Author David Partie’s New Book, “Voices in the Silent Night: Poems about the Christmas Story,” Revitalizes the Traditional Christmas Story Through Festive Poetry


Los Angeles, CA, April 07, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– David Partie, who was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1944, has completed his new book, “Voices in the Silent Night: Poems about the Christmas Story”: a collection of Christmas poems designed to share different perspectives of the Christmas story and to encourage everyone to praise the newborn King.

During his forty-year career as a professor of English and modern languages, twenty-two of those years at Liberty University, author David Partie also taught at the University of California at Los Angeles, Santa Monica College, Biola College, the University of Southern California, Berlitz School of Languages, and Central Virginia Community College. In the summer of 2017, he served as a visiting professor of British and American Literature at Peking University in Beijing, China. In addition, he served as a marketing representative for Agnew Tech-Tran, a translation firm based in Woodland Hills, California, and he worked as a travel agent and as a freelance translator, specializing in translations from German into English.

He is a former regional vice president of the Poetry Society of Virginia. He won the Karma Deane Ogden Prize, the Brodie Herndon Prize, the Carleton Drewry Memorial Prize, and the J. Franklin Dew Award for poetry. He also writes fiction for children and adults and is the author of two thousand haiku in English.

Partie writes, “So the ‘silent night’ of Jesus’s birth, according to the familiar Christmas carol, wasn’t so ‘silent’ after all! At least, that was what I discovered when I began writing poems about the people and the supernatural beings who were involved in some way or another in the Christmas story. Several years ago, I wrote ‘The City of the Star’ about the arrival of the Wise Men from the east to worship this newborn King, ‘Outside the Stable’ about Joseph, and ‘One Winter Night’ about the blessed birth of our Savior in the stable in Bethlehem. When I read and reread the passages about the events before, during, and just after Jesus’s birth from Luke 1:5–2:40 and Matthew 1:18–2:18 to write these poems, I discovered that there were twenty-one individuals or groups mentioned by these two Gospel writers.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, David Partie’s new book brings the Christmas story to life with fresh perspectives of this blessed event.

Readers can purchase “Voices in the Silent Night: Poems about the Christmas Story” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Two new consciousness‑style paperbacks on Amazon

Two new consciousness‑style paperbacks on Amazon, Author Ruby Dosanjh has released, expanding a growing body of atmospheric, introspective fiction. The titles — Likewise and Otherwise — explore the quiet emotional shifts that happen between two people who are paying attention.

The first release, Likewise, is a story about subtlety and mirrored feeling. It follows the second meeting that changes the first, the presence that fits too perfectly, and the kind of recognition that arrives without language. Described as “a quiet echo,” the book offers a soft, atmospheric experience for readers who sense emotional shifts before they can name them. Some connections linger — not because they’re forced to, but because they belong.

The second paperback, Otherwise, moves into deeper territory. It traces the moment reflection becomes truth, when two people think of each other without stopping and without softening it into something smaller. What begins as quiet awareness grows into something unmistakable — familiar, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. Otherwise follows the slow, honest shift from noticing to knowing, and the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending nothing is happening.

Together, the releases mark a clear evolution in Ruby Dosanjh’s one‑word consciousness series — stories that move gently, speak quietly, and leave a lasting imprint. Both paperbacks are now available worldwide on Amazon.

How To Read People Like A Book Enters Competitive Body Language Genre

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Sebastian Clark has released "How To Read People Like A Book: The Subtle Art of How to Analyze People and Speed-Reading to decode Body Language, Intentions, Thoughts, Emotions, Behaviors, and Connect Effortlessly!", first published in 2022, according to an announcement received by Studio CarryOnHarry.

The book lands in a crowded shelf of nonverbal-communication guides. Its own marketing places it alongside Allan and Barbara Pease’s "The Definitive Book of Body Language," Joe Navarro’s "What Every BODY is Saying," and Thomas Erikson’s "Surrounded by Idiots" — three long-running titles that have anchored the popular body-language genre for years. Clark’s book positions itself as a newer entry covering similar ground: understanding facial expressions, gestures, posture, and vocal tone to reveal someone’s actual thoughts.

According to the announcement, the book walks through strategies applicable across various contexts including professional environments, social gatherings, and interpersonal connections — with the stated aim of helping readers spot emotions and intentions that go unspoken. Listed topics include facial expression and gesture analysis, context-specific body language decoding, interpreting non-verbal communication, reading vocal cues for emotional undertone, and trusting intuitive reads of subtle signals. The work is categorized within social science studies.

No further biographical detail on Clark accompanied the announcement, and independent listings for the title largely repeat the same publisher description rather than adding new information about the author or the book’s reception since 2022.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we’re interested in whether books like Clark’s deliver on their practical promise. The appeal of body-language guides lies less in theory and more in real-world application—the job interview where you’re trying to gauge whether the hiring manager is genuinely interested, the first date where mixed signals leave you uncertain, the negotiation where knowing if the other party is bluffing matters financially. Clark’s positioning across "professional environments, social gatherings, and interpersonal connections" suggests he’s aware readers want transferable skills, not just academic frameworks. The question worth asking: does his approach to vocal cues, facial analysis, and contextual interpretation actually equip readers to make better decisions in these high-stakes moments? Or does it risk reinforcing the confidence-without-accuracy trap that plagues intuitive people-reading? For readers considering this purchase, the gap between what body language can reliably tell us and what we wish it could tell us deserves scrutiny.
