Authors Uriel R. & Carolyn J. Limjoco’s New Book, “Under the Pouch of Judas,” Follows a Woman’s Sacrifice to Better the Lives of the Rural Communities of the Philippines


Hanford, CA, June 19, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Uriel R. and Carolyn J. Limjoco, a husband-and-wife team who have co-authored multiple books and raised six children together, have completed their new book, “Under the Pouch of Judas”: a compelling story that follows a young woman who dedicates her life to improving the rural areas of the Philippines but faces incredible political and social opposition in doing so.

Author Uriel R. Limjoco is a general surgeon who graduated from the University of the Philippines, College of Medicine and retired after twenty years of private practice and twenty years of active surgical service in the United States Navy. He is a retired captain in the United States Navy and assistant clinical professor of trauma and general surgery from Loma Linda University. He has previously published several articles of surgical nature in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Canadian Journal of Surgery, and Wisconsin Medical Journal, and he is a retired member of several organizations including, but not limited to, the American College of Surgeons, San Diego Society of General Surgeons, Los Angeles Surgical Society, and Milwaukee Academy of Surgery.

Carolyn Jo Limjoco met her husband, Uriel R. Limjoco, while she was in college at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Her young married life was principally involved in raising their six children and leading them to become God-loving, educated, and industrious members of the community. Dedicated to helping and educating children in need, Carolyn spent many years as a member of a school board in Wisconsin, ten of them as president. Throughout the years, she donated her salary for scholarship money to deserving students, and she and her husband spent many years as a safe house for battered children.

Uriel and Carolyn write, “Inspired by the character and teachings of Dr. Jose Rizal, the youthful and lovely Marissa struggled to lift the living conditions in rural Philippines with the help of a dedicated American military physician at a time when hate and political debauchery governed the country. Is it worth the ultimate sacrifice? Perhaps so. Only time will tell.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Uriel R. and Carolyn J. Limjoco’s new book will transport readers as they follow Marissa’s journey to improve the lives of the poor and suffering despite the political unrest that threatens both her and her allies. Expertly paced and deeply poignant, “Under the Pouch of Judas” is a character-driven drama that is sure to leave readers spellbound and remain with them long after its stunning conclusion.

Readers can purchase “Under the Pouch of Judas” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

New Book “Camp Grampy” Chronicles a Retired Couple’s Homemade Summer Tradition for Their Eleven Grandchildren

New Book “Camp Grampy” Chronicles a Retired Couple’s Homemade Summer Tradition for Their Eleven Grandchildren

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

David R. Stewart has published "Camp Grampy: An Adventure With Grandchildren," a book built around a four-day summer gathering he and his wife, Nancy, started for their grandchildren after Stewart retired.

The idea, according to the announcement, grew out of a practical problem: grandchildren living in different cities who barely knew each other as cousins. Stewart and his wife set a recurring window each summer, picking the children up on a Sunday and returning them the following Thursday, timed around his Rotary Club schedule. Over time, that logistical arrangement became a standing family tradition with a name of its own.

Stewart draws on a background in sports, board games, and youth mentoring through scouting and Sunday school programs, according to the announcement, and he and Nancy built Camp Grampy around crafts, games, and activities modeled on traditional summer camp. The book states that children needed to be at least five years old to participate, a threshold set so everyone attending could take part in the full program. The family now includes eleven grandchildren, per Stewart.

"This book represents our family’s joy in building lasting memories and demonstrating to our eleven grandchildren that they matter," Stewart said in the announcement. "We wanted to show other families how accessible these meaningful experiences can be when approached with love and creativity."

The publisher describes the book as offering grandparents and extended families a model for building their own recurring traditions, framed around the argument that intentional, structured time together can carry weight beyond an ordinary visit. "Camp Grampy" was published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a familiar shelf of grandparent memoirs turning a family ritual into a template for others, and that’s exactly the kind of book that tends to find its readers by word of mouth rather than headlines.

From Bay Area to World Stage: Brian Brady Unveils International Thriller ‘The Crew’

From Bay Area to World Stage: Brian Brady Unveils International Thriller ‘The Crew’

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Brian Brady’s latest thriller, titled "The Crew," shifts away from San Francisco and explores international locales according to an announcement circulated this week.

The announcement positions this title as a shift for Brady, whose previous fiction has centered on the San Francisco Bay Area Details on plot, characters, and publisher were not included in the material provided, and no author biography or backlist accompanied the release.

Publishing contains multiple books with the title "The Crew" It’s also the name of a 2025 nonfiction book by fire chief Matthew Aalto on firehouse leadership and accountability, and echoes Stephen King’s 1985 story collection "Skeleton Crew." None of that overlaps with Brady’s book in subject matter, but readers searching for it online should expect some noise in the results.

Beyond the shift in geography, the announcement does not specify what genre conventions the book follows, who its central characters are, or where its globe-trotting story actually takes place. Those are the kinds of details that typically separate one thriller from another on a crowded shelf.

Studio CarryOnHarry will hold off on further comment until more specifics on plot and publisher emerge, but a known author moving away from a signature setting is usually worth a second look once the book itself is available.
