Author Nancy Oleksy’s New Book, “Rumor 1, 2, 3,” is an Engaging Story of a Small Town That is Changed Forever When Three Small Rumors Spiral Into Something Much Greater
[ad_1]
Author Nancy Oleksy grew up in Lake Tahoe, California, became a nurse, and married her forever partner, Bob. Together they have loved and laughed around the world while Bob served in the United States Air Force and worked for Boeing Aerospace. They have two wonderful grown children and six grandchildren they adore. Currently retired, they live in Eagle, Idaho.
“A single mom with two teenagers, a small picture-perfect town, four best friends, and a busy local newspaper office provide the setting for ‘Rumor 1, 2, 3’,” writes Oleksy. “When our perky community news editor inadvertently starts a rumor, she can scarcely imagine that the entire town will hear of it and find so many ‘helpful’ and sometimes humorous ways to get involved. When a second rumor also comes to life, speculation abounds, and it seems everyone has an idea about its origin and its possible outcome. It becomes a mystery that the town wants to solve, and it spreads like soft butter on warm toast. And if you can imagine, a third rumor also rears its head, and the future of the beautiful town may be at stake.
“‘Rumor 1, 2, 3’ winds through the lives of the town’s various residents who all, in one way or another, become affected by the three rumors. The book sometimes becomes a bit of a mystery and other times a glimpse into human nature. ‘Rumor 1, 2, 3’ includes some moments of acquired wisdom and growth for the optimistic newspaper editor, her family, friends, and hopefully, the readers.
“What first started as a rather innocent remark made to friends, ‘Rumor 1, 2, 3’ takes a surprising path with unexpected consequences for the whole town. Even with its twists and turns, it is a lighthearted, upbeat story sure to make the reader wonder what could possibly be the outcome.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Nancy Oleksy’s new book draws upon the author’s experiences as a community news editor in a small town, and deftly weaves a tale of “Any Town, USA” and the personalities of residents who choose to live there. Expertly paced and poignant, “Rumor 1, 2, 3” is a compelling, character-driven mystery that is sure to leave readers spellbound and desperate for more with each turn of the page.
Readers can purchase “Rumor 1, 2, 3” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Tex Edes has published "Leadership Communication Simplified: A Personal Development Guide," a self-help title aimed at leaders who struggle to be heard, give effective feedback, or navigate day-to-day workplace conflict, according to the book’s publisher, Page Publishing.
Edes draws on roughly three decades of leadership experience that spans small-town retail, government contracts and corporate boardrooms, according to the announcement. He is also a US Army veteran whose career moved from front-line supervisory work to executive leadership, and he has lectured on communication and built training programs for teams, the publisher states.
The book organizes its argument around five skill areas: building trust through personal branding, listening rather than waiting to respond, reading nonverbal cues, telling stories that move people to act, and holding steady during digital exchanges, difficult conversations and high-pressure moments. According to the publisher’s description, each chapter pairs a practical framework with a field story meant to show how the idea plays out on an actual team, rather than leaving it as abstract advice.
"After decades of leading through countless changes and challenges, I realized that the leaders who make the greatest difference aren’t necessarily the smartest in the room," Edes said in a statement accompanying the release. "They’re the ones who communicate with intention and help others feel heard. I wrote this book to help readers stop second-guessing themselves and start leading with authentic confidence."
The publisher frames the book’s core claim plainly: that leadership communication is a skill that can be learned, not a trait some people simply have. Readers can obtain the book from retail locations and digital platforms such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Apple iTunes, with Page Publishing as the publisher.
Studio CarryOnHarry notes the leadership-communication category is a crowded one, but a book built from three decades of varied, hands-on experience rather than a single industry’s playbook is worth a second look for readers tired of recycled management-speak.

Missy Munden has published a new picture book, "Mommy’s Mismatched Heels," about a four-year-old named Kamdyn who refuses to be left out of her older sisters’ games in their mother’s closet. According to the author, Kamdyn finds a pair of mismatched heels, puts them on, and sets off on an adventure of her own, discovering along the way that being the youngest doesn’t mean missing out.
Munden has described writing as a lifelong pursuit, tracing it back to childhood stories and a college professor who encouraged her to take the craft seriously. The book draws on values she says she tries to pass on to her own daughters, built around the idea that self-imposed limits, not age or size, are what actually hold a person back.
"I wanted to create a story that celebrates the spirit of children who refuse to be sidelined," Munden said. "Kamdyn’s adventure in her mommy’s heels is a reminder that all children merit feelings of belonging, agency, and the ability to forge their own wonder."
This work falls within the children’s fiction category and centers on themes of inclusion and self-determination, framed through a younger sibling’s point of view, a perspective not always centered in children’s picture books about imaginative play. It was published through Page Publishing and is available at major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as in bookstores.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the appeal here less in the publishing details and more in the premise itself: stories that take a younger sibling’s frustration seriously tend to find a loyal readership among exactly that audience, and that’s the lane this one is aiming for.
