“Olympia: The Birth of the Games” Now Available in Paperback
[ad_1]
In ancient Greece and across the Mediterranean, kingdoms strive for dominance. The great powers of Carthage and Egypt look on with avarice as the might of the Greeks is spent warring between themselves, oblivious to external dangers. Year in and year out, the people suffer at the hands of their rulers and the famine and pestilence that comes with conflict. Yet often hope springs from the most unlikely sources. There is one amongst the Greeks who sees light where others only perceive darkness. One who sees that there is another way to settle conflict – with honor and courage. One who will set aflame a torch that will burn for thousands of years, down through the ages. In an epoch of chaos and strife, a new force for peace is born with the first Olympic Games.
Olympia: The Birth of the Games is the brainchild of two distinguished authors: Dr. Michael O’Kane is a published academic author who has worked extensively with Australian Aboriginal communities. Michael lives with his partner Erin, their two children Felix and Patrick and their curly retriever Molly. Dr. John A. Martino is a disabled veteran, honorably discharged from the Australian Defense Force. He wrote his PhD in Classical History through Monash University and the University of Melbourne on martial violence in the Old World and the New. The book is enriched with a foreword by Professor Alexis Lyras, founder and president of the “Olympism For Humanity Alliance.”
Olympia: The Birth of the Games, 228 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211-154-1, is available at HistriaBooks.com and from all major book retailers. The book is also available in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook formats. Titles published under the various imprints of Histria Books are distributed worldwide by the Independent Publishers Group.

Retired Sacramento Pulmonologist Pitches Self-Monitoring Alternative to Health-Care Bureaucracy in New Book
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Del Meyer, a Sacramento-based pulmonologist, has authored a book contending that the central challenge in American health care stems not from clinical medicine but from the bureaucratic and insurance infrastructure surrounding it. "Health Care America" is out now through Fulton Books.
Meyer’s argument centers on routine, preventive care rather than acute or hospital treatment. According to the announcement, the book lays out an algorithm-based approach that would let individuals track their own wellness and routine health indicators without routing every check through a physician visit or insurance claim, reserving the traditional system for cases that genuinely require hospital-level care. The publisher describes the aim as lowering the cost of day-to-day health monitoring while keeping outcomes steady or improving them through structured, self-directed protocols.
Meyer’s background is clinical rather than political. The announcement credits him with establishing the first comprehensive pulmonary services program in the Sacramento region and building a career around chronic disease management, after training that the publisher describes as at some of the nation’s top institutions. That combination of bedside medicine and systems-level frustration is the lens the book is written through, per the announcement.
"This book emerged from the recognition that Americans pay for complexity and bureaucracy rather than better health," Meyer said in the announcement. "By returning control to informed patients and streamlining diagnostic protocols, we can transform health care from an expensive, frustrating experience into an efficient, accessible system that serves everyone better."
The book joins a long shelf of health-policy critiques aimed at American insurance and administrative costs, a debate that has run for decades among health economists without consensus on a fix. Meyer’s contribution is notably specific and tool-based rather than purely diagnostic, proposing a protocol readers can act on rather than simply a critique of the system as it stands.
"Health Care America" is available through Fulton Books’ website, Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether Meyer’s self-monitoring framework draws interest from health economists or physicians outside his own practice — a credentialed author with hands-on clinical experience is a stronger starting point than most self-published health critiques get.

Anthony V. Pugliese Expands 2020 Horror Collection in New Edition of “All Things Truly Wicked”
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Anthony V. Pugliese has released a second edition of "All Things Truly Wicked," an expanded version of the horror and supernatural fiction collection he first self-published in 2020, through Newman Springs Publishing.
The new edition revises the original ten stories and adds fresh material, including seven original poems, according to the book’s listing. Stories range from a priest confronting a Mayan bat-demon in the Yucatan and an alien invasion told through a teenage outcast’s perspective to a centuries-old witch reborn via curse and an ancient, hungry entity growing in a backyard flower bed. The book draws its title from a line in Ernest Hemingway’s "A Moveable Feast."
Pugliese was raised in Steelton, Pennsylvania, and now lives in Harrisburg. He’s a former Pennsylvania National Guard member and retired Commonwealth employee who has also pursued paranormal research and co-hosts a podcast on unexplained phenomena, interests the publisher says shape the book’s sense of dread. He cites Stephen King, Dean Koontz, William Peter Blatty, and Ira Levin as influences, and has previously published in small-press magazines, anthologies, and academic journals.
The book’s description frames its recurring theme as moral erosion rather than sudden villainy: characters who begin as ordinary people are pushed, gradually, toward supernatural reckonings that accelerate a fall already underway. "These stories ask uncomfortable questions about the capacity for darkness within us all," Pugliese said in a statement. "I wanted to create narratives where readers cannot simply dismiss the characters as villains, because their descent into wickedness feels disturbingly plausible."
The publisher’s description notes that some scenes are graphic, and that the stories lean on religious and folkloric elements to ground their supernatural premises.
"All Things Truly Wicked (Second Edition)" is available through Newman Springs Publishing’s website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as at bookstores. Studio CarryOnHarry will be curious whether the added poetry and new stories meaningfully extend the 2020 original or mostly round out its edges.
