FACES OF VIETNAM exhibit returns for the third year to the Shepherdstown War Memorial Building in West Virginia on March 24, 25, and 26, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In recognition of the sacrifices and contributions of Vietnam Veterans, Public Law No: 115-15, Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017 designated March 29 as the official day to recognize Vietnam Veterans and their service to the country. FACES OF VIETNAM is a wonderful opportunity to remember those who contributed and served.

Vietnam Veteran J. Kimo Williams returned to Vietnam with his camera, and his stunning photographs are a testament to the land’s beauty and people. Williams’ journey started in 1969 when he thought Vietnam was nothing more than a third-world country, as portrayed by the media. But upon his return to the country in 1998, he realized how wrong he was. Williams has since visited Vietnam several times, capturing the essence of the culture through his camera lens.

The FACES OF VIETNAM exhibit showcases the people that Williams encountered during his trips to Vietnam, and it is a truly unforgettable experience. Williams’ work is not just limited to photography; as a composer, he has also remastered and rereleased his DownBeat 41/2 Star album War Stories, featuring esteemed musicians like Mike Stern, Victor Bailey, and Vinnie Colaiuta. Pulitzer Prize winner Studs Terkel also provides a liner note introduction to several tracks.

Williams wants his music to be heard like an abstract painting on canvas, and it is sure to inspire a range of emotions in its listeners. You can find War Stories on streaming platforms and during the exhibition in Shepherdstown.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to experience the beauty and culture of Vietnam through the eyes of J. Kimo Williams and reflect on the contributions of Vietnam Veterans. 

War Stories is available at www.Kimotion.org, on streaming platforms, and during the exhibition in Shepherdstown.

Katt Taylor’s New Novel Follows a Woman’s Fractured Spirit from Darkness to Awakening

Katt Taylor’s New Novel Follows a Woman’s Fractured Spirit from Darkness to Awakening

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Katt Taylor has released "The Mental Woman Within," a novel tracing the spiritual unraveling and eventual awakening of a woman named Sarah Jane, published through Newman Springs Publishing.

The book’s synopsis describes the account of Sarah Jane, whose consciousness became trapped at age five and existed in profound darkness for decades, unaware of her own aliveness while what the synopsis calls forces of fear, shame, and temptation work against her. The narrative follows her toward what the publisher frames as a spiritual reckoning with good and evil, built around a recurring image of a "garden of truth" where hope, possibility, and fear coexist. According to the book’s own description, Sarah Jane eventually confronts a force called Destruction, framed as working against what the text calls God’s plan for her, and the synopsis notes a follow-up title, "Luke’s Destruction," as forthcoming.

Taylor was born to a teenage mother in Tallulah, Louisiana, and has said her mother’s own unpublished writing first pushed her toward authorship. She raised five children, now has fifteen grandchildren, and counts V.C. Andrews among her primary literary influences on her approach to emotionally charged, spiritually driven storytelling.

"This story represents my attempt to give voice to those who feel trapped within themselves," Taylor said in a statement announcing the book. "Sarah Jane’s journey is about recognizing that even in our darkest moments, transformation and spiritual awakening remain possible if we choose to listen to the voice within."

"The Mental Woman Within" is available at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see whether Taylor’s promised sequel, "Luke’s Destruction," builds directly on Sarah Jane’s story or strikes out into new territory.

New Children’s Book ‘Mocha, the Ground Fairy’ Follows a Guinea Pig Determined to Fly

New Children’s Book ‘Mocha, the Ground Fairy’ Follows a Guinea Pig Determined to Fly

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Dr. Leslie Merida-Gonzalez has published a new children’s book, "Mocha, the Ground Fairy," through Fulton Books. The story follows Mocha, a brown, fluffy guinea pig who attempts to fly using wings built from leaves and twigs, only to land, each time, skidding on her bottom, which earns her the teasing nickname from her fellow guinea pigs.

Merida-Gonzalez is a music teacher in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where she works with children with varying needs. She holds a doctorate in education with a focus on exceptional student education, a background she says shapes how she thinks about reaching different kinds of young readers. According to the announcement, the guinea pig characters in the book are drawn from pets her own children had growing up.

The book centers on Mocha’s refusal to quit despite ridicule from her peers, drawing courage, in the story, from her grandmother’s fairy tales. "Through Mocha’s journey, I wanted to remind children that falling doesn’t mean failing," Merida-Gonzalez said in the announcement. "Every stumble is simply another step toward finding the magic that’s been inside them all along." The publisher describes the book as aimed at encouraging children to keep trying after setbacks and to embrace what makes them different.

"Mocha, the Ground Fairy" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Fulton Books’ website.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees stories like Mocha’s as part of a steady stream of small-press children’s books built around a simple, repeatable idea: a animal protagonist, a visible flaw, and a lesson about persistence. The appeal isn’t novelty, it’s execution, and that’s worth watching for in any read-aloud picture book pitched this way.
