Greg Deuschle’s New Book, “Redemption,” is an Eye-Opening Tale of the Author’s Experiences, Including His Time as an Adult Entertainment Star and His Turn Towards Christ
“If you were going to sit down and write a book about yourself, what stories would you include? Think about that,” writes Deuschle. “There are literally a million, if you’re over ten years old. What stories would you omit because they were just too damned embarrassing? Don’t we spend enormous amounts of energy trying to forget and bury the stuff that hurt the worst? Slamming it into some back of the mind file cabinet then swallowing the key? Or should one be honest and forthright? Shouldn’t one throw all caution to the wind and not give a rat’s ass what people think of you? Would you try to be witty and seem intelligent like a road scholar? Would you name names and take full advantage of the fact that you have the stage and can shred the people who have wronged you? Tempting, no?
“I promised myself I would not do the latter, although there was a plethora of rats that nibbled at my psyche and took advantage of my kindness and willingness to help others. They know who they are, and that’s enough for me. They will answer
to karma or God. But if God is God, isn’t he karma?
“The purpose of this book is many things. It’s to let the world know who Greg is. (I was an actor, so I answered to Randy Spears for many, many years.) I hope it brings instruction, tells tales of caution, and brings a chuckle or two and some hope to those that hurt.”
Published by Fulton Books, Greg Deuschle’s book is a raw and deeply personal look into the author’s life, and the incredible faith-based journey he found himself on following the height of his stardom within the adult entertainment industry. Readers will discover the heartbreak and losses that ultimately led to the incredible salvation experienced by the author as he embraced a new path in life.
Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Redemption” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Jayme Byrd has published a new book, "Secrets of Lissa," tracing a young girl’s path from childhood into adulthood through a mix of real memory and invented detail. The book is published through Page Publishing.
Byrd spent four decades working as a nurse, according to the announcement, alongside raising a family across multiple generations as a wife, mother and grandmother. That professional background, spent listening to patients and observing how people carry hardship, shapes the perspective behind the book, the announcement states.
The book’s own description, listed under fiction in Google Books’ catalog, frames it plainly: the story is based on true events, but names and characteristics of the people in it have been changed, and while the saddest scenes reflect reality, other scenes were, in the author’s words, "enhanced to make my life seem better than it was." The listing poses the same question Byrd raises in the press materials: if you wrote your own life story, wouldn’t you want it told with a little more color?
The narrative centers on a protagonist selectively choosing which historical moments to present faithfully and which to reshape or soften, and asking readers to sit with the difference. Byrd is quoted in the announcement saying she wanted to "honor my journey by telling it authentically while also giving myself permission to make it beautiful," adding that life is worth celebrating "even when—or especially when—we’re recounting the hardest parts."
"Secrets of Lissa" is listed for sale at bookstores and through the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry finds the premise more interesting than the average memoir-adjacent debut: a writer naming, in the text itself, exactly where she’s chosen to depart from what happened. That’s a more candid contract with the reader than most first-person narratives offer.
From the Editor — Harry Johal
"Stories are the way we make sense of our lives, and the way we make sense of other people’s lives." — Kazuo Ishiguro
I was sitting with my coffee this morning, half-listening to the radio, when something a guest had said months ago drifted back. About how we’re all editors of our own lives, whether we admit it or not.
Then Ishiguro’s words came to mind: "Stories are the way we make sense of our lives, and the way we make sense of other people’s lives."
And that’s exactly what Jayme Byrd is doing in "Secrets of Lissa."
Forty years as a nurse—that’s forty years of listening. Of watching people carry things they couldn’t put down. She knows how a life actually feels from the inside. The weight of it. And then she sits down to tell her own story and does something most people won’t: she names the line between what happened and what she chose to make beautiful.
That’s not dishonesty. That’s honesty about how memory works, how survival works. We don’t just remember our lives—we *live* them again through the telling. And Byrd’s saying: yes, the hardest parts are real. The saddest scenes happened. But over here, I softened this. Over here, I added color. And I’m telling you exactly where I did it.
Most memoirs pretend they’re pure record. Byrd is saying something braver: I’m making sense of my life, and I’m making sense of *myself* in the process. The real story isn’t whether every detail is factual. It’s what it costs to survive, and what we owe ourselves in the retelling.
That’s the quiet revolution in this book. Not the invention. The honesty about it.

Jana M. Castle has published a new children’s book, "Small Packages Big Impact," through Page Publishing, following a family led by a character named Jonathan on what the publisher describes as a mission marked by laughter, chaos and heartbreak.
According to publisher listings, the book is a 32-page paperback aimed at young readers, published in February 2026. It is also available as an eBook, with the eBook edition noted for enhanced typesetting intended to make longer reading sessions easier on the eyes.
The story follows Jonathan and his family through a series of emotional ups and downs, according to the announcement, with the narrative built around themes of surrender, faith and finding unexpected blessings in difficult circumstances. Castle has described her writing as motivated by a wish to share stories that "uplift, encourage, and draw readers closer to God," according to the release.
The author’s background is described in the announcement as rooted in Christian faith, which the publisher says shapes the book’s spiritual perspective throughout.
"Small Packages Big Impact" is available through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, the Apple iTunes Store and Google Play, as well as through Page Publishing directly.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the detail worth noting here is the format: a faith-themed children’s book aimed at family reading, rather than the adult inspirational fiction that dominates most self-published faith titles crossing this desk.
