Author Nico Lassiter’s New Book, “Being Frank: The ‘Myth-adventures’ of a Curious Greek,” Follows a Curious & Vulnerable Young Man as He Journeys Through His Adult Life
[ad_1]
Raised in California in a Greek American household, the author has lived in Virginia Beach for almost sixty years, where he served in the U.S. Navy and studied psychology and special education before teaching and counseling emotionally and learning-disabled students. He culminated his educational experience as a high school principal, and later went on to become a realtor when that market was hot, and when it was not, he escaped into a safely pedestrian job in the hospitality industry where he facilitated the maintenance and construction of fast-food buildings.
The author has a passion for cooking and has been married for fifty-five years to a lovely Cypriot princess whom he stole from her parents. They live in Virginia Beach with a picturesque view of Chesapeake Bay, and both enjoy entertaining and sharing their home with family and friends.
“Frank Callas is nobody’s fool and everyone’s victim,” writes Lassiter. “He is a harmless, hapless, and curious young man who has extraordinary experiences at school in Switzerland and in elite levels of British society in the mid-1960s. His curiosity about people makes him vulnerable to other people’s whims, and he often suffers the indignation of being out of place. He assumes James Bond posturing occasionally, trying to fool himself that he is something larger than his own reality. He is a clever fellow who uses a tuxedo to disguise his rough edges. He is softhearted but a heartbreaker. His intentions are honorable, but he often trips over the fine points of being an adult. Frank is uncommonly lucky to have a host of friends and girlfriends who are willing to tolerate his haphazard journey into his adulthood. It’s hard not to like Frank. He wants so very much to please people.”
Published by Page Publishing, Nico Lassiter’s enthralling tale will take readers on an unforgettable journey as they follow Frank through life, and the many different connections he makes along the way. Expertly paced and character-driven, this poignant novel is a stunning page-turner that will capture the hearts and imaginations of readers and remain with them long after its conclusion.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Being Frank: The ‘Myth-adventures’ of a Curious Greek” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Suzanne Hobbs Follows Up Debut Children’s Book with “The Sleepy Snake,” a Bedtime Sequel to “The Hungry Snake”
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Suzanne Hobbs’s latest release through Page Publishing, "The Sleepy Snake: A Perfect Bedtime Story," chronicles a weary serpent moving through various locations seeking an ideal sleeping spot.
The book is a follow-up to Hobbs’s debut, "The Hungry Snake," which introduced the same snake on a different kind of search: a hungry trek through a cast of curious animals in pursuit of the perfect meal. Where that first book ran on appetite, this one runs on exhaustion, with the snake encountering a series of unlikely resting spots before finding one that suits him.
Hobbs spent close to fourteen years as a television reporter and news anchor for NBC and CBS affiliates in Idaho, covering court and crime stories. According to the announcement, a case she covered in 2000 drew her into advocacy for Safe Haven laws, work that led to her own daughter’s adoption in 2003. The announcement describes that history as part of what shapes her writing now, including her attention to themes of safety and comfort for children.
"My hope is that children will see themselves in the sleepy snake’s journey," Hobbs said in the announcement. "This story celebrates the beauty of rest and encourages young readers to imagine their own cozy places where they can feel safe and peaceful."
Page Publishing markets the book as a bedtime resource designed to smooth the shift from being awake to sleeping, featuring invitations for young readers to envision their own creatures and peaceful locations in the story. It’s available through Page Publishing’s site, Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry notes the pairing of the two titles is a clean bit of franchise-building for a picture-book character: one book built around hunger, the other around rest, covering two of the most reliable parts of a child’s daily routine.

New Book from Fifty-Year Accounting Veteran Charles Zeigler Jr. Aims to Demystify the Profession for Beginners
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Charles Zeigler, Jr., a certified management accountant with roughly five decades of experience in accounting and finance, has published "Basic Accounting Theory for Beginners or Those Thinking of a Career," a guide aimed at people weighing accounting as a profession or simply trying to understand how a company’s books work.
The book is built around a single teaching device: a fictional manufacturing company whose transactions readers follow for a full year, from the initial investment through closing the books at year’s end. According to the book’s description, that structure is meant to walk readers through the accounting equation, double-entry bookkeeping, journal entries, and how financial statements come together, building the concepts from first principles rather than treating them as material to memorize for an exam.
Zeigler’s own career included work as an accountant, auditor, controller, and financial analyst, with a focus on industrial cost accounting, according to the announcement. He has worked across corporations in Michigan and California subsidiaries, and describes one formative experience installing new accounting systems into a company culture resistant to the change. That background, per the announcement, shaped his approach to explaining technical material in plain language.
The book also takes on a question aimed squarely at the undecided: accounting or finance. Zeigler lays out, in his own words, which certifications carry weight in the field, what realistic salary and growth trajectories look like, and the paths from staff-level roles up to controller or CFO. It closes with what the book’s description calls personal advice on what tends to separate people who succeed in the field from those who don’t.
"I wanted to create a resource that answers the questions I wish someone had addressed when I was beginning my career," Zeigler said in a statement accompanying the release. "This book demystifies accounting and gives readers the honest perspective they need to make an informed decision about their professional future."
The book is published through Page Publishing and is available at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the real value here less in the bookkeeping mechanics, which plenty of textbooks cover, and more in the career-path candor from someone who’s actually sat in the controller’s chair.
