Joyce Harlukowicz, an award-winning artist, poet, and essayist who served the Imlay City Community Schools for 35 years as a physical education and English language arts teacher, has completed her new book, “Honey on the Sweet Potatoes”: a powerful tribute to an incredible woman who touched the lives of all those around her through her devotion of living an honest Christian life and her incredible writing skills.
“Leona Mae ‘Grandma’ Moats is no ordinary grandmother,” writes Harlukowicz. “Growing up in the heartland of the great Midwest in the 1920s and 1930s, she came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ at the tender age of 10. Surrounded by loving family and especially her grandmother’s devout Christian example, Leona set her heart on serving the Savior in every facet of life with every talent given to her by God. An avid reader from her earliest days, Leona also loved the art of putting pen to paper—the craft and skills of writing.
“Leona’s writing became a grace-filled creative expression of learning to know and love the Lord Jesus and to follow him along all of life’s paths. Thousands of letters sent to family and friends over more than 35 years present a window through which we witness a life filled with the joys, comforts, trials, and challenges of the gospel-filled Christian life. We are given an intimate view of the hand of God in this faithful servant’s sojourn on earth; the delights and struggles of marriage, working, and raising children; reading, studying, and applying God’s Word to all areas of life; the necessity and power of prayer in all things; the joy of serving others—being ‘Christ’s hands, feet, and heart’—in thankful obedience to God for his gift of salvation; concern for the lost and for the gospel call to repentance and faith in Christ; steadfast care for her family and for those of us in the larger household of faith.
“This loving tribute is a testimony to the vitality of a godly foremother’s example in living the Christian life. Leona’s unique witness of faith and service gifted to us through her writing reaches back into the historical past and then forward into our lives, urging us to persevere in the faith and to dwell in reverent service to God. Through a modest, humble, devoted servant comes extraordinary encouragement to follow the Lord wherever he leads and to live in grateful response to the good news of the gospel.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Joyce Harlukowicz’s new book paints a beautiful portrait of a well-lived Christian life, detailing how Grandma Moats inspired others to look to Christ through her grace and devotion to serving God and His son.

Retired Sacramento Pulmonologist Pitches Self-Monitoring Alternative to Health-Care Bureaucracy in New Book
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Del Meyer, a Sacramento-based pulmonologist, has authored a book contending that the central challenge in American health care stems not from clinical medicine but from the bureaucratic and insurance infrastructure surrounding it. "Health Care America" is out now through Fulton Books.
Meyer’s argument centers on routine, preventive care rather than acute or hospital treatment. According to the announcement, the book lays out an algorithm-based approach that would let individuals track their own wellness and routine health indicators without routing every check through a physician visit or insurance claim, reserving the traditional system for cases that genuinely require hospital-level care. The publisher describes the aim as lowering the cost of day-to-day health monitoring while keeping outcomes steady or improving them through structured, self-directed protocols.
Meyer’s background is clinical rather than political. The announcement credits him with establishing the first comprehensive pulmonary services program in the Sacramento region and building a career around chronic disease management, after training that the publisher describes as at some of the nation’s top institutions. That combination of bedside medicine and systems-level frustration is the lens the book is written through, per the announcement.
"This book emerged from the recognition that Americans pay for complexity and bureaucracy rather than better health," Meyer said in the announcement. "By returning control to informed patients and streamlining diagnostic protocols, we can transform health care from an expensive, frustrating experience into an efficient, accessible system that serves everyone better."
The book joins a long shelf of health-policy critiques aimed at American insurance and administrative costs, a debate that has run for decades among health economists without consensus on a fix. Meyer’s contribution is notably specific and tool-based rather than purely diagnostic, proposing a protocol readers can act on rather than simply a critique of the system as it stands.
"Health Care America" is available through Fulton Books’ website, Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether Meyer’s self-monitoring framework draws interest from health economists or physicians outside his own practice — a credentialed author with hands-on clinical experience is a stronger starting point than most self-published health critiques get.

Anthony V. Pugliese Expands 2020 Horror Collection in New Edition of “All Things Truly Wicked”
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Anthony V. Pugliese has released a second edition of "All Things Truly Wicked," an expanded version of the horror and supernatural fiction collection he first self-published in 2020, through Newman Springs Publishing.
The new edition revises the original ten stories and adds fresh material, including seven original poems, according to the book’s listing. Stories range from a priest confronting a Mayan bat-demon in the Yucatan and an alien invasion told through a teenage outcast’s perspective to a centuries-old witch reborn via curse and an ancient, hungry entity growing in a backyard flower bed. The book draws its title from a line in Ernest Hemingway’s "A Moveable Feast."
Pugliese was raised in Steelton, Pennsylvania, and now lives in Harrisburg. He’s a former Pennsylvania National Guard member and retired Commonwealth employee who has also pursued paranormal research and co-hosts a podcast on unexplained phenomena, interests the publisher says shape the book’s sense of dread. He cites Stephen King, Dean Koontz, William Peter Blatty, and Ira Levin as influences, and has previously published in small-press magazines, anthologies, and academic journals.
The book’s description frames its recurring theme as moral erosion rather than sudden villainy: characters who begin as ordinary people are pushed, gradually, toward supernatural reckonings that accelerate a fall already underway. "These stories ask uncomfortable questions about the capacity for darkness within us all," Pugliese said in a statement. "I wanted to create narratives where readers cannot simply dismiss the characters as villains, because their descent into wickedness feels disturbingly plausible."
The publisher’s description notes that some scenes are graphic, and that the stories lean on religious and folkloric elements to ground their supernatural premises.
"All Things Truly Wicked (Second Edition)" is available through Newman Springs Publishing’s website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as at bookstores. Studio CarryOnHarry will be curious whether the added poetry and new stories meaningfully extend the 2020 original or mostly round out its edges.
