Final Chapter: Garphil Bowles Completes Crime Trilogy with ‘Tears Of A Goon’
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Garphil "Geechie Dan" Bowles has published "Tears Of A Goon," the concluding installment of a three-book series following Special K., a young woman drawn back into a family war she thought was over. Studio CarryOnHarry received an announcement about the release, published through Fulton Books.
The novel picks up as adversaries whom Special K.’s father Ruthless and uncle Zoomlock thought they had eliminated return seeking revenge. The narrative reveals that the two men failed to recognize the true threat they faced, and it falls to Special K. to be the last of her family left standing.
Bowles writes from a background he’s been open about in promotional material for the series: spent thirty years in and out of prison through eight separate incarcerations before what he describes as a turn toward faith and reinvention. He grew up in Lawton, Oklahoma, and has said that history shapes the street narratives running through all three books.
"This work marks both the conclusion of Special K.’s narrative and an examination of redemption," Bowles said in the announcement. "I’ve lived these streets, served these sentences, and found grace where none seemed possible. Through this trilogy, I wanted readers to understand that no one is beyond transformation."
The publisher describes the book as pairing street-level tension with character development, built around the question of whether Special K. can outrun a legacy of violence or whether finishing the fight means giving something up herself. "Tears Of A Goon" is available now through Fulton Books’ website, Amazon, Apple iTunes Store, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, what stands out here isn’t the plot mechanics but the author’s own arc feeding directly into the fiction — a trilogy closer that’s as much about Bowles’s account of his own transformation as it is about Special K.’s survival.

Author Lisa Doucette has published "Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!", a children’s book drawn from a painful memory of her own childhood, through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story follows a young girl named Lisa who climbs onto a tire swing expecting an afternoon of fun. A fall and a cruel remark from another child instead leave her confused and hurt. With her sister’s help and her faith, she works through the experience and arrives at forgiveness.
Doucette is a wife, teacher, and mother of two sons who has said she experienced the incident firsthand as a child. "I experienced this hurtful event as a child, and rewriting this story with a redemptive ending has allowed me to truly forgive," she said in the announcement. "I believe that forgiveness is the way to heal, and I hope this book helps other children understand that truth."
The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of empathy, agency, and choosing one’s response to cruelty rather than controlling it. The publisher describes it as a tool for helping children navigate hurt and process it through kindness rather than retaliation.
"Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees value in children’s books that work from a real, specific memory rather than an invented scenario — that specificity is often what makes a book like this land with young readers rather than read as a generic moral lesson.

Christian Faith Publishing Releases Pamela B. Craig’s “Tears and a Tiara,” a Family Memoir of Childhood Cancer and Faith
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Pamela B. Craig has released "Tears and a Tiara: A Testimony of Faith, Hope, and Love," a memoir recounting her family’s experience after her child was diagnosed with cancer, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The announcement describes a family life upended by a diagnosis no parent expects to hear, and a narrative that follows the family through what the publisher calls heartache toward spiritual transformation. Craig frames the ordeal as a test of faith rather than only a medical crisis, according to the announcement, with the book positioned as both a personal testimony and an account meant to speak to readers facing their own hardship.
The title itself, pairing "tears" with "tiara," points to the book’s central tension: suffering alongside something the publisher’s description treats as a mark of grace or honor, a framing common in faith-based memoirs that cast a family’s hardest season as also a season of spiritual meaning.
Craig’s memoir joins a steady stream of personal narratives released through Christian Faith Publishing, which works with authors to bring faith-centered stories, often rooted in illness, loss, or caregiving, to print.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a durable category of faith-based memoir: narrow in audience, but consistently in demand among readers looking for first-person accounts of hardship read through a spiritual lens.
