Author Gregory Roberts’s New Book, “Broken Vows,” Follows a Nun Who Feels Herself Being Pulled in a New Direction by a Desire to Explore What Lies Beyond Her Current Life


New York, NY, February 10, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Gregory Roberts, a retired teacher of history and astronomy who later worked with individuals who were mentally disabled, has completed his new book, “Broken Vows”: a moving story of a nun who, following a cancer diagnosis, realizes there may be more to life beyond her life as a sister.

“Meg Flanagan had faithfully served the Lord as a nun for the Sisters of Saint Joseph for more than twenty-five years,” writes Roberts. “She enjoyed a spiritual peace that was unparalleled. Meg taught high school biology for an impoverished Catholic school in Newark, New Jersey. Life seemed perfect, until she ‘got sick.’ That was the catchphrase the faculty used. Only those closest to her knew she had cancer. She beat her breast cancer, but she came back to school with a restless soul. Was there more to life than the only world she knew?

“Karch Kummen was a vibrant, younger teacher who invited the Sisters to his family’s Pocono Mountain cabin for a winter getaway while he and his parents skied. Meg asked Karch if he could teach her to ski. He held her close as together they skied down the mountain. Months later, after a meeting, she admitted to Karch in an empty classroom that she wished she had someone to kiss.

“Meg was slowly being seduced. It was not a physical seduction, but one that was emotional. He showed her a wonderful life beyond the walls of her convent she had never experienced. Karch invited her to his family’s oceanfront beach house. There, he took her on fast amusement rides, a boogie board, sailing, and on a bike trip. He also kept her safe when a hurricane hit the Jersey coast.

“However, with that emotional seduction inevitably came a slow, physical seduction. Did Meg have the strength of heart to finally resist the world he offered, or did she have the weakness of the flesh and would eventually succumb to Karch? Only time would tell.”

Published by Page Publishing, Gregory Roberts’s riveting tale explores the deep passionate romance that slowly begins to burn between two friends who never thought such a connection could be possible. Expertly paced and character-driven, Roberts weaves an intricate story that will take readers on an unforgettable journey, leaving them on the edge of their seats until the shocking conclusion.

Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “Broken Vows” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks postponed its debut, a founding XM executive has released a memoir about the satellite radio company’s launch. "They Pay for Water: Building XM Satellite Radio from a Paper Concept to Millions of Subscribers," by Dan Murphy, went on sale August 17 in ebook, paperback and hardcover, according to the announcement.

The company was set to launch its inaugural U.S. satellite radio service on September 12, 2001, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego markets. Murphy and the executive team flew out of Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of September 11, per the announcement. The launch was pushed back, going live September 25 and expanding nationally by that November.

After joining Sony as a 24-year-old with minimal prior experience, Murphy spent 15 years helping to capitalize, build, and launch XM’s satellite infrastructure, create its receivers, and establish distribution channels in retail and automotive sectors., the announcement states. "After Walkman, Discman, I was looking to join the next big audio innovation when a recruiter called," Murphy said. "It sounded perfect. It was going to be radio the way it should be."

The volume addresses the company’s funding rounds, satellite deployment, distribution challenges across retail and automotive channels, programming strategy, customer economics, multiple Chapter 11 threats, and its ultimate acquisition by Sirius., according to the announcement. "We had spent years getting ready for the biggest launch of our careers, and then the country stopped," Murphy said. "For weeks afterward, I did not know whether anyone would still care about satellite radio."

Positioned as both corporate history and personal narrative, the book targets audiences seeking insight into the construction of major consumer-facing ventures requiring substantial capital investment. — a framing the announcement ties to ongoing debates in the audio industry over subscription economics. It is Murphy’s first book and is available now on Amazon.

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Author Tagore Almeida’s new book, “SALIGIA: The Evil Is Outside. The War Is Within.,” is now available on Amazon, according to the announcement promoting the release.

The title is not invented for the book. SALIGIA is a centuries-old Latin mnemonic device used in Christian theology to remember the seven deadly sins: Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Ira (wrath) and Acedia (sloth). The sins themselves never appear as an explicit list in the Bible; the grouping developed within early Christian tradition, drawing on scattered biblical passages, and the acronym became a memory aid for clergy and laypeople alike. The announcement itself does not spell out this connection, though it’s central to how the book’s central conceit works.

Where the traditional mnemonic catalogs vices, Almeida’s book inverts it: according to the announcement, the story is structured as a journey through a symbolic ancestral dwelling with separate rooms, each embodying different virtues rather than sins — courage, compassion, humility, integrity, forgiveness, reverence and love. Other promotional material describes the book as a mythological fantasy following characters named Salem and Medea on a quest against the forces the title names, and credits the release to publisher The Alcove Publishers, which has described the book as blending mythology, self-reflection and mystery.

The announcement frames the project as “a fusion of mythological elements, spiritual themes, philosophical inquiry, and personal exploration,” built around the idea that readers already possess the virtues the book examines, rather than seeking them from external sources.

The book is currently listed for sale on Amazon under Almeida’s author page.
