[ad_1]
Workman’s books are known for their unique storytelling style, realistic details, deep characterization, and sensitive handling of serious social issues. She fearlessly tackles topics such as mental illness, addiction, homelessness, and human trafficking, evoking a range of emotions from readers.
Sanctuary in the Stream is the ninth book in Workman’s Parks Pat Mysteries series, a police procedural set in picturesque parks in and around Calgary, Alberta. Workman’s impressive body of work includes several other notable series, such as Auntie Clem’s Bakery cozy mysteries, Reg Rawlins Psychic Investigator paranormal mysteries, Zachary Goldman Mysteries (PI), Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thrillers, and award-winning YA series Between the Cracks and Tamara’s Teardrops.
With the publication of her 100th book, Workman once again demonstrates her exceptional talent for writing gripping, thought-provoking stories that keep readers on the edge of their seats. Whether it’s a cozy mystery or a darker, grittier thriller, her books are packed with page-turning prose and complex characters that readers can’t help but root for.
“I’m really excited to reach this milestone,” says Workman. “I have always loved writing. I feel compelled to write. When I see an injustice, I want to tell people about it and make them see it. The way I communicate those things is through story. I always say that I have the best readers. They are amazing. I’m so grateful for those who have bought my books, spread the word, and been my cheerleaders over the years.
Sanctuary in the Stream, A Parks Pat Mystery, is set to launch on June 16. Fans of P.D. Workman’s previous work won’t want to miss this newest addition to her impressive body of work. With her 100th book, Workman cements her place as one of Canada’s most prolific writers. (pdworkman.com/canada-prolific-authors/)

“I am a big fan of mysteries whether they are Cozy or more hard core. Either way, you can’t go wrong with books by P.D. Workman. For cozies you have the Aunty Clem’s mysteries. If you want a bit of supernatural you can’t go wrong with Reg Rawlins Psychic Investigator.

“P.D. Workman’s books are amazing. The characters in her books are realistic and the challenges they face could be something that yourself or someone you know, are going through or have been through. There is real medical challenges like mental illness and alcoholism. The characters are not perfect and some of their actions aren’t perfect but they are very likeable. When I finish a book, I am excited for the next one in the series. If you haven’t read any of this author’s books, what are you waiting for, you might just find your next favorite author.” – Wanda Siesicki
“P. D. Workman is one of few authors I have found with the ability to glide from one genre to another, seemingly effortlessly, while spinning truly captivating tales that are not only entertaining, but which plumb the depths of some very sensitive social issues. Her diverse array of characters are consistently interesting and engaging regardless of whether they are psychics, private investigators, bakers, or physicians. You will always be treated to an intriguing story with unexpected surprises, plenty of suspense, a bit of danger, and in some of her series, a splash of magic just for fun. With several series and 100 books to her name, you might worry that there will be nothing fresh offered to her readers but fear not, P. D. Workman never fails to deliver a unique story with a solid plot and a satisfying resolution to keep you coming back for more. – Kim Schup

New Children’s Book ‘Sally’s First Day of School’ Frames Bullying Through a Lens of Faith
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
J.B. Richardson has published "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend," a children’s book that follows a young girl navigating bullying and social exclusion at school, according to an announcement from Christian Faith Publishing, which released the book.
The story centers on Sally, a girl whose kindness and gentle nature initially make her a target in a school environment the book describes as rewarding harshness over compassion. Richardson says he based the character on his own eldest daughter, who experienced bullying, and wrote the book for parents looking to help children through similar situations.
The narrative follows Sally as she weighs whether to change herself to fit in or hold onto her own nature, a tension the announcement frames as the book’s central question. Richardson, described in the announcement as a husband and father, says his own experiences with adversity and his path toward what he calls spiritual transformation shaped how he wrote Sally’s struggle.
"I wrote this book to show children that being kind, loving, and true to yourself is never a mistake," Richardson said in the announcement. "When we anchor our identities in faith rather than peer approval, we discover a strength that no amount of bullying can diminish."
The publisher describes the book as aimed at validating children’s experiences with social struggle while pointing them toward faith as a source of resilience. "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend" is available through bookstores and major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-based children’s books addressing bullying, a topic that remains a persistent concern for parents and educators alike regardless of genre.

New Book from Author Esther Gómez Offers Hispanic Families a Guide Through U.S. Schools
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Esther Gómez has written "Un Milagro en mi Educación," a Spanish-language book aimed at Hispanic families navigating American schools, published this year through Christian Faith Publishing. The book is available in paperback and runs 19.91 euros in some European listings, with an ISBN of 9798897854349.
Gómez, an educator, draws on years of working with students making the transition into English-language classrooms. According to the announcement, the book pairs her professional background with testimonies from students who worked through that transition, aiming to give families concrete steps rather than general encouragement.
The book is structured around both practical guidance and religious framing. The publisher’s description points to two recurring scriptural references: Hebrews 13:5 and Philippians 4:13, which Gómez uses to frame perseverance through academic setbacks as tied to faith. "My greatest joy comes from helping Hispanic families recognize that their dreams of academic achievement are not only possible but within reach," Gómez said in the announcement. "I’ve seen students overcome remarkable challenges when given proper tools, familial support, and faith-centered perspective."
The publisher describes the book as integrating practical strategies, authentic narratives, and faith-based support to help readers overcome language obstacles and cultural transitions within American educational settings. It’s being sold through major retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble, as well as through Christian Faith Publishing’s own site.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-based guidance aimed at immigrant families navigating American institutions, a niche with real demand even when any single title reaches a modest audience.
