JK Hogan’s “Raised By Wounds” Hits No. 1 in Two Amazon Kindle Categories
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
The book achieved top rankings across two Amazon Kindle categories: Inner Child and 90-Minute Parenting & Relationships Short Reads, according to the announcement. The book also placed No. 2 in the 90-Minute Self-Help Short Reads category, per the same release.
The book, according to independent listings, explores the ways early trauma influences behavioral patterns throughout a person’s lifetime — specifically, the idea that survival strategies learned early in life can crowd out the capacity to receive or trust love later on. Hogan has described the material as drawn from his own experience with trauma, survival, and healing, according to available author information.
Hogan’s other published work includes "Home of the Strange," the first book in his Worldwalkers series, which carries a 4.3-star average from reader reviews on Amazon’s Kindle store. That fiction credit sits alongside "Raised By Wounds," which appears to be a more personal, nonfiction departure for the author.
Amazon’s Kindle rankings operate on sales performance within tightly defined subcategories — a structure that allows a book to reach No. 1 in a niche category without necessarily topping Amazon’s overall chart. The announcement did not specify the date or duration of the No. 1 rankings.
Studio CarryOnHarry is less interested in the category rank itself than in what it points to: a self-described trauma memoir finding an audience in a crowded self-help market, at a moment when reader interest in books framed around childhood wounds and emotional survival shows no sign of slowing.

New Book “Camp Grampy” Chronicles a Retired Couple’s Homemade Summer Tradition for Their Eleven Grandchildren
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
David R. Stewart has published "Camp Grampy: An Adventure With Grandchildren," a book built around a four-day summer gathering he and his wife, Nancy, started for their grandchildren after Stewart retired.
The idea, according to the announcement, grew out of a practical problem: grandchildren living in different cities who barely knew each other as cousins. Stewart and his wife set a recurring window each summer, picking the children up on a Sunday and returning them the following Thursday, timed around his Rotary Club schedule. Over time, that logistical arrangement became a standing family tradition with a name of its own.
Stewart draws on a background in sports, board games, and youth mentoring through scouting and Sunday school programs, according to the announcement, and he and Nancy built Camp Grampy around crafts, games, and activities modeled on traditional summer camp. The book states that children needed to be at least five years old to participate, a threshold set so everyone attending could take part in the full program. The family now includes eleven grandchildren, per Stewart.
"This book represents our family’s joy in building lasting memories and demonstrating to our eleven grandchildren that they matter," Stewart said in the announcement. "We wanted to show other families how accessible these meaningful experiences can be when approached with love and creativity."
The publisher describes the book as offering grandparents and extended families a model for building their own recurring traditions, framed around the argument that intentional, structured time together can carry weight beyond an ordinary visit. "Camp Grampy" was published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a familiar shelf of grandparent memoirs turning a family ritual into a template for others, and that’s exactly the kind of book that tends to find its readers by word of mouth rather than headlines.

Brian Brady’s latest thriller, titled "The Crew," shifts away from San Francisco and explores international locales according to an announcement circulated this week.
The announcement positions this title as a shift for Brady, whose previous fiction has centered on the San Francisco Bay Area Details on plot, characters, and publisher were not included in the material provided, and no author biography or backlist accompanied the release.
Publishing contains multiple books with the title "The Crew" It’s also the name of a 2025 nonfiction book by fire chief Matthew Aalto on firehouse leadership and accountability, and echoes Stephen King’s 1985 story collection "Skeleton Crew." None of that overlaps with Brady’s book in subject matter, but readers searching for it online should expect some noise in the results.
Beyond the shift in geography, the announcement does not specify what genre conventions the book follows, who its central characters are, or where its globe-trotting story actually takes place. Those are the kinds of details that typically separate one thriller from another on a crowded shelf.
Studio CarryOnHarry will hold off on further comment until more specifics on plot and publisher emerge, but a known author moving away from a signature setting is usually worth a second look once the book itself is available.
