Local Author Gives Back for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month


Chambersburg, PA, August 31, 2022 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Nick Davis, an author, and illustrator based in Orrstown, PA and never thought that his “silly” story about a teddy bear could ever be anything more than a fun adventure illustrate book. Over the years, Nick would hear from parents about how his books would help their kids sleep with the nights off or get over a “fear” such as going to the Dentist, because their cuddly toy would look after them if there is any danger.

Then Nick learned about Nathaniel and his struggle against bone cancer, after his mother Christine reached out to him over Facebook. Through their conversation Nick found out how much his “silly” adventure stories impacted their child’s short life. Nathanial, a nine-year-old boy battling bone cancer in Arizona read Nick Davis’ night guardian adventure stories and they became a source of comfort, inspiration, and strength for Nathaniel, and he began to believe his cuddly toy was watching over him and protecting him as he battled cancer and dealt with the fear and anxiety of his journey.

Davis wrote “A Teddy Bear Tale” in 2012. The story focused on Tristan, a teddy bear, and his group of Cuddly Defenders that helped protect their owners from the monsters under the bed and the critters that go bump in the night.

“I am truly humbled by their story, and very happy it brought them joy at a very dark time,” said Nick Davis. “His mother wanted to let me know the joy my silly story gave him, how it helped him and the memories it gave them as a family as it was read to him. I don’t know what to really say to that, except thank you,” said Davis. “I felt hollow saying ‘thank you’.”

Sadly, Nathaniel, despite a brave fight, passed away in 2013. But Davis said he will keep his memory alive and in this latest story, Dream Warriors, he will be using the preorders of the graphic novel to give back during September, which is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

“After hearing this story, which is just so bittersweet, and learning about this family and all they’ve been through, I thought, ‘What else could I do? There has to be something more I can do’,” said Nick Davis

For every preorder of the Dream Warriors sold during September, Nick will split the royalties and donate half to Nathaniel’s Childhood Cancer Organization to help more children who are battling this disease.

Based in Orrstown, Davis came to Pennsylvania from England over a three years ago, via Maryland.

As a writer, he said, you never truly know or can predict who will read your words and how it will impact them, and the story of Nathaniel proves that.

“Some of the stories may be harder to handle, due to the nature of the content, but they will all, in effect, show you, the reader, what it is like being a law enforcement officer.

“It will also be a window, for those considering entering law enforcement, into what they may be getting into, and if they can’t handle the material found here, they may not have the fortitude for law enforcement.”

David J. Conley’s New Book, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion,” Offers Readers a Fascinating New Look Into the Unanswered Question Surrounding Jfk’s Assisination


Panorama City, CA, August 29, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author David J. Conley has completed his most recent book, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion”: a poignant and thought-provoking read that presents the author’s own theories and opinions on what truly happened when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, shedding a new light on the events of the infamous moment.

“In this book, there’s a little bit about me to show you that I know what I’m talking about and why I am writing this book,” writes Conley. “Next is about Joseph Kennedy, the father of John Kennedy. To know about John, you have to know about the past—that is, John F. Kennedy himself, before the assassination. Then came the day—the assassination. Now the good part is the story and the evidence. Next was who knew, followed by who was involved—the cover-up.

“Why am I writing this book? It has been many years, and people are still asking questions with no answers. Everybody with their opinions, who are supposedly experts in their fields, is not looking at the big picture. People want to know what really happened. After reading this, your opinion will probably be the same as mine.”

Published by Fulton Books, David J. Conley’s book will transport readers as they witness JFK’s assassination in a new way, offering a different perspective that will open their eyes. Expertly paced and enlightening, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion” is sure to leave a lasting impression long after the final page.
