M. Lewis Ryan’s Newly Released “No Hostages Beyond This Point” is a Gripping Story of How the Power of Choice Affects Us All
[ad_1]
Ryan shares, “In Daniel’s life, there are doors. Some of these doors are physical, and others are mental. These doors are all open and welcoming. He passes through the corridors of life because he wants inside of that new existence, that new life where the grass must be greener on the other side, that shiny door. His success story might be there. His freedom is there. His escape from his tormenting past was through that door. He can see others there, and they look happy. So he walked through the open door, never turning around to notice the sign on the back of the door, the sign that read, ‘No hostages beyond this point.’
“Daniel struggles after he is released from prison. He isn’t sure he can change his life after everything he has been through. He joined the MS-13 gang to survive in prison. Will they allow Daniel out of the gang after they find out the truth?
“Daniel meets the girl of his dreams. Emri was the light in Daniel’s darkness, a darkness that resonated through his eyes from within his soul. Daniel fought constantly to free himself from Satan’s bondage. His memories held him hostage behind prison doors that he could not seem to open and leave behind. Daniel was released from prison, but not from his sentence and not from his new names: prisoner, murderer, and felon.
“Daniel possessed a need to be found innocent of his crime. He wanted to be accepted by the very people he had hurt the most. He had made them kings and queens, rulers of his life and happiness. He did not do it on purpose. He had not realized what he had done until the queen he placed on the highest throne decided to sentence him to death.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, M. Lewis Ryan’s new book will tug at the heartstrings as readers learn Daniel’s story.
Ryan shares a compelling narrative with heart as a series of key lessons of life and faith unfold.
Consumers can purchase “No Hostages Beyond This Point” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

New Novel “Blood on Canvas” Draws on Author’s Two Decades as a Boxing Coach
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Ryan Gregory has published "Blood on Canvas: Between Bells," a work of sports fiction that approaches professional boxing through the eyes of a coach rather than a fighter, according to the author’s publisher.
Gregory writes from inside the sport. He founded Cache Valley Boxing in his hometown of Logan, Utah, and organized the area’s first registered boxing event in 2019. His qualifications include USA Boxing Silver Level Coach status and Licensed Contestant Manager credentials, accumulated across approximately twenty years of coaching at both the amateur and professional level, per the announcement.
The book is described by its publisher as a departure from the familiar underdog arc that typically defines boxing stories. Instead, it follows a coach managing fighters’ egos, ambitions, and the business pressures that operate behind the scenes of the sport. The publisher’s description frames the novel as an attempt to show the mechanics of professional boxing, the decisions coaches are forced to make, and the gap between the sport’s public image and its day-to-day reality.
"My goal has always been to bring reality to the often fantasized world of boxing," Gregory said in a statement accompanying the release. "This book is my attempt to entertain readers while pulling back the curtain on how the business truly works, based on real events from my own experience."
"Blood on Canvas" was published through Page Publishing and is available through bookstores and major online retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the coach’s-eye framing as the more interesting bet here: boxing fiction usually sits in the fighter’s corner, and a story told from the person throwing in the towel is a different kind of authenticity claim to test against the page.

New Novel Follows a South Carolina Man’s Obsession With a Cosmic Hum and a ‘Theory of the Universe’
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
W. H. Märchen has a new science fiction novel out, "Are You the One?", centered on Yaiouel "Yo" Elijah Johnson, a young man from Greenville, South Carolina, who becomes consumed by a mysterious cosmic hum only he seems to perceive. Studio CarryOnHarry received word of the release this week.
According to the announcement, Yo’s fixation grows into a search for what he calls a "theory of the universe" — a fractal model in which human consciousness mirrors a cosmic neural network, with past universes seeding new ones and minds echoing across galaxies. The novel sets that search against a backdrop of social fracture, with Yo’s perception positioned as a possible, if improbable, route back to collective connection.
Three companions join him along the way, per the announcement: Amelia, described as psychologically astute; Zahir, a spiritually grounded presence; and Tony, an ex-Navy drifter carrying his own unresolved history. The publisher describes the book as blending coming-of-age structure with existential questions about consciousness, loss, and survival.
Märchen spent roughly 25 years at the National Institutes of Health, working across research projects with scientists from multiple disciplines, and is a partially disabled U.S. Navy veteran holding degrees in electrical engineering and a master of science. Per the release, Märchen initially developed the story as a creative pursuit while recovering, and that his scientific background and respect for diverse faith traditions shaped the book’s handling of its spiritual and existential material.
"This book emerged from my desire to explore how science, spirituality, and human connection intersect," Märchen said in the announcement. "I wanted to ask whether our deepest perceptions of reality might be pointing us toward something we’ve overlooked."
"Are You the One?" is published through Page Publishing and is available at bookstores and through Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
A book pitched as hard science grounded in one man’s real research career, wrapped around a premise this cosmic, is an unusual combination — Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether Märchen’s NIH background gives the novel’s speculative physics more weight than the average genre entry, or whether that’s beside the point for a story this interior.
