Author Leora Morris Trevor’s New Book, “Simon’s Apprentice,” Follows a Group of Young Villagers Who Must Pass a Difficult Test to be Chosen as Their Village’s Next Leader
[ad_1]
Morris Trevor begins her tale, “One late spring day, Simon, who was the leader of his small village, set out on a walk through the hillside to admire all the new flowers that were just beginning to peek up through the ground. His village was nestled amongst a beautiful lush green valley surrounded by towering white-capped mountains. Simon had always been a strong and fair leader, tall in stature, and very beloved by his people. Now at his advancing age, he was a bit on the portly side but still considered handsome with his dark hair and green eyes. The gray that was rapidly appearing in his hair made him look wise.
“He wanted to be alone on the trail today to think about a certain problem he was struggling with. Simon was getting on in years, and he had no heir to pass the stewardship of king and ruler for his people. He and his wife were never blessed with children, and she had died several years ago. He needed a solution to this problem immediately as he needed time to teach someone. He needed an apprentice.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, LeOra Morris Trevor’s new book is a delightful adventure that will capture the hearts and imaginations of readers of all ages as they follow along on each participant’s quest to fulfill Simon’s test. Full of suspense and excitement, young readers are sure to want to revisit “Simon’s Apprentice” over and over again.

Katt Taylor’s New Novel Follows a Woman’s Fractured Spirit from Darkness to Awakening
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Katt Taylor has released "The Mental Woman Within," a novel tracing the spiritual unraveling and eventual awakening of a woman named Sarah Jane, published through Newman Springs Publishing.
The book’s synopsis describes the account of Sarah Jane, whose consciousness became trapped at age five and existed in profound darkness for decades, unaware of her own aliveness while what the synopsis calls forces of fear, shame, and temptation work against her. The narrative follows her toward what the publisher frames as a spiritual reckoning with good and evil, built around a recurring image of a "garden of truth" where hope, possibility, and fear coexist. According to the book’s own description, Sarah Jane eventually confronts a force called Destruction, framed as working against what the text calls God’s plan for her, and the synopsis notes a follow-up title, "Luke’s Destruction," as forthcoming.
Taylor was born to a teenage mother in Tallulah, Louisiana, and has said her mother’s own unpublished writing first pushed her toward authorship. She raised five children, now has fifteen grandchildren, and counts V.C. Andrews among her primary literary influences on her approach to emotionally charged, spiritually driven storytelling.
"This story represents my attempt to give voice to those who feel trapped within themselves," Taylor said in a statement announcing the book. "Sarah Jane’s journey is about recognizing that even in our darkest moments, transformation and spiritual awakening remain possible if we choose to listen to the voice within."
"The Mental Woman Within" is available at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see whether Taylor’s promised sequel, "Luke’s Destruction," builds directly on Sarah Jane’s story or strikes out into new territory.

New Children’s Book ‘Mocha, the Ground Fairy’ Follows a Guinea Pig Determined to Fly
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Dr. Leslie Merida-Gonzalez has published a new children’s book, "Mocha, the Ground Fairy," through Fulton Books. The story follows Mocha, a brown, fluffy guinea pig who attempts to fly using wings built from leaves and twigs, only to land, each time, skidding on her bottom, which earns her the teasing nickname from her fellow guinea pigs.
Merida-Gonzalez is a music teacher in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where she works with children with varying needs. She holds a doctorate in education with a focus on exceptional student education, a background she says shapes how she thinks about reaching different kinds of young readers. According to the announcement, the guinea pig characters in the book are drawn from pets her own children had growing up.
The book centers on Mocha’s refusal to quit despite ridicule from her peers, drawing courage, in the story, from her grandmother’s fairy tales. "Through Mocha’s journey, I wanted to remind children that falling doesn’t mean failing," Merida-Gonzalez said in the announcement. "Every stumble is simply another step toward finding the magic that’s been inside them all along." The publisher describes the book as aimed at encouraging children to keep trying after setbacks and to embrace what makes them different.
"Mocha, the Ground Fairy" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Fulton Books’ website.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees stories like Mocha’s as part of a steady stream of small-press children’s books built around a simple, repeatable idea: a animal protagonist, a visible flaw, and a lesson about persistence. The appeal isn’t novelty, it’s execution, and that’s worth watching for in any read-aloud picture book pitched this way.
