Author Kennedy Stone’s New Book, “Illusory Adventures,” is a Spellbinding Fantasy Novel About a Young Girl Who Embarks on a Life-Changing Journey
[ad_1]
Noname has no control over her status, which was given to her by her parents. Living only with her older sister Malone, she attempts to find the answers while trying to restore respect to her family’s name, even if the kingdom is collapsing around her. No matter what stands in her way, she will take every chance to prove her worth. Powerful allies and enemies alike will watch as the youth change and figure out the secrets they have kept under wraps for years. Traveling throughout all the levels of society, she will discover that monsters come in all shapes and sizes. In the brightest whites and darkest blacks, as well as everything in between, Noname’s eye-opening journey will test her strength, her magic, and her mind. She must succeed in her adventure and be quick about it. Either that or nothing in her life will ever be the same.
Whether it be anime and manga, video games, or Western cartoons, stories involving magical settings have been a point of inspiration for author Kennedy Stone. She is a soft-spoken girl with a wild side that only comes out around certain people. Spending time with her dog, Gertrude, along with her many fish tanks and gecko habitats, is the main way she relaxes. Her strong belief that everyone is deserving of respect and happiness drives her to write creatively and journalistically. She started this book in 2018, with the original concept coming even before that, and designed the characters herself. She hopes her story will inspire others to have hope for the world and spark a desire to change it for the better.
Stone writes, “Noname was completely sure that she, and her sister, had the worst set of circumstances in the kingdom. They were public enemy number one. They barely had enough money to stay on their level, and now they were being called to the royal palace, which she knew couldn’t mean anything good. The only occurrences of the royal council calling individuals to the palace were when someone had committed an extreme crime, or at least those were the only ones she had heard of. No one, however, knew what exactly happened to people when they went into this place. Since the dark times started, civilians knew there were punishments for crime, but what those punishments were was anyone’s guess. People may not like the council, but they could do whatever they want, including making people ‘disappear,’ since people who get called in are rarely heard of again.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Kennedy Stone’s electrifying tale follows Noname as she discovers that one person might be the key to solving the problems no one else sees.
Readers who wish to experience this dynamic work can purchase “Illusory Adventures” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Ryan Gregory has published "Blood on Canvas: Between Bells," a work of sports fiction that approaches professional boxing through the eyes of a coach rather than a fighter, according to the author’s publisher.
Gregory writes from inside the sport. He founded Cache Valley Boxing in his hometown of Logan, Utah, and organized the area’s first registered boxing event in 2019. His qualifications include USA Boxing Silver Level Coach status and Licensed Contestant Manager credentials, accumulated across approximately twenty years of coaching at both the amateur and professional level, per the announcement.
The book is described by its publisher as a departure from the familiar underdog arc that typically defines boxing stories. Instead, it follows a coach managing fighters’ egos, ambitions, and the business pressures that operate behind the scenes of the sport. The publisher’s description frames the novel as an attempt to show the mechanics of professional boxing, the decisions coaches are forced to make, and the gap between the sport’s public image and its day-to-day reality.
"My goal has always been to bring reality to the often fantasized world of boxing," Gregory said in a statement accompanying the release. "This book is my attempt to entertain readers while pulling back the curtain on how the business truly works, based on real events from my own experience."
"Blood on Canvas" was published through Page Publishing and is available through bookstores and major online retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the coach’s-eye framing as the more interesting bet here: boxing fiction usually sits in the fighter’s corner, and a story told from the person throwing in the towel is a different kind of authenticity claim to test against the page.

New Novel Follows a South Carolina Man’s Obsession With a Cosmic Hum and a ‘Theory of the Universe’
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
W. H. Märchen has a new science fiction novel out, "Are You the One?", centered on Yaiouel "Yo" Elijah Johnson, a young man from Greenville, South Carolina, who becomes consumed by a mysterious cosmic hum only he seems to perceive. Studio CarryOnHarry received word of the release this week.
According to the announcement, Yo’s fixation grows into a search for what he calls a "theory of the universe" — a fractal model in which human consciousness mirrors a cosmic neural network, with past universes seeding new ones and minds echoing across galaxies. The novel sets that search against a backdrop of social fracture, with Yo’s perception positioned as a possible, if improbable, route back to collective connection.
Three companions join him along the way, per the announcement: Amelia, described as psychologically astute; Zahir, a spiritually grounded presence; and Tony, an ex-Navy drifter carrying his own unresolved history. The publisher describes the book as blending coming-of-age structure with existential questions about consciousness, loss, and survival.
Märchen spent roughly 25 years at the National Institutes of Health, working across research projects with scientists from multiple disciplines, and is a partially disabled U.S. Navy veteran holding degrees in electrical engineering and a master of science. Per the release, Märchen initially developed the story as a creative pursuit while recovering, and that his scientific background and respect for diverse faith traditions shaped the book’s handling of its spiritual and existential material.
"This book emerged from my desire to explore how science, spirituality, and human connection intersect," Märchen said in the announcement. "I wanted to ask whether our deepest perceptions of reality might be pointing us toward something we’ve overlooked."
"Are You the One?" is published through Page Publishing and is available at bookstores and through Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
A book pitched as hard science grounded in one man’s real research career, wrapped around a premise this cosmic, is an unusual combination — Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether Märchen’s NIH background gives the novel’s speculative physics more weight than the average genre entry, or whether that’s beside the point for a story this interior.
