Author Les Wilks’s New Book, “The Calming Force: A Daily Devotion” is an Engaging Devotional Designed to Help Readers Find Peace Through God
Author Les Wilks graduated high school in 1978 and finished in the top half of his class. If asked, he will admit to the class having only four graduates. He graduated in 1982 from Angelo State University with a business management degree.
Growing up in the middle of a cotton patch taught him the value of hard work and, along the journey, to appreciate the beauty of God’s creation. He has been married to the love of his life, Beth Ann, for thirty-four years. Together they raised two beautiful daughters, Sagan and Brooke. He is currently a commodities broker in Levelland, Texas. He loves to travel, read, write, and take pictures with his phone. He finally found something he enjoys doing on his phone.
Wilks writes, “God reveals himself in many ways all throughout the day. He announces a new day with the sunrise and proclaims that he is Lord throughout his creation. Day after day, he shows us that he is still Lord of all. God is always the first one on the scene and always the last one standing.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Les Wilks’s new book encourages readers to find moments of quiet to appreciate God’s presence in their lives.
Readers can purchase “The Calming Force: A Daily Devotion” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

New Book “Camp Grampy” Chronicles a Retired Couple’s Homemade Summer Tradition for Their Eleven Grandchildren
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
David R. Stewart has published "Camp Grampy: An Adventure With Grandchildren," a book built around a four-day summer gathering he and his wife, Nancy, started for their grandchildren after Stewart retired.
The idea, according to the announcement, grew out of a practical problem: grandchildren living in different cities who barely knew each other as cousins. Stewart and his wife set a recurring window each summer, picking the children up on a Sunday and returning them the following Thursday, timed around his Rotary Club schedule. Over time, that logistical arrangement became a standing family tradition with a name of its own.
Stewart draws on a background in sports, board games, and youth mentoring through scouting and Sunday school programs, according to the announcement, and he and Nancy built Camp Grampy around crafts, games, and activities modeled on traditional summer camp. The book states that children needed to be at least five years old to participate, a threshold set so everyone attending could take part in the full program. The family now includes eleven grandchildren, per Stewart.
"This book represents our family’s joy in building lasting memories and demonstrating to our eleven grandchildren that they matter," Stewart said in the announcement. "We wanted to show other families how accessible these meaningful experiences can be when approached with love and creativity."
The publisher describes the book as offering grandparents and extended families a model for building their own recurring traditions, framed around the argument that intentional, structured time together can carry weight beyond an ordinary visit. "Camp Grampy" was published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a familiar shelf of grandparent memoirs turning a family ritual into a template for others, and that’s exactly the kind of book that tends to find its readers by word of mouth rather than headlines.

Brian Brady’s latest thriller, titled "The Crew," shifts away from San Francisco and explores international locales according to an announcement circulated this week.
The announcement positions this title as a shift for Brady, whose previous fiction has centered on the San Francisco Bay Area Details on plot, characters, and publisher were not included in the material provided, and no author biography or backlist accompanied the release.
Publishing contains multiple books with the title "The Crew" It’s also the name of a 2025 nonfiction book by fire chief Matthew Aalto on firehouse leadership and accountability, and echoes Stephen King’s 1985 story collection "Skeleton Crew." None of that overlaps with Brady’s book in subject matter, but readers searching for it online should expect some noise in the results.
Beyond the shift in geography, the announcement does not specify what genre conventions the book follows, who its central characters are, or where its globe-trotting story actually takes place. Those are the kinds of details that typically separate one thriller from another on a crowded shelf.
Studio CarryOnHarry will hold off on further comment until more specifics on plot and publisher emerge, but a known author moving away from a signature setting is usually worth a second look once the book itself is available.
