Michael Terence Publishing Announces the Release of “Simply Too Big: An 11-Year-Old Girl’s Battle with Juvenile Gigantomastia” by Nichola H. Walker
A young, fit and healthy 11-year-old girl, with perhaps more than her fair share of childhood ailments, was never going to be prepared for what was to come.
Within 6 months her slim, petite frame had produced breast tissue that went from an ‘A’ cup to a shocking, humiliating and life debilitating ‘L’ cup and there was absolutely no one who knew when, how or if, it would stop. Her body had turned against her by becoming an autonomous operating vessel, never ceasing in its multiplication of breast tissue, and severely sabotaging the life she once knew.
The Medical Profession called it Idiopathic, the family, who laughed, cried and fought their way through this insidious and iniquitous disease, called it a marauding, monster. Her breast tissue was literally taking over her life, causing untold physical and emotional misery.
The only solution was at best, a breast reduction and the very worst… wasn’t worth thinking about.
This is a story about a mother and daughter’s turbulent journey towards getting back a body normal.
“A powerful, heart-rending, and honest portrayal of one woman’s Herculean battle to heal and protect her young daughter whose body has been tricked into premature womanhood. Beautifully relayed through frustration, devotion, and humour, Nichola’s bravery is astonishing as she takes us on a deeply personal, sometimes harrowing, journey, and one that tests every atom of a mother-daughter bond, as she relentlessly pushes for answers. A profoundly moving, compelling and inspirational read.” – Louise Clover (Writer / Producer/ Director) author of “An Untameable Zebra,” “The Seasons Quartet” series and “Bullring Kid and Country Cowboy.”

A Message from the Author
“In writing this memoir, my intention and probably the most I can expect, is to bring awareness to the condition; Juvenile Gigantomastia, or just Gigantomastia, Macromastia or another name for the same illness, breast Hypertrophy.
“If, as a result, what follows is medical research into the cause of this disease, then so much the better.
“Prevention, however, is better than cure and to be able to avoid this happening at all, would be my ultimate goal.” – Nichola H. Walker

Author Releases Novel About First Responder’s Life After 9/11 at No Cost
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Author Erin Strong is offering her novel "She Never Left Ground Zero: A Novel of Courage, Love, and the Hidden Cost of 9/11" as a free download through September 30, according to the announcement. No registration, email address, purchase, subscription, or review is required, and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
The novel is fiction but draws on the real experience of an NYPD officer, per the announcement. It centers on Sofia Vega, an NYPD officer whose work amid the smoke and debris in the aftermath leads to lasting consequences she and her family must face. Strong has said she wanted to write about what happened to first responders and their families after press coverage of the attacks faded — a theme that echoes a broader body of anniversary-year 9/11 literature, including nonfiction essay collections and survivor accounts published or reissued around the same milestone.
According to Strong, "I wanted to tell a deeply personal story about what happened after the television cameras moved on." "Many first responders and their families continued living with the consequences of September 11 for years. This novel honors their courage, their sacrifices, and the people who loved them through it all."
The free download is available at sheneverleftgroundzero.com. The book will also remain for sale on Amazon and other retailers after the promotional window closes. Strong’s team can be reached through the same website or by phone.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Strong’s September timing as a textbook example of anniversary marketing strategy. Major commemorative dates like the 25th anniversary of 9/11 generate enormous search volume and media attention—precisely when potential readers are already thinking about the subject matter. By anchoring a free promotion to this peak-interest window, authors capture visibility they’d need to spend significantly on advertising to achieve otherwise. The counterintuitive logic: giving away the book for free during high-traffic periods can actually drive more long-term sales than traditional paid campaigns, because it builds audience reach, generates word-of-mouth momentum, and establishes the title in readers’ minds before the promotional window closes. When the book returns to paid status in October, those who downloaded it free become natural candidates for follow-up engagement—reviews, recommendations, and future purchases. It’s a calculated play on consumer psychology and search behavior that extends the book’s commercial lifespan well beyond September.

New Fantasy Novel Explores Orphan’s Journey Through Magic and Danger
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Author C. A. Ballard has released a debut fantasy novel, "The Lost Legacy," following a young orphan protagonist drawn into a battle against a malevolent force seeking to strip the world of its magical power, according to the publisher’s announcement.
The book comes from Newman Springs Publishing, a New Jersey-based author-services publisher that works with writers across genres to produce and distribute their books; the company is handling both publication and promotion for the title. The novel is available in stores and through major digital retailers, including Amazon, Apple, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.
According to the publisher, Zara must safeguard her sibling while partnering with an ensemble of fantastical beings including fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings to combat darkness — against an antagonist seeking to strip the world of its magic.
Ballard, described in the release as a wife, mother and grandmother with a background in accounting and medical billing, said medical challenges led her to pursue creative endeavors. "I wanted to craft deeply engaging stories about everyday individuals finding remarkable capabilities within themselves," Ballard said in a statement. "Zara’s story is about finding your tribe, embracing your power, and refusing to surrender to darkness." The publisher’s announcement notes additional projects from Ballard are already in development.
There is no independent review coverage of "The Lost Legacy" available yet; retail listings confirm the book’s publication details but do not offer critical assessment. Readers interested in the book can find purchase links through the publisher’s website or major retailers.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that Ballard’s ensemble approach—layering fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings alongside a resourceful orphan protagonist—speaks directly to a defining shift in contemporary fantasy publishing. Today’s YA and new-adult readers expect worldbuilding that extends beyond a single chosen one; they crave diverse supernatural allies and complex team dynamics that reflect both traditional mythology and modern storytelling sensibilities. Zara’s "finding your tribe" arc taps into this broader cultural moment where belonging and chosen family rival the hero’s individual journey. As the fantasy market continues to reward narratives emphasizing collective strength over solitary heroism, Ballard’s decision to populate her world with multiple fantastical perspectives positions "The Lost Legacy" within reader expectations that have reshaped the genre over the past five years. This matters because debut authors who understand—and authentically execute—these ensemble-driven narratives are better positioned to build engaged readerships from launch.
