Baltimore, MD, April 13, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Josephine Ball has completed her new book, “A Perennial Garden of Love: A Little Bit about a Lot of Things”: a fascinating connection of facts and information acquired by the author throughout the course of her life, as well as short stories inspired by moments from her past.

Dr. Josephine Ball, DCH, was the first certified clinical nurse specialist at Spring Grove Hospital. She participated in research projects; quality improvement projects; and taught physicians, nurses, other team members, and patients. She also wrote modules for teaching group leaders and assisted with policies and procedures, such as Train the Trainers for the State of Maryland and initiated a support group for violent patients. Among the many degrees and certificates received are the following: nursing associates in the Community College of Baltimore City; bachelor’s in human services, counseling, and mental health; master’s in planning and administration in Antioch University; doctorate/certified clinical hypnotherapy in American College of Hypnotherapy; certificate in past life regression and timeline therapy, and reiki therapy (first degree).

“I am inspired by incredible, wonderful people and the delicacy of nature, which causes massive scribbled notes to be written by me (even on small pieces of paper on my bed),” writes Dr. Ball. “I hope the day never comes that I take for granted this deep connection that assists with growth. I sincerely hope the enclosed material will somehow help with your growth in your travel to wholeness, or assist you in how you choose to experience that road.

“You will find powerful tips throughout to help insight and healing. There are also brief facts, thoughts, information, and techniques to help transform life at its core with tidbits of wisdom, insight, humor, and compassion.

“I truly hope none will startle, disappoint, or be misunderstood. The weaving together of this work contains some of what is called life, which gives us the edge not only to survive but to thrive, to deal with whatever comes through the door. Enjoy the journey, and experience the power. It comes straight from the heart, directed by the Spirit to those who challenged me to put my scribbles in a book. Here it is.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Josephine Ball’s thought-provoking novel will take readers on a profound journey to gain deeper understanding of life, the human condition, and how to take control of one’s future through the knowledge shared within the author’s writings.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “A Perennial Garden of Love: A Little Bit about a Lot of Things” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Scottsdale Author Joe Reina’s New Novel Follows a Killer Who Gets Away With It

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Shadows over Scottsdale: An Unsolved Murder Mystery," built around a scenario true-crime statistics make uncomfortably familiar: a man commits a devastating crime and simply disappears, leaving investigators and a grieving community with no resolution.

The book follows a character named Robert, who flees the country using forged documents and a cargo ship after an act of destruction that leaves behind, as the publisher describes it, charred remains and an unanswered investigation. The case goes cold. The novel, according to its publisher, is less concerned with the mechanics of the escape than with what happens afterward, to the people left waiting for answers that never come.

Reina, now retired in Scottsdale, spent decades in international business across apparel, footwear, and real estate, with extensive time in Europe and a particular connection to Italy that shaped two earlier books, "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen" and "A Love Affair in Tuscany." "Shadows over Scottsdale" marks a different direction, built instead around the real scale of unsolved homicide in the U.S. The publisher’s materials cite roughly 346,000 unsolved homicides since 1965, with more than a dozen occurring unresolved each day. Separate reporting on the book has cited a figure of about 7,778 murders in 2023 alone, which it similarly frames as more than a dozen a day going unresolved.

"Writing ‘Shadows over Scottsdale’ forced me to confront uncomfortable questions about justice itself," Reina said, according to the announcement. "Too many crimes go unsolved, too many families wait endlessly for answers. I wanted readers to understand that behind every cold case statistic is a real story, real suffering, and real questions that may never be answered."

The publisher positions the novel as an examination of institutional limits as much as a crime story: the toll of a case gone cold on the people who can’t move past it, and what it means for a community when accountability simply never arrives.

"Shadows over Scottsdale" is published by Covenant Books and is available in paperback and hardcover through the publisher’s website and major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.

Cold-case statistics tend to get cited and then forgotten. Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether fiction built directly around that number does more to stick with a reader than the number alone ever does.

Joe Reina’s ‘Lost Masterpieces’ Imagines a Fictional Farewell Among Renaissance Painters

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Lost Masterpieces: Three Paintings, 500 Years A Journey Through Time," built around an imagined scene from Renaissance history: the night before Leonardo da Vinci leaves for Milan, when three fellow painters each hand him a small work carrying a private message.

According to the announcement, those three gifts come from Sandro Botticelli, Titian, and Andrea Mantegna, each painting standing in for a different kind of counsel. Botticelli’s piece is described as layered with allegory and coded warnings about power and patronage. Titian’s is framed as warm and sensual, suggesting reinvention and a break from convention. Mantegna’s is austere and classically precise, encoding discipline and endurance. According to the announcement, these three paintings form a wordless exchange between masters, transmitting wisdom, mutual regard, and assurance across generations through visual means.

Reina comes to this material from outside the art world. His career was built in apparel, footwear, and real estate development in Chicago, and the publisher’s materials trace his interest in European history, and in Italy specifically, to years of international business travel. He has published several previous books, including "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen," "A Love Affair in Tuscany," and "Shadows over Scottsdale," before turning to this account of a fictionalized moment at the hinge of the Renaissance.

"I wanted to capture that extraordinary moment when masters speak to each other across time through their work," Reina said in the announcement. "These paintings represent not just gifts, but a conversation about what it means to pursue greatness while remaining grounded in purpose and principle."

The book is published through Covenant Books and is available in hardcover and paperback, as well as through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry is intrigued by novels that build fiction around real historical figures at a specific, dramatized turning point rather than attempting straight biography — the approach succeeds or fails based on how seamlessly the fictional moment integrates with documented historical fact.
