New Paltz, NY, March 03, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Joseph Laudati, an accomplished author as well as a stop-motion puppeteer and photographer, has completed his new audiobook, “Pixylations”: a charming and moving tale about the chaos that arises when the pixy and human worlds meet.

“Faela is a mischievous pixy in Ireland who just can’t stay out of trouble,” writes Laudati. “Whether embellishing flowers, tantalizing goblins, or creating an uproar with the ‘big-folk,’ her magical hijinks can test the mettle of even the most patient fairy. Most of all, she loves to ‘pixylate’ humans, stealing their bodies and taking them for a joy ride. Her best friend Scuff warns her against such things, but what does a ‘guh-nome’ know?”

Published by Audiobook Network, author Joseph Laudati’s new audiobook is an exciting book that takes a turn when playful Faela pulls one prank too many. As punishment, the Faerie King orders Faela to become a house fairy or else she will be banished. As a house fairy, she is assigned to a human family grieving the loss of their mother. Faela is tasked with restoring joy to Ellie, the youngest daughter. Unbeknownst to everyone, Ellie has the “gifted sight,” meaning that she has the unique ability to see fairies.

Faele quickly bonds with shy Ellie. Soon, Faela begins longing to experience romance like humans do. She has her pixy eyes set on Ellie’s older sister Katie’s handsome ex-boyfriend. When he comes calling, Faela pixylates Katie’s body in an attempt to reunite the lovers. Hijinks ensue as Faele and Katie’s dueling personalities collide in one body. But bigger problems lie ahead as the Pooka, an evil shape-shifting goblin, makes it his fiendish goal to claim Faela as his bride.

Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of “Pixylations” by Joseph Laudati through Audible, the Apple iTunes store, or Amazon.

Sandra Haynes’s New Novel “Fate” Follows Two Lives Changed by a Single Meeting

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Sandra Haynes has released a new novel, "Fate," a romance built around one chance meeting between two people and how that meeting reshapes both of their lives. The book is out now through Newman Springs Publishing and is available at major retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

The story follows two characters whose paths cross unexpectedly, according to the announcement, setting off a relationship neither one saw coming. From there, the book traces how that single encounter ripples outward, testing the couple through what the announcement describes as life’s unpredictable challenges while they try to build something lasting without losing their individual sense of self.

Haynes has described the novel as an attempt to work through some of the bigger questions romance fiction tends to circle back to: what draws two particular people together, how a couple holds together under strain, and what it actually takes to build a life with someone else. "Through writing this story, I wanted to capture the essence of how love transforms us," Haynes said in the announcement. "Every relationship contains its own unique adventure, and I hope readers see their own experiences reflected in these pages."

No detailed author biography accompanied the release, so how "Fate" fits into any earlier work by Haynes isn’t clear from the material provided. The premise — a single fateful encounter reshaping two lives — sits within a long tradition in romance fiction of chance-meeting narratives, a structure readers of the genre will likely recognize.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the interesting question with a book like this isn’t the plot, which follows a familiar romance template, but whether Haynes’s take on "transformation through connection" gives readers something more specific than the setup promises.

New Novel “Uncharted Life” Follows a Bestselling Author Confronting His Father’s Murder Trial

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Theresa A. Bandaccari-Stephens has published a new novel, "Uncharted Life," a 310-page work centered on Daniel Carlson, a bestselling author whose career takes off just as his family collapses. According to the announcement, Daniel’s father is set to stand trial for murder, in a case tied to the death of Daniel’s mother and an attack that also targeted Daniel himself.

The book follows Daniel as he tries to rebuild after losing what the announcement describes as his greatest source of support, while also confronting his feelings for Lisa, a childhood friend who stayed close to him despite what the author describes as his neglect. The publisher frames the novel around themes of resilience, forgiveness, and self-discovery, and poses the question of whether Daniel can build a stable life while still processing trauma and reckoning with relationships he let slide.

"I wanted to tell a story about survival and the possibility of redemption," Bandaccari-Stephens said in the announcement. "Daniel’s journey reflects how we all must sometimes find our strength from within when those we love most are no longer present."

Bandaccari-Stephens lives in California with her husband, Michael, and their two cats and two dogs. Before this novel, she published two poetry anthology collections. According to the announcement, she draws on a range of professional experience and writes primarily about settings and situations she knows firsthand.

"Uncharted Life" is published through Newman Springs Publishing and is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Bandaccari-Stephens’ move from poetry into long-form fiction is received, given that this marks her first novel-length work.
