Author Bob Dombrowski’s New Book, “1969: Music, the Draft, and a GTO,” Follows a Group of Friends as They Witness a Shift in American Culture & History in the Making
Born and raised in the city of Detroit, author Bob Dombrowski worked for thirty-eight years as a Detroit Firefighter, retiring after achieving the title of senior chief. Along with his wife, Linda, Bob has raised three sons, and he and Linda now have five grandchildren. When not writing, Bob enjoys reading the classics, riding around in his T-Bird, and drinking his evening cocktails where his vodka martinis are legendary. Since retiring, Bob has become a snowbird, splitting his time between Michigan and Florida.
“The year that changed history…1969 was a pivotal year for America and its youth—from drag-racing greasers to pot-smoking hippies and everyone else in between,” writes Dombrowski. “This book takes you through that crazy time as a young kid from Detroit, Casmir Novak, and his friends navigate through the year’s historic events, including the Vietnam War, Woodstock, landing on the moon, the Mets World Series, and so much more. And maybe, more importantly, find out whether a Pontiac GTO can beat a Plymouth GTX in one of the many drag races across the Motor City.
“Baby boomers and millennials alike will enjoy going back to a time when life went from simple to extreme, rich with details of an era that shaped both a nation and the automotive capital of the world. So jump in, buckle up, and hang on for a great ride through America’s last days of innocence.”
Published by Page Publishing, Bob Dombrowski’s stirring tale draws inspiration from the author’s own experiences while growing up in Detroit and will transport readers to a bygone era of American life. Expertly paced and heartfelt, Dombrowski deftly blends his wit and humor with the perfect amount of nostalgia in a character-driven journey that is sure to stay with readers long after its conclusion.
Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “1969: Music, the Draft, and a GTO” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

New Book “Camp Grampy” Chronicles a Retired Couple’s Homemade Summer Tradition for Their Eleven Grandchildren
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
David R. Stewart has published "Camp Grampy: An Adventure With Grandchildren," a book built around a four-day summer gathering he and his wife, Nancy, started for their grandchildren after Stewart retired.
The idea, according to the announcement, grew out of a practical problem: grandchildren living in different cities who barely knew each other as cousins. Stewart and his wife set a recurring window each summer, picking the children up on a Sunday and returning them the following Thursday, timed around his Rotary Club schedule. Over time, that logistical arrangement became a standing family tradition with a name of its own.
Stewart draws on a background in sports, board games, and youth mentoring through scouting and Sunday school programs, according to the announcement, and he and Nancy built Camp Grampy around crafts, games, and activities modeled on traditional summer camp. The book states that children needed to be at least five years old to participate, a threshold set so everyone attending could take part in the full program. The family now includes eleven grandchildren, per Stewart.
"This book represents our family’s joy in building lasting memories and demonstrating to our eleven grandchildren that they matter," Stewart said in the announcement. "We wanted to show other families how accessible these meaningful experiences can be when approached with love and creativity."
The publisher describes the book as offering grandparents and extended families a model for building their own recurring traditions, framed around the argument that intentional, structured time together can carry weight beyond an ordinary visit. "Camp Grampy" was published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a familiar shelf of grandparent memoirs turning a family ritual into a template for others, and that’s exactly the kind of book that tends to find its readers by word of mouth rather than headlines.

Brian Brady’s latest thriller, titled "The Crew," shifts away from San Francisco and explores international locales according to an announcement circulated this week.
The announcement positions this title as a shift for Brady, whose previous fiction has centered on the San Francisco Bay Area Details on plot, characters, and publisher were not included in the material provided, and no author biography or backlist accompanied the release.
Publishing contains multiple books with the title "The Crew" It’s also the name of a 2025 nonfiction book by fire chief Matthew Aalto on firehouse leadership and accountability, and echoes Stephen King’s 1985 story collection "Skeleton Crew." None of that overlaps with Brady’s book in subject matter, but readers searching for it online should expect some noise in the results.
Beyond the shift in geography, the announcement does not specify what genre conventions the book follows, who its central characters are, or where its globe-trotting story actually takes place. Those are the kinds of details that typically separate one thriller from another on a crowded shelf.
Studio CarryOnHarry will hold off on further comment until more specifics on plot and publisher emerge, but a known author moving away from a signature setting is usually worth a second look once the book itself is available.
