New Epic Fantasy Middle Grade Book “Raven, Romda and Ravai: Malketh and the Undead” by Dave Maruszewski, Continues the Saga
“Whether you want to read this aloud to your little one or let them explore this magical world on their own, parents can rest assured that this second installment in the Raven, Romda, and Ravai series will be a playful, whimsical addition to their bookshelves.” – The Book Review Directory
Dave Maruszewski continues his Raven, Romda and Ravai Middle Grade (MG) series with Malketh and the Undead. Malketh and the Undead is the second book of the series where the trio set off on journeys of epic fantasy while dealing with common everyday challenges.
The first book had the three heroes experience an inhuman villain on their first mission beyond the walls of their training. In this second story, the more experienced trio has to take a larger step on their journey. They are pitted against a former mage of the kingdom. After years of exile and being buried in a catastrophic incident, Malketh (the mage) has returned. This time he brings an entire undead army with him.
The first book in the series tended to be traveling adventure, where world building came as a result of what they found through their trek. The second book will be more in depth on the kingdom and lays rich in backstory for not only the Malketh but Raven, Romda and Ravai, as well. Dave Maruszewski has promised that the book will reveal the first impressions of how certain characters met.
The series overall strives to entertain youth who may not like to read or have a hard time reading. The author hopes that parents will enjoy reading it either with or in parallel with their children. Shorter paragraphs, higher dialogue and engaging interactions are some of the devices that are employed to encourage non-traditional readers.
Whereas many writers rely heavily on description and setting, Dave Maruszewski tends to error on the side of paucity in order to engage the readers’ imagination. His intention is to give them just enough information that they will “fill in the blanks.” In this way, he is creating interaction between the story and person reading it, making the book original to each who read it.
The book is intended for Middle Graders. It is suggested, but not reserved, for ages 8-14. Content includes action, some violence and magic, but avoids profanity, lewdness, mature themes and morally corrupt protagonists. It is meant to display the virtue of three young people who endeavor to be heroes for the people they serve. Comedy is used to lighten some of the more intense parts.
Dave Maruszewski has this series continuing well into many volumes, although each book will be a self-contained story. That way a newcomer won’t feel lost. He actively is also working a game plan for a host of books to come. In fact, his third volume is in the editing stage already, and he hopes to publish it within the next year.
As a person of a varied background, Dave tries to employ aspects of all of his past pursuits in his writing. His experiences include being detonation physicist, teacher, painter, 3D modeler, animator, video game maker, software engineer, comic book dealer and engineering analyst. He maintains that all of these are useful in writing, at least for a paragraph.
The book’s official launch date is on April 18, 2023, although the pre-order period has begun. Malketh and the Undead is published by BookBaby. It is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other major outlets. Dave is open to interviews or guest writing.

Two new consciousness‑style paperbacks on Amazon
Two new consciousness‑style paperbacks on Amazon, Author Ruby Dosanjh has released, expanding a growing body of atmospheric, introspective fiction. The titles — Likewise and Otherwise — explore the quiet emotional shifts that happen between two people who are paying attention.
The first release, Likewise, is a story about subtlety and mirrored feeling. It follows the second meeting that changes the first, the presence that fits too perfectly, and the kind of recognition that arrives without language. Described as “a quiet echo,” the book offers a soft, atmospheric experience for readers who sense emotional shifts before they can name them. Some connections linger — not because they’re forced to, but because they belong.
The second paperback, Otherwise, moves into deeper territory. It traces the moment reflection becomes truth, when two people think of each other without stopping and without softening it into something smaller. What begins as quiet awareness grows into something unmistakable — familiar, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. Otherwise follows the slow, honest shift from noticing to knowing, and the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending nothing is happening.
Together, the releases mark a clear evolution in Ruby Dosanjh’s one‑word consciousness series — stories that move gently, speak quietly, and leave a lasting imprint. Both paperbacks are now available worldwide on Amazon.

How To Read People Like A Book Enters Competitive Body Language Genre
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Sebastian Clark has released "How To Read People Like A Book: The Subtle Art of How to Analyze People and Speed-Reading to decode Body Language, Intentions, Thoughts, Emotions, Behaviors, and Connect Effortlessly!", first published in 2022, according to an announcement received by Studio CarryOnHarry.
The book lands in a crowded shelf of nonverbal-communication guides. Its own marketing places it alongside Allan and Barbara Pease’s "The Definitive Book of Body Language," Joe Navarro’s "What Every BODY is Saying," and Thomas Erikson’s "Surrounded by Idiots" — three long-running titles that have anchored the popular body-language genre for years. Clark’s book positions itself as a newer entry covering similar ground: understanding facial expressions, gestures, posture, and vocal tone to reveal someone’s actual thoughts.
According to the announcement, the book walks through strategies applicable across various contexts including professional environments, social gatherings, and interpersonal connections — with the stated aim of helping readers spot emotions and intentions that go unspoken. Listed topics include facial expression and gesture analysis, context-specific body language decoding, interpreting non-verbal communication, reading vocal cues for emotional undertone, and trusting intuitive reads of subtle signals. The work is categorized within social science studies.
No further biographical detail on Clark accompanied the announcement, and independent listings for the title largely repeat the same publisher description rather than adding new information about the author or the book’s reception since 2022.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we’re interested in whether books like Clark’s deliver on their practical promise. The appeal of body-language guides lies less in theory and more in real-world application—the job interview where you’re trying to gauge whether the hiring manager is genuinely interested, the first date where mixed signals leave you uncertain, the negotiation where knowing if the other party is bluffing matters financially. Clark’s positioning across "professional environments, social gatherings, and interpersonal connections" suggests he’s aware readers want transferable skills, not just academic frameworks. The question worth asking: does his approach to vocal cues, facial analysis, and contextual interpretation actually equip readers to make better decisions in these high-stakes moments? Or does it risk reinforcing the confidence-without-accuracy trap that plagues intuitive people-reading? For readers considering this purchase, the gap between what body language can reliably tell us and what we wish it could tell us deserves scrutiny.
