Michael O’Sheasy’s Newly Released “A Parable and a Warning” is a Thought-Provoking Narrative in the Form of a Parable That Presents an Earnest Warning for the Future


Gainesville, GA, June 08, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “A Parable and a Warning”: a compelling read filled with provocative metaphors. “A Parable and a Warning” is the creation of published author Michael O’Sheasy, a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who received an engineering degree in 1970 from Georgia Institute of Technology and an MBA in 1974 from Georgia State University. Mr. O’Sheasy spent his professional career as an Expert Witness in the electricity industry.

O’Sheasy shares, “A parable is a simple story used to illustrate a lesson for a bigger issue. Oftentimes, a big issue appears so complex and of such a considerable duration that we ignore it, become numbed by its gradualism, or fail to fully comprehend and address it. And do so despite what may be its basic simplicity yet looming with danger as a precipice approaches.

“This parable is based upon three diverse families marooned together on a deserted island. Will they be rescued? If not and it slowly becomes apparent to them, will they be able to sustain and survive indefinitely by adequately sacrificing today and living for both today and tomorrow?

“As you will see, many isolated civilizations have not been able to do so, indefinitely resorting to suicide, cannibalism, and self-destruction. Even civilizations not isolated have collapsed when unable to adjust to the simplest problems as seen with these three families.

“Will they find meaning to live on this deserted island? Will these three families live together cooperatively and unselfishly to obtain and maintain their resources for their survival today and plan for a sustainable tomorrow? Will Darwin’s survival of the fittest dominate? Will they resort to population control, employing voluntary contraception (abstinence), castration, induced abortion, delaying marriage beyond fertility, or infanticide? Do they maintain monogamy?

“Importantly for us, does this parable of limited resources portend a dire future for our country if we live for today while using what we can borrow from our future resources knowing that the debt may need to be repaid tomorrow? Will a pervasive spending today of what we borrow from our future create rampant inflation that is disproportionately harming middle- and lower-income classes? Unfortunately, many of those who govern our country find this very difficult not to do so. Yet we, Americans, must constrain our spending today, or we may be on a path of self-destruction like our islanders could be.

“Will there be a happy ending? You decide.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Michael O’Sheasy’s new book will push readers to consider the future while immersing themselves in a shocking situation.

Consumers can purchase “A Parable and a Warning” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

New Space Opera ‘Cacophony Of Separation’ Follows Two Broken Souls Through a Galactic Empire Built on Subjugation

New Space Opera ‘Cacophony Of Separation’ Follows Two Broken Souls Through a Galactic Empire Built on Subjugation

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Bryan P. Harty has a new novel out: "Cacophony Of Separation," a dark space opera depicting a future in which Earth’s dominant leaders control alien races and subjugated worlds through force. Studio CarryOnHarry received an announcement of the release, published through Newman Springs Publishing.

The book follows two central characters. Boer, a disgraced addict, seeks redemption by facing trials the publisher characterizes as impossible. Rebecca has lost her memory but is driven by vengeance. According to the announcement, the two are on a collision course that will determine whether humanity’s empire survives its own corruption, with ancient powers maneuvering behind the scenes throughout.

The publisher describes Harty’s work as centered on morally ambiguous protagonists and unresolved consequences, with the author’s stated approach avoiding tidy endings in favor of choices that carry lasting weight. The novel’s advertised themes include addiction, redemption, transformation, and the fracturing of empires built on subjugation.

Harty framed the book’s central question in his own words: "This novel asks what we’re willing to become in pursuit of redemption, and whether the cost is ever worth the price. Boer and Rebecca exist in a galaxy that doesn’t forgive weakness, yet both must find strength in the wreckage of their former selves. I wanted to create a space opera that refuses to look away from the brutality of power and the hunger for transformation."

Retail listings describe the book similarly, pitching it as a dark, unflinching look at power, addiction, transformation and the cost of redemption, with cover copy inviting readers to "step into a galaxy where nothing — and no one — is what it seems." The novel is listed for sale in paperback and Kindle editions, alongside Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see whether Harty’s promise of unresolved, morally messy storytelling holds up as more readers weigh in, given how heavily the announcement leans on that distinction.

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.
