New Book Out: “Peter Pike and the Missing Moonrock (with the Wayward Wife),” by Neal W. Fandek
Nixon’s resigned.
“Kung Fu Fighting,” “Jungle Boogie” and “The Way We Were” rule the radio. “All in the Family,” “Sanford and Son” and “The Jeffersons” rule the TV airwaves. “The Godfather Part II,” “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein” rule the box office.
And, a priceless Apollo Moonrock goes missing from the University of Missouri’s Museum of Natural History in Smithton, MO.
Another one missing. More than half of the roughly 270 Moonrocks the Apollo program brought back are AWOL. Estimated value today? $8 million plus. For one.
Who took Missouri’s lunar sample? Why has it not surfaced since President Ford took a tumble down the steps of Air Force One?
Now it’s up to private investigator Peter Pike to follow a half-century-old lead and connect the dots from a wayward wife to a drunken heiress and a sinister lawyer. Will Pike find the rock? Or will the wife, heiress and lawyer make sure Pike falls face first into filthy Jimson Creek and stays there?
Read the sixth book in the Peter Pike series to find out.
Available in paperback from Amazon or on Kindle.
Cover by Hannah Portwood.

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.

Theresa A. Bandaccari-Stephens has published a new novel, "Uncharted Life," a 310-page work centered on Daniel Carlson, a bestselling author whose career takes off just as his family collapses. According to the announcement, Daniel’s father is set to stand trial for murder, in a case tied to the death of Daniel’s mother and an attack that also targeted Daniel himself.
The book follows Daniel as he tries to rebuild after losing what the announcement describes as his greatest source of support, while also confronting his feelings for Lisa, a childhood friend who stayed close to him despite what the author describes as his neglect. The publisher frames the novel around themes of resilience, forgiveness, and self-discovery, and poses the question of whether Daniel can build a stable life while still processing trauma and reckoning with relationships he let slide.
"I wanted to tell a story about survival and the possibility of redemption," Bandaccari-Stephens said in the announcement. "Daniel’s journey reflects how we all must sometimes find our strength from within when those we love most are no longer present."
Bandaccari-Stephens lives in California with her husband, Michael, and their two cats and two dogs. Before this novel, she published two poetry anthology collections. According to the announcement, she draws on a range of professional experience and writes primarily about settings and situations she knows firsthand.
"Uncharted Life" is published through Newman Springs Publishing and is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Bandaccari-Stephens’ move from poetry into long-form fiction is received, given that this marks her first novel-length work.
