New York, NY, February 15, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “The Christmas Miracle as Told by the Animals in the Manger”: a delightful adventure in the city of Bethlehem. “The Christmas Miracle as Told by the Animals in the Manger” is the creation of published author Mark Hughes, a native of Muskogee, Oklahoma, and a graduate of Northeastern State College with a degree in journalism/education and a history minor. Upon graduation from college in 1976, Hughes joined the Marine Corps as a second lieutenant and retired in 1996 as a lieutenant colonel. His specialty in the Corps was public information, media relations, and community relations. When he retired from the Marines, Hughes obtained a master’s in communication and then worked for the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant as their public information specialist, retiring in 2012. He is currently working on the second volume in this series, “The Reunion.” He’s also writing the first book about the history of Oklahoma’s McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. Lastly, he is obtaining his master’s degree in biblical theology online.

Hughes shares, “A family of mice, a donkey, a lamb, and a pigeon retell the saga of the night of Christ’s birth. Harold Brown is president of Mouse Transportation Company and delivers cheese and other food stuff to mice around the city of Bethlehem. Mr. Brown’s family consists of his wife, Harriet, their daughter, Henrietta, and their son, Henry. Their living space is located next to the trough in a manger that just happens to also be occupied by Lucy the Lamb and Bruno the Donkey. The antics of Pedro the Pigeon provide amusement as he flies in and out of the Browns’ lives. However, the need to continually find fresh food for the Brown family exposes their lives to danger.

“One night, a very pregnant Mary, riding a donkey and accompanied by her husband, Joseph, appear at the manger to prepare for the birth of their son. From that moment on, each manger occupant plays a role in the unfolding drama of the Christmas miracle. But after all the celebrations and worshipping by the shepherds and the magi, God informs Joseph in a dream to immediately head to Egypt the next day. Since the birth of Jesus, the Brown family realized he was special since they experienced a peace they had never known before. When the Browns hear about their departure, Mr. Brown begs Joseph to take them with him, but Joseph firmly tells him, ‘No.’

“With Mary on their donkey, Joseph gives the animal a swat on the rump that begins their journey to Egypt. The Brown family weeps because the peace they had experienced with Mary, Joseph, and Jesus leaves with them, and they wonder if they’ll ever see the three of them again.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Mark Hughes’s new book will bring the story of Christ’s birth to life like never before for upcoming generations.

Hughes crafts an enjoyable fiction that celebrates the true reason for the Christmas season.

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.
