Author Mitzi Alvar’s New Book, “Minerva Rose,” is a Thrilling Tale That Centers Around a Young Girl Who Must Face Her Fears as She Starts Her First Day of School
[ad_1]
Alvar writes, “It’s Minerva Rose’s first day of school, and she is so excited and a little scared. But she knows she can handle it because she is named after a very strong Greek goddess, Minerva!
“Follow Minerva as she gets on the scary school bus and meets the bus driver, Ms. Charon, then she meets the scary principal, Mr. Styx. Follow along with her as she enters the school and meets other students who are scared like her and the one student who starts to bully Minerva but then decides that they should be friends instead. School is a wonderful place, and Minerva knows she can handle anything because she is strong and wise. She is Minerva!”
Published by Page Publishing, Mitzi Alvar’s delightful tale is inspired by her two grandchildren, Minerva and Kayleb, who are often characters in her books. With colorful and vibrant artwork to help bring Alvar’s tale to life, “Minerva Rose” is the perfect tool for parents and guardians to help connect with young readers and inspire them to not be afraid of their own first day of school.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Minerva Rose” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Richard A. Chrismer’s New Memoir Traces Path From Orphanage to Vietnam Service to the Missouri Statehouse
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Richard A. Chrismer has published a new memoir, "Reflections on Life: From Orphanage to Military and Beyond," tracing his path from an orphaned childhood through military service in Vietnam and into a career in Missouri state politics. The book is out now through Newman Springs Publishing.
According to the announcement, Chrismer spent part of his childhood in an orphanage before going on to serve three tours of duty in Vietnam with the Air Force, where he was decorated with multiple Bronze and Silver service stars. He later served as a Missouri State Representative, where the announcement credits him with championing veterans’ benefits and authoring a state tax cut described as record-breaking.
The memoir covers that arc directly, according to the publisher’s description, moving from the hardship of his early years through his military record and into his legislative work. It also turns to his personal life, including his marriage to Mary and his four children, framing those relationships as central to the story he wanted to tell.
"My intention in writing this book was to share how my life has been touched by others and how I, in turn, have affected those I have met along my journey," Chrismer said in the announcement. "I hope these reflections will inspire readers to recall their own moments of connection and to recognize the profound impact they have had on those around them."
The publisher frames the work as exploring how personal significance is measured not by individual accomplishment but by one’s impact on others, a theme it says runs through Chrismer’s accounts of encounters with both political figures and ordinary people over his decades in public service.
"Reflections on Life: From Orphanage to Military and Beyond" is available now through major booksellers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Newman Springs Publishing.
Studio CarryOnHarry is interested in how Chrismer’s legislative record, particularly the veterans’ benefits work, holds up against the broader story of Vietnam-era veterans entering state politics in the decades after their service.

New Novel “Lives Well Lived” Traces One Boy’s Question Through Four Generations of a Family
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Rich Gove has published a new novel, "Lives Well Lived," following Nate Johnson from age eleven into adulthood as a question he asks as a child ripples outward to reshape his family and his town, according to the publisher’s announcement.
The book, published through Fulton Books, spans four generations of the Johnson family. Per the publisher’s description, Nate is raised with the steady support of his parents and guided along the way by three figures who become central to the story: Marjorie, Thomas, and Sharon. The JT Ranch recurs throughout as a setting tied to mentorship and purpose, and Nate’s eventual marriage to Sharon anchors the book’s later chapters. The publisher describes the novel as built around themes of love, learning, and generosity, carried through the relationships between parents and children, mentors and protégés, and spouses.
Gove is a retired educator who, according to the announcement, started writing during the pandemic intending to produce a short story for his family. The project grew into a roughly two-hundred-page novel. He has said he spent long stretches planning the book before writing it, and that he particularly enjoyed developing the friendship between Marjorie and Mary and tracing Sharon’s arc through the story.
"Writing this book became a true joy," Gove said in the announcement. "I wanted to create a story that would resonate in readers’ hearts and remind them that the most meaningful lives are those lived in service to others and in deep connection with those we love."
"Lives Well Lived" is available through Fulton Books’ website and at major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees a familiar but durable pitch here: a multigenerational family story built on mentorship and small-town values, the kind of book that tends to find its readers through word of mouth rather than splashy marketing.
