[ad_1]
Born in the United States, pd Norman attended school in both Switzerland and Ireland and, after sailing the Irish Sea, the North Sea, the Atlantic, and Mediterranean, she studied at a university in Hawaii. She is currently living in Montana and works as the accountant for an HOA.
Norman shares, “Young Gwen Burney whimsically conjures things and heals people. Her mother worries she’ll attract the wrong kind of attention. Eventually the press notice Gwen’s ‘talent,’ forcing her mother to act, then disappear from her life. Eight years on, archeologist Dr. Burney is leaving Olympic National Forest with her students and dog when two armed men attack her. Gwen fears they will kill her dog and turns back to the forest.
“Minutes later, Commander Ian Loudoun and his cousin are on that stretch of road when a dog races out of the woods. Ian stops to investigate, follows the dog into the wood, and discovers an injured Gwen.
“A phone call from Scotland.
“Gwen is told her mother has been shot and is near death. Yes, Gwen is distressed, confused, angry. Ian fears for her. He’s seen what she does when under stress and suspects she is more than she seems. He pushes her to face her past. Childhood nightmares emerge. Older now, she discovers that what she had believed was her mother’s betrayal was something else, self-sacrifice born of love. Then Ian discovers he’s fallen in love with Gwen Burney.”
Published by Fulton Books, pd Norman’s book is an enthralling journey that will leave readers in suspense as Gwen and Ian work together to solve the mysteries around her mother’s attacker and her unique gifts. Expertly paced and character-driven, “Grey Heart” is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of readers, staying with them long after its thrilling conclusion.

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.

Jan Fowler’s New Book Offers Dating Advice for Singles Over 60
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Jan Fowler, a former licensed speech pathologist and longtime advocate for senior citizens, has released "No More Loneliness After 60: Tips for Attracting a Mate," a guide aimed at helping men and women over 60 pursue romance and companionship, according to the announcement.
The book, published through Page Publishing, grew out of Fowler’s career working with issues facing older adults. In the book, Fowler writes that loneliness in retirement carries health risks, citing research that retired people with no one to talk to or spend time with tend to die sooner. She frames the book as a response to a demographic shift: singles now outnumber married adults, she writes, making the search for late-life companionship a more common experience than it once was.
Fowler’s background spans speech pathology, journalism, and broadcasting. She hosted "Senior Living at its Best with Jan Fowler," a radio and television program profiling senior citizens, and has written on issues affecting older adults. Her honors include the Golden Halo Award from the Southern California Motion Picture Council, a First Place Excellence in Journalism Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, and two "Woman of Achievement" awards from the National League of American Pen Women. She was also named one of ten Inland Empire women to receive the Town & Gown "Phenomenal Woman" award. Fowler founded Starburst Inspirations, Inc., a nonprofit supporting men and women in Drug Court as they work to overcome addiction, work for which she received an award from Redlands Christian Counseling Service.
The book is pitched as a self-help title and gift book, according to its listing, built around practical tips for attracting love and friendship later in life rather than academic analysis of aging or loneliness. It’s available through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books, as well as through Page Publishing directly.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees books like this as filling a real gap: there’s no shortage of dating advice aimed at the young, and comparatively little written by and for people navigating it after 60.
