Author Josh Ciolkosz’s New Book, “Against All Odds,” is a Heartfelt Story of Faith in the Face of Life’s Most Difficult Moments as the Author’s Son Battles Brain Cancer
[ad_1]
Life came to a dramatic halt for the Ciolkosz family when they discovered a rare and dangerous brain cancer ailing their infant son. Through hospitalization, surgeries, and all the things to follow, their faith in God, prayer, and support from the community carried them through this difficult trial. Along the way values were exposed and strengthened: the strength and commitment of family, the value of community, the power of prayer, and belief that God is always near, even in the most dire of times. In the center of it all, a child, whose bravery, resilience, and smile inspired thousands, showed that with God, one can overcome against all odds.
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Josh Ciolkosz’s new book is a profound exploration of the power that faith has to provide healing and comfort to carry oneself through anything. By sharing his son’s story, Ciolkosz aims to encourage readers in a similar situation to never give up hope and to continue fighting while holding tight to one’s faith that God will be there to offer strength and light in the darkest of times.
Readers can purchase “Against All Odds” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Dr. Leslie Merida-Gonzalez has published a new children’s book, "Mocha, the Ground Fairy," through Fulton Books. The story follows Mocha, a brown, fluffy guinea pig who attempts to fly using wings built from leaves and twigs, only to land, each time, skidding on her bottom, which earns her the teasing nickname from her fellow guinea pigs.
Merida-Gonzalez is a music teacher in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where she works with children with varying needs. She holds a doctorate in education with a focus on exceptional student education, a background she says shapes how she thinks about reaching different kinds of young readers. According to the announcement, the guinea pig characters in the book are drawn from pets her own children had growing up.
The book centers on Mocha’s refusal to quit despite ridicule from her peers, drawing courage, in the story, from her grandmother’s fairy tales. "Through Mocha’s journey, I wanted to remind children that falling doesn’t mean failing," Merida-Gonzalez said in the announcement. "Every stumble is simply another step toward finding the magic that’s been inside them all along." The publisher describes the book as aimed at encouraging children to keep trying after setbacks and to embrace what makes them different.
"Mocha, the Ground Fairy" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Fulton Books’ website.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees stories like Mocha’s as part of a steady stream of small-press children’s books built around a simple, repeatable idea: a animal protagonist, a visible flaw, and a lesson about persistence. The appeal isn’t novelty, it’s execution, and that’s worth watching for in any read-aloud picture book pitched this way.

Abagail Lynn has released a new novel, "The Rebel," a fantasy adventure centered on an unsuspecting character drawn into a clash between two worlds where the kingdom’s fate hangs in the balance. The book is published through Fulton Books.
According to the announcement, the story follows an unsuspecting hero thrust into extraordinary circumstances as tensions between the two realms escalate. The publisher describes the novel as blending adventure, romance, and themes of hope, with the protagonist discovering hidden strength while confronting questions about sacrifice, belonging, and what it means to stand against long odds.
The paperback edition runs 846 pages and was published in April 2026, according to retail listings for the title. Lynn’s narrative approach, per the announcement, pairs action sequences with emotional character work, aiming for a story that moves between danger and quieter, more personal moments.
"The Rebel" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the appeal of this one will come down to execution: epic-fantasy premises built on a "two worlds collide" setup are common, and the 846-page length suggests Lynn is aiming for a fuller immersion in her world rather than a quick read.
