Author Lorenzo Barr’s New Book, “The Effect of Divorce on Children Under the Age of 18,” Explores the Lasting Impacts of the Collapse of Marriage & Rise in Divorce Rates


Red Oak, TX, April 27, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Lorenzo Barr, who holds an associate of arts degree in psychology, a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Arts degree in human services counseling specializing in addictions and recovery, has completed his new book, “The Effect of Divorce on Children Under the Age of 18”: an informative guide to understanding how cultural shifts in America have led to a rise of instances of divorce and the ripple effects it can cause.

Author Lorenzo Barr holds a diploma in biblical counseling and is currently a PhD candidate pursuing his Doctor of Philosophy in higher education administration, specializing in education leadership. Barr has completed his education and his diploma in biblical counseling from American Association of Christian Counselor (AACC), Live University and is a board-certified pastoral-care counselor, a board-certified Christian counselor, a board-certified Christian life coach, and a board-certified biblical counselor. Along with his various accomplishments, Barr is also a board member of Christian Life Coaching (BCLC), an advanced Christian life coach, and a master Christian life coach, as well as a board-certified biblical counselor.

“Have you ever pondered upon the declining trust of humans in the institution of marriage?” writes Barr. “There has been a high rate of single parentship observed among the masses. The changing norms and cultures, changing concepts regarding parenting, and the spiking graphs of divorce highlighted the alarming situation of declining institution of marriage. The problem has been further invigorated by the declined institution of religion. High divorce rates in the United States over the past twenty years have resulted in numerous changes in American family life, with perhaps the most important consequences bearing on children whose families were disrupted.”

Barr continues, “The book encapsulates the issue of the collapsing institution of marriage and the increased divorce ratio in the society. These facts will then be connected with the way these practices of divorce affect the children psychologically, with special focus on those under eighteen years. The book will be divided into chapters that will proceed step by step toward the conclusions. The book shall also include the interview data of the individuals, including the parents and children to determine how they have perceived and accepted this change that occurs with finalization of marriage. Graphs and statistical evidences will be used.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Lorenzo Barr’s new book extensively discusses the issue of collapsing institutions of marriage and the increased divorce ratio in society, and how it can all be tied back to the erosion of religious institutions in America. As readers will discover, Barr’s writings question the ethical, social, religious, and political norms that have combined effect on the way rates of divorce are increasing and the way rates of declining trust have erupted among the people of God.

Readers can purchase “The Effect of Divorce on Children Under the Age of 18” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

New Suspense Thriller “Cyber-Psycho Chronicles Take Film Festivals by Storm with 100+ Awards in Only 18 Festivals


Rowlett, TX, November 16, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Texas Filmmaker’s “Cyber-Psycho Chronicles” Dominates the Festival Circuit With 100+ Awards — Filmed Entirely in Rowlett and Garland.

Thrilling new web series explores the dark side of digital obsession and online surveillance — a modern psychological suspense story gripping audiences worldwide.

Independent filmmaker and Rowlett resident Harry Keane and his team are capturing the attention of audiences and critics around the globe with his bold new suspense series, Cyber-Psycho Chronicles. Filmed entirely in Rowlett and Garland, Texas, the series has already earned over 100 awards in just 18 international film festivals, signaling a breakout success for both Keane and his Texas-based production company, GemStar Studios LLC.

Cyber-Psycho Chronicles tells the unsettling story of a tech-savvy predator who weaponizes the internet to stalk his victims. The series’ chilling realism taps into society’s growing fear of privacy invasion and online vulnerability — a theme resonating deeply with today’s digital generation.

Texarkana actor Kevin Williams delivers a haunting performance as the title character, while Cortina Jackson stars as Detective Waters and Mathieu Caviness plays FBI Agent Mendez, both desperate to track down the elusive killer. Actress Samantha Makley portrays Lily, one of the stalker’s unsuspecting targets whose life becomes a terrifying descent into paranoia and fear.

Series Tagline:
He’s Always Watching. He’s Always There. He Sees You Online.
Beware of the Unknown. Who Can You Trust?
It’s Already Too Late.

The project’s first episode, already making waves across international festivals, serves as a teaser pilot designed to attract platform partners and distributors for the full series release. A premiere date and streaming announcement are expected in the coming months.

“We wanted to craft a story that reflects the fears of our connected world — where identity, privacy, and obsession collide,” said Keane. “Cyber-Psycho Chronicles isn’t just entertainment. It’s a wake-up call about how far we’ve let technology into our lives.”

With its blend of psychological tension, real-world relevance, and striking Texas cinematography, Cyber-Psycho Chronicles stands as a gripping indie triumph — proving that powerful storytelling can come from unexpected places.
