Carson R. Yeager’s New Book, “The Pledge Class of 1969,” is Full of Tales of Comedic, Moronic Fraternity Misadventures During the Turbulent, Innocent Years of 69’-73’
[ad_1]
A lifetime resident of suburban Chicago, author Carson R. Yeager recently retired as a senior officer of a nationally recognized Private Banking Institution. He is an avid yet admittedly mediocre golfer, upland hunter, cartoonist and landscape painter. He is also known as a very lazy proprietor of a small timber operation in Northern Illinois. Carson has had a long self proclaimed masochistic love for old English sports cars.
Yeager writes: To quote John Lennon, “Imagine.” Imagine a Holden Caulfield, Richie Cunningham, Otter, Bluto, Archie McNally and a Kramer all thrown backward or forward in time to the summer of 1969. Imagine they each pledge the same ruckus fraternity house at a conservative and high respected Midwestern university. Imagine their awkward metamorphosis from innocent and naive high school graduates with lofty aspirations and ideals into often rude, crude and socially unacceptable college men.
Imagine their creative, illogical and often just plain stupid buffoonery as they take full advantage of their newfound freedom and the total lack of responsibility of college life. Imagine a pledge class that suffered together and will forever stick together.
Imagine the likes of Marlo Thomas, Mary Tyler Moore, Ann Margaret, Shelly Fabares, Sandra Dee and Annette Funicello as prudish and scholastically focused young coeds attempting to cohabitate the same college campus with the fraternity brothers of Sigma Mu. Attempt to imagine everyone’s potential transformation during the Age of Aquarius into respectful and successful young adults.
Published by Fulton Books, Carson R. Yeager’s book is a hilarious story that is expertly paced and character-driven “The Pledge Class of 1969” is an unforgettable comedic ride that is sure to keep readers laughing right up to its poignant conclusion. If you enjoyed “Animal House,” you will certainly appreciate this read.
Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “The Pledge Class of 1969” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Leslie J. Weatherford has published a new children’s book, "Farmer Fuzzy Pants Goes to the Fair," which follows three boys, Matt, Mark, and Joey, through a week of raising and showing livestock at the county fair. The book is out now through Page Publishing.
The story centers on fair week itself: stalls that need cleaning daily, animals that need tending, and a tractor pull along the way, all building toward an auction where the boys’ months of work with their cows, pigs, and chickens get put to the test. According to the book’s description, one of the three, Joey, has specific plans for what he wants to do with his earnings, but has to prove he’s put in the work before the bidding starts. The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and draws on real details of fair life, from animal tagging to auction-day bidding, to give young readers a sense of what livestock competition actually involves.
Weatherford, drawing on her Michigan heritage, started creating children’s stories in 2024 following her experience as a parent. "Farmer Fuzzy Pants Goes to the Fair" is her recent release under Page Publishing.
"I wanted to create a story that shows children how hard work translates into real results," Weatherford said in a statement, adding that she hopes readers see Matt, Mark, and Joey’s journey as proof that showing up every day and caring for responsibilities pays off in ways that go beyond ribbons and trophies.
The book is available at bookstores and online through Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of agricultural-life stories aimed at young readers who may never set foot on a farm, and that alone makes the genre worth keeping an eye on.

Amanda Solomon has published a new novel, "Liberty," centered on a woman who relocates to Laguna Beach, California, to put a painful past behind her and start over. The book is available now through Page Publishing, in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
According to the book’s description, the protagonist’s fresh start takes an unexpected turn when she meets Duncan, who becomes a close confidant. Their relationship gradually surfaces secrets tied to her past, a thread that drives the novel’s central tension between forgetting and reckoning with what came before. An audiobook edition has also been released, running just over four hours and narrated by Olivia Liebe. The print edition runs 126 pages.
Solomon has said her interest in writing began with poetry in school, and she has pointed to Nicholas Sparks and Colleen Hoover as influences on her fiction, both known for relationship-driven, emotionally direct storytelling — a lineage that tracks with "Liberty"’s premise of self-discovery through friendship.
"This story is a deeply personal one," Solomon said in a statement, "and I hope it will inspire readers to embrace the power of resilience and the redemptive qualities of friendship."
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether the audiobook, with a named narrator already attached, helps the book find an audience beyond the usual churn of small-press debut fiction.
