Extremis Publishing Releases Innovative New Robin Hood Road Trip Guide by Nottinghamshire Author


Stirling, United Kingdom, March 12, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Robin Hood is arguably the best-known figure in English folklore, challenged only by King Arthur in the annals of the country’s history when it comes to historical prominence. But what is the truth behind the legend of this enigmatic figure, his companions and his adversaries – and what became of them after their celebrated adventures? This is the very question being addressed by Robin Hood enthusiast Neil Hallam, who has taken up the task of tracing Robin Hood’s exploits through some of the most beautiful areas of England.

Neil has designed a totally new road trip, covering 500 miles of striking locations throughout counties including Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, where he invites visitors to join him on the trip of a lifetime as he searches for the facts behind this famous yet inscrutable outlaw. His travels took him far beyond busy Nottingham and Sherwood Forest to the village of Robin Hood, the bucolic hamlet of Loxley, charming Whitby and the beautiful Robin Hood’s Bay, via a plethora of caves, coves, churches, crags and castles just waiting to be discovered along the way. Details of the route can be found on the official website at: https://500rh.co.uk/

With an eventful career that has involved experience as a legal expert, police officer, journalist, novelist and celebrant, Neil has led an interesting life, and time spent in this historically important area since his formative years has given him a lifelong respect for the Robin Hood story. Drawing on historical research, national folklore and local legend, Neil has pieced together a fascinating and entertaining tapestry of swashbuckling adventures, intriguing mysteries and ancient curiosities which are now being related in a new book, “The Robin Hood 500 Route,” published by Scotland’s Extremis Publishing Ltd. It is his hope that the route will not only shine a light on the fascinating history behind the many Robin Hood legends, but will also inspire visitors to come to the area and visit each and every amazing location for themselves.

“Neil has produced a fascinating account of Robin Hood’s impact across England,” says Julie Christie, director of Extremis Publishing. “The little-known facts he presents are entertaining and informative in equal measure. This book will bring to life not just the tales of yesteryear, but a vibrant part of Britain which is full of charm and cultural significance.”

“The Robin Hood 500 Route” is released on Friday 31st March 2023, and will be available from all good online booksellers and independent bookshops worldwide.

New Fantasy Novel Explores Orphan’s Journey Through Magic and Danger

New Fantasy Novel Explores Orphan’s Journey Through Magic and Danger

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author C. A. Ballard has released a debut fantasy novel, "The Lost Legacy," following a young orphan protagonist drawn into a battle against a malevolent force seeking to strip the world of its magical power, according to the publisher’s announcement.

The book comes from Newman Springs Publishing, a New Jersey-based author-services publisher that works with writers across genres to produce and distribute their books; the company is handling both publication and promotion for the title. The novel is available in stores and through major digital retailers, including Amazon, Apple, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.

According to the publisher, Zara must safeguard her sibling while partnering with an ensemble of fantastical beings including fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings to combat darkness — against an antagonist seeking to strip the world of its magic.

Ballard, described in the release as a wife, mother and grandmother with a background in accounting and medical billing, said medical challenges led her to pursue creative endeavors. "I wanted to craft deeply engaging stories about everyday individuals finding remarkable capabilities within themselves," Ballard said in a statement. "Zara’s story is about finding your tribe, embracing your power, and refusing to surrender to darkness." The publisher’s announcement notes additional projects from Ballard are already in development.

There is no independent review coverage of "The Lost Legacy" available yet; retail listings confirm the book’s publication details but do not offer critical assessment. Readers interested in the book can find purchase links through the publisher’s website or major retailers.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that Ballard’s ensemble approach—layering fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings alongside a resourceful orphan protagonist—speaks directly to a defining shift in contemporary fantasy publishing. Today’s YA and new-adult readers expect worldbuilding that extends beyond a single chosen one; they crave diverse supernatural allies and complex team dynamics that reflect both traditional mythology and modern storytelling sensibilities. Zara’s "finding your tribe" arc taps into this broader cultural moment where belonging and chosen family rival the hero’s individual journey. As the fantasy market continues to reward narratives emphasizing collective strength over solitary heroism, Ballard’s decision to populate her world with multiple fantastical perspectives positions "The Lost Legacy" within reader expectations that have reshaped the genre over the past five years. This matters because debut authors who understand—and authentically execute—these ensemble-driven narratives are better positioned to build engaged readerships from launch.

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks postponed its debut, a founding XM executive has released a memoir about the satellite radio company’s launch. "They Pay for Water: Building XM Satellite Radio from a Paper Concept to Millions of Subscribers," by Dan Murphy, went on sale August 17 in ebook, paperback and hardcover, according to the announcement.

The company was set to launch its inaugural U.S. satellite radio service on September 12, 2001, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego markets. Murphy and the executive team flew out of Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of September 11, per the announcement. The launch was pushed back, going live September 25 and expanding nationally by that November.

After joining Sony as a 24-year-old with minimal prior experience, Murphy spent 15 years helping to capitalize, build, and launch XM’s satellite infrastructure, create its receivers, and establish distribution channels in retail and automotive sectors., the announcement states. "After Walkman, Discman, I was looking to join the next big audio innovation when a recruiter called," Murphy said. "It sounded perfect. It was going to be radio the way it should be."

The volume addresses the company’s funding rounds, satellite deployment, distribution challenges across retail and automotive channels, programming strategy, customer economics, multiple Chapter 11 threats, and its ultimate acquisition by Sirius., according to the announcement. "We had spent years getting ready for the biggest launch of our careers, and then the country stopped," Murphy said. "For weeks afterward, I did not know whether anyone would still care about satellite radio."

Positioned as both corporate history and personal narrative, the book targets audiences seeking insight into the construction of major consumer-facing ventures requiring substantial capital investment. — a framing the announcement ties to ongoing debates in the audio industry over subscription economics. It is Murphy’s first book and is available now on Amazon.
