Author Joyce Armintrout’s New Book “Tales from Cupid” Follows Five Couples at Different Stages of Their Relationships, from Falling in Love to Rekindling Their Flame


Harrisonville, MO, May 18, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Joyce Armintrout, who holds a lifelong love of writing and had her first book published at the age of seventy-five, has completed her new book, “Tales from Cupid”: a collection of short stories that follow the lives of five different couples, all facing vastly different circumstances as they navigate falling in love and making their relationships work.

A resident of Harrisonville, Missouri, author Joyce Armintrout has always been interested in writing. At first, there were just small essays about things that happened while she was growing up on the farm. Her eighth-grade teacher suggested she use her imagination to write short stories. She found she enjoyed doing that, so before long she began writing longer stories, and then she decided to try her hand at writing romance novels. Although she writes about various things now, her first love has always revolved around romance. Her characters are a little older now and with more complicated lives, but romance is romance, whether you are fifteen or fifty.

“No two people fall in love the same way,” shares Armintrout. “Some recognize love at once. Some may take years before they are ready to admit, even to themselves, that they are in love. Sometimes one falls in love, but the other one either doesn’t recognize it or is not ready to commit.

“Greg loved Janet, but she was seeing someone else, so he couldn’t tell her his feelings.

“Ben and Sarah were deeply in love while they were in college. Circumstances forced them apart upon their graduation. They met quite by accident eight years later. They discovered that they were still in love, but each of them was engaged to marry someone else. What could they do? More importantly, what should they do?

“Jason and Sue were engaged to be married. They both loved their jobs, but those jobs kept pulling them apart. Would they ever find time to get married, or had they waited too long?

“Will was in love with Katy, but she was pining for a boy she knew from college, so she thought there was no room for anyone else in her heart.

“Chris worked for Paul. A coworker stole some artwork from Chris, so she believed she was going to have to quit her job. Paul didn’t want to lose her, so he did everything in his power to stop that from happening. Paul first began to admire Chris because of how she wanted to settle the problem with her coworker. He discovered he liked spending time with Chris but wasn’t sure it would be proper to take his feelings any further since she was one of his employees.”

Published by Page Publishing, Joyce Armintrout’s charming tale will take readers on an unforgettable and stirring journey, as each of the five couples trust in their instincts and discover the secret to a successful relationship. Expertly paced and romantic, Armintrout presents a character-driven, multi-story novel that is sure to keep readers spellbound and remain with them long after its conclusion.

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

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.

New Fantasy Novel Explores Orphan’s Journey Through Magic and Danger

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

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.
