Cross-Genre Author Nails First Place Wins


Dahlonega, GA, April 22, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– When cross-genre author Juliet Rose entered her newest novel, “Carrying the Dead,” into the Firebird International Book Awards, she had no idea she would take home first place in both the Paranormal and Visionary fiction categories. She also secured second place in Suspense. Adding these wins to her already extensive list of awards, twenty-seven for her six novels, these were her first Gold Medals. Juliet writes novels including contemporary fiction with a social twist, LGBTQIA+, Visionary, Supernatural/Paranormal, and Horror fiction. Her focus is character-driven narratives the reader can connect with and weaving conflicting ideas into familiar tropes to challenge both the reader and herself.

“I don’t want the reader to get too comfortable with the plot, and hope they will connect to the characters on a deeper level. My goal is to open minds to new ideas and challenge long held beliefs,” Juliet explains.

In addition to Juliet’s current six published novels, she has a contemporary fiction novel coming out in May 2023. This novel has a one-armed rock climber, a woman on the run, a plane crash, and a secret which risks their safety and their lives. Later this year, she has a different kind of ghost story with a time travel twist coming out. She is a guest at the Multiverse Convention in Atlanta GA as well will be attending the Next Chapter Convention in Dalton, GA. Both events take place in October 2023. In the meantime, Juliet will be present at many authors events both online and in person. More info can be found at authorjulietrose.com.

Author Denise A. Powis’s New Book, “Just be Yourself and No One Else!” Follows Three Punctuation Marks Who Try to Change Who They Are But Simply Cause Confusion


Copenhagen, NY, October 07, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Denise A. Powis, a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who enjoys painting, inventing, writing, and gardening, has completed her new book, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”: a heartfelt story that follows three punctuation marks who discover the importance of being true to themselves and what they do best.

In 2005, author Denise Powis received a bachelor of science degree from Empire State College, and she has worked for many years in the helping professions as a certified nursing assistant, home health aide, and substitute teacher for special education classes. At the present time, she teaches a Bible study/support group for women. In 1979, she won a 17 Islands National sailboat race.

In “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”, readers are introduced to a period, an exclamation point, and a question mark who all long for a change of pace and decide to switch places one day. However, they soon discover they are not well suited for performing their new roles, and decide that they were made perfect for their original purpose.

Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Denise A. Powis’s engaging tale will delight readers of all ages as they discover the importance of accepting one’s self and being true to who they really are. With colorful artwork and a powerful life lesson, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” will help boost confidence amongst young readers, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page.

Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.

Inside the Community Spirit

“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”

How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities

The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
