
The book is a follow-up to Hobbs’s debut, "The Hungry Snake," which introduced the same snake on a different kind of search: a hungry trek through a cast of curious animals in pursuit of the perfect meal. Where that first book ran on appetite, this one runs on exhaustion, with the snake encountering a series of unlikely resting spots before finding one that suits him.
Hobbs spent close to fourteen years as a television reporter and news anchor for NBC and CBS affiliates in Idaho, covering court and crime stories. According to the announcement, a case she covered in 2000 drew her into advocacy for Safe Haven laws, work that led to her own daughter’s adoption in 2003. The announcement describes that history as part of what shapes her writing now, including her attention to themes of safety and comfort for children.
"My hope is that children will see themselves in the sleepy snake’s journey," Hobbs said in the announcement. "This story celebrates the beauty of rest and encourages young readers to imagine their own cozy places where they can feel safe and peaceful."
Page Publishing markets the book as a bedtime resource designed to smooth the shift from being awake to sleeping, featuring invitations for young readers to envision their own creatures and peaceful locations in the story. It’s available through Page Publishing’s site, Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry notes the pairing of the two titles is a clean bit of franchise-building for a picture-book character: one book built around hunger, the other around rest, covering two of the most reliable parts of a child’s daily routine.

New Book from Fifty-Year Accounting Veteran Charles Zeigler Jr. Aims to Demystify the Profession for Beginners
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Charles Zeigler, Jr., a certified management accountant with roughly five decades of experience in accounting and finance, has published "Basic Accounting Theory for Beginners or Those Thinking of a Career," a guide aimed at people weighing accounting as a profession or simply trying to understand how a company’s books work.
The book is built around a single teaching device: a fictional manufacturing company whose transactions readers follow for a full year, from the initial investment through closing the books at year’s end. According to the book’s description, that structure is meant to walk readers through the accounting equation, double-entry bookkeeping, journal entries, and how financial statements come together, building the concepts from first principles rather than treating them as material to memorize for an exam.
Zeigler’s own career included work as an accountant, auditor, controller, and financial analyst, with a focus on industrial cost accounting, according to the announcement. He has worked across corporations in Michigan and California subsidiaries, and describes one formative experience installing new accounting systems into a company culture resistant to the change. That background, per the announcement, shaped his approach to explaining technical material in plain language.
The book also takes on a question aimed squarely at the undecided: accounting or finance. Zeigler lays out, in his own words, which certifications carry weight in the field, what realistic salary and growth trajectories look like, and the paths from staff-level roles up to controller or CFO. It closes with what the book’s description calls personal advice on what tends to separate people who succeed in the field from those who don’t.
"I wanted to create a resource that answers the questions I wish someone had addressed when I was beginning my career," Zeigler said in a statement accompanying the release. "This book demystifies accounting and gives readers the honest perspective they need to make an informed decision about their professional future."
The book is published through Page Publishing and is available at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the real value here less in the bookkeeping mechanics, which plenty of textbooks cover, and more in the career-path candor from someone who’s actually sat in the controller’s chair.
