Author Jenny Cory’s New Book, “A Path Less Traveled,” Follows the Author as She Chooses the Difficult Choice to Come Out as a Transgender Woman in Her Rural Community


Mountain Top, PA, March 23, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Jenny Cory, who was born in Sayre, Pennsylvania, and has spent most of her life in the Towanda area, has completed her new book, “A Path Less Traveled”: a powerful memoir that details the author’s coming out as a transgender woman, her transition, and how coming out forever changed her life, forcing her to make difficult choices along the way.

After graduating from Towanda High School, Jenny Cory worked for Ben Franklin stores while pursuing her associates of science in business administration, working her way up to co-manager and later manager while working at multiple locations. Staying very active in the Towanda community, Cory has served in many organizations in different roles such as the Towanda Business Association, a YMCA board member, First Friday co-founder and chair, mayor of Monroeton, co-founder and treasurer of the Downtown Towanda Merchants Association, and co-chair of the first Bradford County Pride Day event in 2016. In 2012, Cory was awarded Bradford County Historian of the year, and currently resides in Allentown, Pennsylvania, presently seeking employment at an inclusive trans friendly company.

“I think we all have our own amazing stories of the challenges and obstacles we’ve had to overcome to become the person we are,” writes Cory. “For me, my story is one of fear, self-loathing, and relationship failures—all while trying to find my way in my life’s journey. I’ve always worried about what people thought of how I looked and how I presented myself. I’m not sure when that started in life, but I know it’s been there as long as I can remember. From a shy boy, who didn’t like to talk, to an awkward teenager to a career in retail, a brief encounter with politics, and a destructive Facebook post. I’ve taken one path after another, trying to find myself and establish a good reputation—only to tear it all back down. This is my story in my words of dealing with the different directions my life has taken and coming out as transgender woman in rural Northeast Pennsylvania.”

Published by Page Publishing, Jenny Cory’s engaging tale is an honest account of what life is like for the author as a transgender woman, and the struggles she continues to face to this day from society for living as she truly is. Compelling and deeply personal, Cory weaves an intimate self-portrait and invites readers to discover her journey and how she is still the kind, caring, and loving person she was before starting her transition.

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “A Path Less Traveled” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Ann Aschauer’s ‘Satan’s Worst Nightmare’ Documents a Christian Halloween Reimagining

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author Ann Aschauer has released "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," a book built around a real outreach event two Michigan women created by reworking Halloween into a Christian production. According to the announcement, the expanded title reads "Satan’s Worst Nightmare: A Testimony of Recognizing, Fighting and Winning Today’s Spiritual Warfare" and it follows two small-town mothers, identified as Annie and Kelly, during the initial development of what the publisher calls a potentially unprecedented theatrical work: the story of Christ’s Resurrection told from Satan’s point of view.

The book arrives from Covenant Books, a Christian publishing house, and comes after Aschauer’s earlier novels including "Counselor," "Vision," and "Sparrows," as well as her prior nonfiction publications. Aschauer has a background in theater, playwriting and drama education, and taught middle school English and drama, experience the publisher says shaped how she reconstructed the obstacles the two women faced in building the event.

The narrative frames the project as spiritual warfare in a literal sense — prayer, obstacles, and what the release calls attacks and opposition standing between the women and a finished outreach. "This story shows that God can use anyone to do remarkable things that bring Him glory," Aschauer said in the announcement, adding that the original event became a testimony to everyone who helped build it. "I pray readers will see their own potential to make a difference in ways they never imagined possible," she said.

The book is being sold through bookstores and online retailers including Amazon, Apple’s iTunes Store, Google Play and Barnes and Noble, per the publisher.

What the announcement doesn’t specify is how the original event has evolved since — whether "Satan’s Worst Nightmare" is still staged annually in the women’s community, or whether the book is meant to document a one-time production. That detail is left to readers to find on their own.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Aschauer’s career trajectory as instructive for faith-based creators working in theatrical spaces. Her progression from drama educator to playwright to novelist reveals how technical storytelling craft and spiritual conviction can reinforce each other. By teaching middle school drama, she developed an intuitive understanding of how audiences connect with narrative—not through sermon, but through character, conflict, and transformation. That foundation shapes how she approaches faith narratives: not as didactic messages, but as dramatic experiences. Her earlier novels like "Counselor" and "Vision" suggest an author learning to weave theological themes into structured plots. With "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," Aschauer applies those hard-won skills to document a real community event, transforming grassroots ministry into publishable testimony. For Christian creators, her arc demonstrates that investing in craft—understanding how stories actually move people—strengthens rather than dilutes faith-centered work.

Author Releases Novel About First Responder’s Life After 9/11 at No Cost

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

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.
