Author Plammoottil V. Cherian’s New Book, “Democracy in America: Is It in Peril?” Offers Socio-Theological Reasons Why Democracies Fail or Are in Danger
[ad_1]
Author Plammoottil V. Cherian received his Ph.D. from Indiana State University and postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania and subsequently a faculty member, as a Research Scientist in the Department of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Passionate about teaching and students gaining in-depth knowledge about the complexities of life from bacterium to a behemoth and human life, he devoted his full time to teaching before retiring from Saginaw Valley State University.
Early in his career, he was fascinated by the Theory of Evolution, which he rejected after examining the fine structure of cells that are skillfully and wonderfully designed to function in the intricacies of life. Riveted by the complexities of life, he decided to examine Scripture to find a relationship between science and theology, if any, and like Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle, he attempts to relate cosmic and physiological phenomena with Scriptures, relating science and theology as the perfect pair of guiding forces in nature. With irrefutable evidence from science, he unlocks the deep mysteries of the Bible that link scientific discoveries to proclaim the grandeur of God’s works to others at this end-time.
He has written several books. With prophetic insight, his latest books reveal the distress of nations with perplexity that is taking place at present and the socio-theological reasons why democracies fail.
Author Plammoottil V. Cherian writes, “This book was written in the aftermath of the infamous insurrection on January 6, 2021, in the capital of our nation. While journalists, politicians, commentators, and others have written books about this horrific event stating the graveness of a coup attempt in our nation from a political point of view, I authored this book from a different perspective. The entire contents of this book are historical facts gathered from the Public Domain and news media, with biblical interpretation of the prophetic verses of the Bible, which I believe are relevant to the events of the days in our nation and around the world. While an overthrow of our government did not happen, the insurrection had all the flavor and premise of a coup d’état. It failed because of the power of the Constitution of the United States and the resilience of our democracy, the goodness of the majority of Americans, and America’s system of government. Yet the January 6, 2021, event, which was the darkest day in the modern history of our nation, proved that democracy is very fragile, even with the most rigid constitution of the world as ours.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Plammoottil V. Cherian’s new book discusses how extremism has cultivated a spirit of untruth that spreads like a wildfire.

Scottsdale Author Joe Reina’s New Novel Follows a Killer Who Gets Away With It
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Shadows over Scottsdale: An Unsolved Murder Mystery," built around a scenario true-crime statistics make uncomfortably familiar: a man commits a devastating crime and simply disappears, leaving investigators and a grieving community with no resolution.
The book follows a character named Robert, who flees the country using forged documents and a cargo ship after an act of destruction that leaves behind, as the publisher describes it, charred remains and an unanswered investigation. The case goes cold. The novel, according to its publisher, is less concerned with the mechanics of the escape than with what happens afterward, to the people left waiting for answers that never come.
Reina, now retired in Scottsdale, spent decades in international business across apparel, footwear, and real estate, with extensive time in Europe and a particular connection to Italy that shaped two earlier books, "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen" and "A Love Affair in Tuscany." "Shadows over Scottsdale" marks a different direction, built instead around the real scale of unsolved homicide in the U.S. The publisher’s materials cite roughly 346,000 unsolved homicides since 1965, with more than a dozen occurring unresolved each day. Separate reporting on the book has cited a figure of about 7,778 murders in 2023 alone, which it similarly frames as more than a dozen a day going unresolved.
"Writing ‘Shadows over Scottsdale’ forced me to confront uncomfortable questions about justice itself," Reina said, according to the announcement. "Too many crimes go unsolved, too many families wait endlessly for answers. I wanted readers to understand that behind every cold case statistic is a real story, real suffering, and real questions that may never be answered."
The publisher positions the novel as an examination of institutional limits as much as a crime story: the toll of a case gone cold on the people who can’t move past it, and what it means for a community when accountability simply never arrives.
"Shadows over Scottsdale" is published by Covenant Books and is available in paperback and hardcover through the publisher’s website and major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.
Cold-case statistics tend to get cited and then forgotten. Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether fiction built directly around that number does more to stick with a reader than the number alone ever does.

Joe Reina’s ‘Lost Masterpieces’ Imagines a Fictional Farewell Among Renaissance Painters
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Lost Masterpieces: Three Paintings, 500 Years A Journey Through Time," built around an imagined scene from Renaissance history: the night before Leonardo da Vinci leaves for Milan, when three fellow painters each hand him a small work carrying a private message.
According to the announcement, those three gifts come from Sandro Botticelli, Titian, and Andrea Mantegna, each painting standing in for a different kind of counsel. Botticelli’s piece is described as layered with allegory and coded warnings about power and patronage. Titian’s is framed as warm and sensual, suggesting reinvention and a break from convention. Mantegna’s is austere and classically precise, encoding discipline and endurance. According to the announcement, these three paintings form a wordless exchange between masters, transmitting wisdom, mutual regard, and assurance across generations through visual means.
Reina comes to this material from outside the art world. His career was built in apparel, footwear, and real estate development in Chicago, and the publisher’s materials trace his interest in European history, and in Italy specifically, to years of international business travel. He has published several previous books, including "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen," "A Love Affair in Tuscany," and "Shadows over Scottsdale," before turning to this account of a fictionalized moment at the hinge of the Renaissance.
"I wanted to capture that extraordinary moment when masters speak to each other across time through their work," Reina said in the announcement. "These paintings represent not just gifts, but a conversation about what it means to pursue greatness while remaining grounded in purpose and principle."
The book is published through Covenant Books and is available in hardcover and paperback, as well as through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry is intrigued by novels that build fiction around real historical figures at a specific, dramatized turning point rather than attempting straight biography — the approach succeeds or fails based on how seamlessly the fictional moment integrates with documented historical fact.
