Author Dr. G. Preston Burns, Jr.’s New Book, “Leadership Under Fire,” Ranks Every U.S. President Based on Their Lives and Accomplishments to Advance the American People
Originally from Fredericksburg, Virginia, Dr. Burns received a bachelor’s degree in economics from UVA and proceeded to earn his D.D.S. from the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry in 1973. He served in the U.S. Public Health Service before returning to Fredericksburg to start his own practice, from which he retired in 2015 after his son took over. Between college and dental school, Dr. Burns hitchhiked around the country including Tijuana, Mexico, by himself, traveling 10,000 miles in fifty-six days on $20 with no credit card or cell phone. In addition to giving presentations to dental societies on special techniques that he developed, he has given presentations on his private adventure to Timbuktu and his private excursion to Iran in May of 2000. He is also a long-time member of the Heritage Foundation’s President’s club.
“This treatise is a reaction to the ranking of the presidents by our academia,” writes Dr. Burns. “I have ranked them by looking at their lives and deeds through the lens of Adam Smith’s ‘Wealth of Nations.’ This is essentially like our America First policy. Since our Accademia does not agree with these principles, their ranking often varies dramatically with mine. Five of their top eleven presidents do not get out of my bottom ten!! The criteria they use are essentially un-measurable and vague. I have chosen a set of criteria that is much more easily recognized and facilitates the ranking process. The presidents who have happened to line up well with these criteria have brought great prosperity to the United States and our people. Those presidents who lined up poorly with the criteria often put the United States in great danger and in many cases brought great harm and destruction to us.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Dr. G. Preston Burns, Jr.’s riveting overview of America’s leaders will take readers on an eye-opening journey to discover which Commander in Chief truly had the best interest of the American people at heart, and which allowed their nation to flounder.
Readers can purchase “Leadership Under Fire: A Ranking of the Performance of the Presidents with Respect to the Principles Presented in the Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Author Erin Strong is offering her novel "She Never Left Ground Zero: A Novel of Courage, Love, and the Hidden Cost of 9/11" as a free download through September 30, according to the announcement. No registration, email address, purchase, subscription, or review is required, and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
The novel is fiction but draws on the real experience of an NYPD officer, per the announcement. It centers on Sofia Vega, an NYPD officer whose work amid the smoke and debris in the aftermath leads to lasting consequences she and her family must face. Strong has said she wanted to write about what happened to first responders and their families after press coverage of the attacks faded — a theme that echoes a broader body of anniversary-year 9/11 literature, including nonfiction essay collections and survivor accounts published or reissued around the same milestone.
According to Strong, "I wanted to tell a deeply personal story about what happened after the television cameras moved on." "Many first responders and their families continued living with the consequences of September 11 for years. This novel honors their courage, their sacrifices, and the people who loved them through it all."
The free download is available at sheneverleftgroundzero.com. The book will also remain for sale on Amazon and other retailers after the promotional window closes. Strong’s team can be reached through the same website or by phone.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Strong’s September timing as a textbook example of anniversary marketing strategy. Major commemorative dates like the 25th anniversary of 9/11 generate enormous search volume and media attention—precisely when potential readers are already thinking about the subject matter. By anchoring a free promotion to this peak-interest window, authors capture visibility they’d need to spend significantly on advertising to achieve otherwise. The counterintuitive logic: giving away the book for free during high-traffic periods can actually drive more long-term sales than traditional paid campaigns, because it builds audience reach, generates word-of-mouth momentum, and establishes the title in readers’ minds before the promotional window closes. When the book returns to paid status in October, those who downloaded it free become natural candidates for follow-up engagement—reviews, recommendations, and future purchases. It’s a calculated play on consumer psychology and search behavior that extends the book’s commercial lifespan well beyond September.

Author C. A. Ballard has released a debut fantasy novel, "The Lost Legacy," following a young orphan protagonist drawn into a battle against a malevolent force seeking to strip the world of its magical power, according to the publisher’s announcement.
The book comes from Newman Springs Publishing, a New Jersey-based author-services publisher that works with writers across genres to produce and distribute their books; the company is handling both publication and promotion for the title. The novel is available in stores and through major digital retailers, including Amazon, Apple, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.
According to the publisher, Zara must safeguard her sibling while partnering with an ensemble of fantastical beings including fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings to combat darkness — against an antagonist seeking to strip the world of its magic.
Ballard, described in the release as a wife, mother and grandmother with a background in accounting and medical billing, said medical challenges led her to pursue creative endeavors. "I wanted to craft deeply engaging stories about everyday individuals finding remarkable capabilities within themselves," Ballard said in a statement. "Zara’s story is about finding your tribe, embracing your power, and refusing to surrender to darkness." The publisher’s announcement notes additional projects from Ballard are already in development.
There is no independent review coverage of "The Lost Legacy" available yet; retail listings confirm the book’s publication details but do not offer critical assessment. Readers interested in the book can find purchase links through the publisher’s website or major retailers.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that Ballard’s ensemble approach—layering fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings alongside a resourceful orphan protagonist—speaks directly to a defining shift in contemporary fantasy publishing. Today’s YA and new-adult readers expect worldbuilding that extends beyond a single chosen one; they crave diverse supernatural allies and complex team dynamics that reflect both traditional mythology and modern storytelling sensibilities. Zara’s "finding your tribe" arc taps into this broader cultural moment where belonging and chosen family rival the hero’s individual journey. As the fantasy market continues to reward narratives emphasizing collective strength over solitary heroism, Ballard’s decision to populate her world with multiple fantastical perspectives positions "The Lost Legacy" within reader expectations that have reshaped the genre over the past five years. This matters because debut authors who understand—and authentically execute—these ensemble-driven narratives are better positioned to build engaged readerships from launch.
