Barbara Fafard’s Newly Released “A Life Worth Living” is a Powerful Autobiography That Finds a Woman on the Brink of Despair and What Changed It All
[ad_1]
Fafard shares, “In today’s world, we may be faced with all kinds of trials and heartbreaks that can cause us to believe that our life is not worth living.
“That was true for Barbara Fafard.
“Having come from an abusive home and with her marriage falling apart as her young, alcoholic husband became verbally abusive, Barbara became totally hopeless, and without even thinking about her two toddler sons, she decided to end her life. This is where God interceded and helped Barbara to realize that through God’s guidance, He could help her see that her life was worth living.
“In her book, ‘A Life Worth Living,’ Barbara invites her readers to experience God’s faithfulness as He encouraged her along her journey to become the woman whom God created her to be. With God’s help and lots of research, Barbara was able to acquire tools to mend and bless her marriage. Wanting to help other couples to achieve a blessed marriage, Barbara wrote a marriage workshop that she titled
‘Keeping the Marriage Alive.’ During the last twenty years, Barbara and Larry have taught their workshop to over five thousand attendees.
“The tools that Barbara and Larry taught were such a success that Barbara has included them in her book so that her readers’ marriages can be blessed as well.
“Along with achieving valuable tools to bless their marriage, Barbara’s readers will enjoy reading about Barbara and Larry’s amazing journey, along with experiencing profound lessons that God has taught Barbara along her journey with Him.
“During Barbara and Larry’s fifty-two years of being married, they have had to face several trials, but as they applied the marriage tools that they learned and taught other couples, they have been able to achieve a blessed, happy, and flourishing marriage.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Barbara Fafard’s new book offers a deeply personal look into the author’s private thoughts and experiences as she shares in hope of aiding others.
Consumers can purchase “A Life Worth Living” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

New Novel “Blood on Canvas” Draws on Author’s Two Decades as a Boxing Coach
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Ryan Gregory has published "Blood on Canvas: Between Bells," a work of sports fiction that approaches professional boxing through the eyes of a coach rather than a fighter, according to the author’s publisher.
Gregory writes from inside the sport. He founded Cache Valley Boxing in his hometown of Logan, Utah, and organized the area’s first registered boxing event in 2019. His qualifications include USA Boxing Silver Level Coach status and Licensed Contestant Manager credentials, accumulated across approximately twenty years of coaching at both the amateur and professional level, per the announcement.
The book is described by its publisher as a departure from the familiar underdog arc that typically defines boxing stories. Instead, it follows a coach managing fighters’ egos, ambitions, and the business pressures that operate behind the scenes of the sport. The publisher’s description frames the novel as an attempt to show the mechanics of professional boxing, the decisions coaches are forced to make, and the gap between the sport’s public image and its day-to-day reality.
"My goal has always been to bring reality to the often fantasized world of boxing," Gregory said in a statement accompanying the release. "This book is my attempt to entertain readers while pulling back the curtain on how the business truly works, based on real events from my own experience."
"Blood on Canvas" was published through Page Publishing and is available through bookstores and major online retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the coach’s-eye framing as the more interesting bet here: boxing fiction usually sits in the fighter’s corner, and a story told from the person throwing in the towel is a different kind of authenticity claim to test against the page.

New Novel Follows a South Carolina Man’s Obsession With a Cosmic Hum and a ‘Theory of the Universe’
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
W. H. Märchen has a new science fiction novel out, "Are You the One?", centered on Yaiouel "Yo" Elijah Johnson, a young man from Greenville, South Carolina, who becomes consumed by a mysterious cosmic hum only he seems to perceive. Studio CarryOnHarry received word of the release this week.
According to the announcement, Yo’s fixation grows into a search for what he calls a "theory of the universe" — a fractal model in which human consciousness mirrors a cosmic neural network, with past universes seeding new ones and minds echoing across galaxies. The novel sets that search against a backdrop of social fracture, with Yo’s perception positioned as a possible, if improbable, route back to collective connection.
Three companions join him along the way, per the announcement: Amelia, described as psychologically astute; Zahir, a spiritually grounded presence; and Tony, an ex-Navy drifter carrying his own unresolved history. The publisher describes the book as blending coming-of-age structure with existential questions about consciousness, loss, and survival.
Märchen spent roughly 25 years at the National Institutes of Health, working across research projects with scientists from multiple disciplines, and is a partially disabled U.S. Navy veteran holding degrees in electrical engineering and a master of science. Per the release, Märchen initially developed the story as a creative pursuit while recovering, and that his scientific background and respect for diverse faith traditions shaped the book’s handling of its spiritual and existential material.
"This book emerged from my desire to explore how science, spirituality, and human connection intersect," Märchen said in the announcement. "I wanted to ask whether our deepest perceptions of reality might be pointing us toward something we’ve overlooked."
"Are You the One?" is published through Page Publishing and is available at bookstores and through Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
A book pitched as hard science grounded in one man’s real research career, wrapped around a premise this cosmic, is an unusual combination — Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether Märchen’s NIH background gives the novel’s speculative physics more weight than the average genre entry, or whether that’s beside the point for a story this interior.
