Author D. R. Richards’s New Book, “Never Look Back,” is the Second Book of the Minnow Squad Trilogy, Following the Group Returning to Vietnam for Answers About Their Past


New York, NY, June 16, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– D. R. Richards, who was raised in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, has completed her new book, “Never Look Back”: an exciting novel that invites readers to come along with the Minnow Squad while part of the team pursues those answers back in the jungle and the others take on the mission of helping a friend free her father from international kidnappers. As their efforts take them from the U.S. to Europe, the number of comrades grows along with the specialized assets needed by these older fighters for the underdogs.

Back in Vietnam, the squad is faced with securing their acceptance within the criminal empire known as “The Dragon.” Each in their way, they become integral members of this sinister family. Attacks against the family from outside and within are dealt with, and they uncover the involvement of many players from several countries.

Author D. R. Richards spent most of his early life exploring many different options for employment: from short-order cook to home construction, from lifeguard to first responder for a local volunteer ambulance corporation, from interstate tractor-trailer driver to his enlistment in the US Army military police.

In his youth, his interests were unique for his age. He soloed for his private pilot’s license at exactly the time he turned sixteen, making him the youngest solo pilot in the United States for a short time. He took scuba diving and was an assistant instructor, along with being a member of his county’s underwater recovery team.

This thirst for whatever caught his interest is what helped him collect the experiences he now holds dearly and the desire to share some truth and fiction through his stories of the Minnow Squad. His need to make a difference and to help others is what formed the framework for the trilogy “Minnow Squad.”

Richards writes, “The one female member was a little guarded and not so fast to warm up to the rest of us. Women in combat were exceptionally rare and required approval from everyone up to the Joint Chiefs. She had no doubt made an impression on Mom. Each member was selected for their own special expertise and special personal values. If she was placed on our team, we all agreed she was meant to be there. Mom never made a mistake; just ask him. He found something in all his men, and women, that set them aside from all the others.”

Published by Page Publishing, D. R. Richards’s action-packed tale builds to an unforeseen conclusion, which only opens the door for the conclusion of the trilogy.

Readers who wish to experience this unforgettable work can purchase “Never Look Back” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks postponed its debut, a founding XM executive has released a memoir about the satellite radio company’s launch. "They Pay for Water: Building XM Satellite Radio from a Paper Concept to Millions of Subscribers," by Dan Murphy, went on sale August 17 in ebook, paperback and hardcover, according to the announcement.

The company was set to launch its inaugural U.S. satellite radio service on September 12, 2001, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego markets. Murphy and the executive team flew out of Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of September 11, per the announcement. The launch was pushed back, going live September 25 and expanding nationally by that November.

After joining Sony as a 24-year-old with minimal prior experience, Murphy spent 15 years helping to capitalize, build, and launch XM’s satellite infrastructure, create its receivers, and establish distribution channels in retail and automotive sectors., the announcement states. "After Walkman, Discman, I was looking to join the next big audio innovation when a recruiter called," Murphy said. "It sounded perfect. It was going to be radio the way it should be."

The volume addresses the company’s funding rounds, satellite deployment, distribution challenges across retail and automotive channels, programming strategy, customer economics, multiple Chapter 11 threats, and its ultimate acquisition by Sirius., according to the announcement. "We had spent years getting ready for the biggest launch of our careers, and then the country stopped," Murphy said. "For weeks afterward, I did not know whether anyone would still care about satellite radio."

Positioned as both corporate history and personal narrative, the book targets audiences seeking insight into the construction of major consumer-facing ventures requiring substantial capital investment. — a framing the announcement ties to ongoing debates in the audio industry over subscription economics. It is Murphy’s first book and is available now on Amazon.

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Author Tagore Almeida’s new book, “SALIGIA: The Evil Is Outside. The War Is Within.,” is now available on Amazon, according to the announcement promoting the release.

The title is not invented for the book. SALIGIA is a centuries-old Latin mnemonic device used in Christian theology to remember the seven deadly sins: Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Ira (wrath) and Acedia (sloth). The sins themselves never appear as an explicit list in the Bible; the grouping developed within early Christian tradition, drawing on scattered biblical passages, and the acronym became a memory aid for clergy and laypeople alike. The announcement itself does not spell out this connection, though it’s central to how the book’s central conceit works.

Where the traditional mnemonic catalogs vices, Almeida’s book inverts it: according to the announcement, the story is structured as a journey through a symbolic ancestral dwelling with separate rooms, each embodying different virtues rather than sins — courage, compassion, humility, integrity, forgiveness, reverence and love. Other promotional material describes the book as a mythological fantasy following characters named Salem and Medea on a quest against the forces the title names, and credits the release to publisher The Alcove Publishers, which has described the book as blending mythology, self-reflection and mystery.

The announcement frames the project as “a fusion of mythological elements, spiritual themes, philosophical inquiry, and personal exploration,” built around the idea that readers already possess the virtues the book examines, rather than seeking them from external sources.

The book is currently listed for sale on Amazon under Almeida’s author page.
