Dr. Tom Glenn Recognized as a Professional of the Year by Strathmore’s Who’s Who Worldwide Publication
About Dr. Tom Glenn
Author Dr. Tom Glenn has worked as an intelligence operative, a musician, a linguist, a cryptologist, a government executive, a care-giver for the dying, and a leadership coach. Many of his prize-winning books and short stories came from the better part of the thirteen years in which he shuttled between the U.S. and Vietnam on clandestine signals intelligence assignments before being evacuated under fire when Saigon fell.
The declassification of Dr. Glenn’s work in Vietnam led to a plethora of presentations, interviews, and articles. His Vietnam novel-in-stories, “Friendly Casualties,” was published in 2012, and his novel, “No-Accounts,” published by Apprentice House of Baltimore, came out in 2014. As a result, he was named a featured author by the Gaithersburg Book festival in 2014. Apprentice House published his novel, “The Trion Syndrome,” in November 2015. The Naval Institute Press brought out his novel, “Last of the Annamese,” in March 2017. “Coming to Terms” and “Secretocracy” were released in 2020.
“My writing is all novels and short stories, fiction by definition. Except that everything I depict in my writing really did happen,” said Dr. Glenn. “Because I have lived a life overflowing with adventures, nothing I could invent would equal the real experiences I have had. So I tell true stories, but I turn them into fiction by attributing the true events to fictional characters rather than to myself or someone I have known.”
Dr. Glenn has his B.A. in Music, a master’s in Government, and a doctorate in Public Administration and is trained as a musician, actor, and public speaker. He has toured the country lecturing on leadership and management, trained federal executives, and was the dean of the Management Department at the National Cryptologic School. He is also a reviewer for The Washington Independent Review of Books and the Internet Review of Books where he specializes in books on Vietnam. He has been given the “Last Man Out” award by 43 of his subordinates after Saigon fell and he risked his life to get them and their families out safely.
Born November 23, 1936, in Los Angeles, California, Dr. Glenn is fluent in Chinese, Vietnamese, Latin, German, Spanish, French, and Italian. He is a member of the American Legion and in his spare time he enjoys listening to music.

Sandra Haynes’s New Novel “Fate” Follows Two Lives Changed by a Single Meeting
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Sandra Haynes has released a new novel, "Fate," a romance built around one chance meeting between two people and how that meeting reshapes both of their lives. The book is out now through Newman Springs Publishing and is available at major retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
The story follows two characters whose paths cross unexpectedly, according to the announcement, setting off a relationship neither one saw coming. From there, the book traces how that single encounter ripples outward, testing the couple through what the announcement describes as life’s unpredictable challenges while they try to build something lasting without losing their individual sense of self.
Haynes has described the novel as an attempt to work through some of the bigger questions romance fiction tends to circle back to: what draws two particular people together, how a couple holds together under strain, and what it actually takes to build a life with someone else. "Through writing this story, I wanted to capture the essence of how love transforms us," Haynes said in the announcement. "Every relationship contains its own unique adventure, and I hope readers see their own experiences reflected in these pages."
No detailed author biography accompanied the release, so how "Fate" fits into any earlier work by Haynes isn’t clear from the material provided. The premise — a single fateful encounter reshaping two lives — sits within a long tradition in romance fiction of chance-meeting narratives, a structure readers of the genre will likely recognize.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the interesting question with a book like this isn’t the plot, which follows a familiar romance template, but whether Haynes’s take on "transformation through connection" gives readers something more specific than the setup promises.

New Novel “Uncharted Life” Follows a Bestselling Author Confronting His Father’s Murder Trial
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Theresa A. Bandaccari-Stephens has published a new novel, "Uncharted Life," a 310-page work centered on Daniel Carlson, a bestselling author whose career takes off just as his family collapses. According to the announcement, Daniel’s father is set to stand trial for murder, in a case tied to the death of Daniel’s mother and an attack that also targeted Daniel himself.
The book follows Daniel as he tries to rebuild after losing what the announcement describes as his greatest source of support, while also confronting his feelings for Lisa, a childhood friend who stayed close to him despite what the author describes as his neglect. The publisher frames the novel around themes of resilience, forgiveness, and self-discovery, and poses the question of whether Daniel can build a stable life while still processing trauma and reckoning with relationships he let slide.
"I wanted to tell a story about survival and the possibility of redemption," Bandaccari-Stephens said in the announcement. "Daniel’s journey reflects how we all must sometimes find our strength from within when those we love most are no longer present."
Bandaccari-Stephens lives in California with her husband, Michael, and their two cats and two dogs. Before this novel, she published two poetry anthology collections. According to the announcement, she draws on a range of professional experience and writes primarily about settings and situations she knows firsthand.
"Uncharted Life" is published through Newman Springs Publishing and is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Bandaccari-Stephens’ move from poetry into long-form fiction is received, given that this marks her first novel-length work.
