California Inmate Claims Pre-9/11 Warning in Newly Published Memoir
Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk
A new book from an author who has been incarcerated in California since 1999 claims he tried to warn court officials of an impending terrorist attack days before September 11, 2001, according to a release from publisher Newman Springs Publishing.
The book, "The Rawest Manipulator – Broken Silence To 9-11," is written by Kirell F. Bettis-Taylor, who also goes by "Doc" or "Dr. Sadeeq," per the release. Bettis-Taylor has been in custody since July 13, 1999. According to the release, he maintains that on September 7, 2001, while held at Los Angeles County Jail during his trial, he warned jurors through handwritten communications that the United States would soon be attacked by individuals he described as fake "so-called Muslims." These claims are presented in the book as the author’s own account and have not been independently verified.
The release states that after the attacks, Bettis-Taylor was denied the chance to question jurors about potential bias tied to his Muslim identity and the aftermath of 9/11. The book frames that denial, along with what the author calls institutional silence around his trial, as its central argument — one the release describes as raising questions about prejudice and the treatment of Muslim Americans following the attacks.
"My story is not about vindication," Bettis-Taylor said in the release. "It is about breaking the chains of silence and asking the difficult questions that institutions preferred to leave buried. I want readers to understand that justice delayed is justice denied, and sometimes the truth emerges from the most unexpected places."
"The Rawest Manipulator – Broken Silence To 9-11" is available through Newman Springs Publishing’s website, as well as Amazon, Apple’s iTunes Store, Google Play and Barnes & Noble, according to the release. No court records or third-party sources are cited in the release to substantiate the author’s account of the 2001 warning or the trial proceedings.

New Children’s Book Follows a Mobility Service Dog’s ‘Transformative Day’
Page Publishing has released "The Day Annie Became a Hero!", a new book by author Kristina that follows a trained mobility service dog through a single day culminating in what the publisher describes as a life-saving moment for her owner, according to a Page Publishing announcement.
The book draws on the author’s 16 years as a dog trainer, according to the release. Kristina began training service dogs after volunteering to raise a golden retriever puppy, spending two and a half years developing the dog into a mobility service animal. Annie, the book’s central character, was one of the dogs Kristina trained, and the bond between them inspired the story, per the announcement.
"Through writing Annie’s story, I wanted to honor not just the incredible dogs I’ve trained, but the deep bonds they forge with their owners," the author said in the release. "When you witness the impact these animals have, you understand that their heroism isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about showing up every single day with love and purpose."
"The Day Annie Became a Hero!" is available through Page Publishing, in bookstores, and through Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Barnes and Noble, according to the release.

Author Pledges Book Proceeds to Aid Detained Migrant Children Through Monarch Butterfly Story
A new bilingual children’s picture book pairs the story of a monarch butterfly’s migration with a pledge from its author to donate 10% of proceeds to organizations providing pro bono legal services to migrant children and families in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, according to a release distributed via PR.com.
"Bella’s Journey: The Migration of a Monarch Butterfly," written and illustrated by Viola Greene, was released on Amazon.com and is aimed at children ages four to ten, per the release. The book follows a documented monarch migration route from West Virginia to the oyamel fir forests of Michoacán, Mexico, and uses the journey as a frame for introducing Spanish vocabulary, presenting both literal and interpreted translations alongside the English text.
Greene said the donation pledge is meant to draw attention to conditions she says children face in ICE detention. "Children in ICE detention camps can’t wait. They are being denied healthy food, toys, and the opportunity to play and go to school," Greene said in the release, citing reports of worms in food, confiscation of crayons and drawing paper, and unverified accounts of sexual assault and denial of health services. The release does not name the organizations that would receive the donated funds.
Greene also drew a comparison between the monarch and another recent use of butterfly imagery, saying she intends the monarch to serve as a symbol for migrant children in the way blue butterflies have become associated with Jeffrey Epstein survivors. The release does not specify what portion of book revenue the 10% pledge applies to, or over what time period donations would be made. The book is available now on Amazon.com.
