HERRIMAN, Utah,
May 14, 2021 (Newswire.com) –
Sandra Larson, MSW, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with the victims of abuse and conducts general clinical counselling ,and Kathy Ockey, MSW, LCSW, a respected author who has served 20 years of her life in the field of sexual health and trauma, have completed their most recent book “Healthy Sexuality: A Values Based Approach Managing Healthy Relationships in a Sexualized World”: thought-provoking research that aims to broaden the formal education on healthy sexuality. This instructive work is written as a tool for adolescents, parents, as well as counselors and educators in exploring the depth of sexuality and the values attached to it.
Sandra and Kathy write, “Healthy Sexuality is a long-neglected area of learning that is needed for the growth required to be a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted adult. Frequently, formal education on healthy sexuality is completely lacking, especially in a values-based context. What values do you equate with sexuality? Are the ideas presented in popular culture reflective of those values? Understanding the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, and legal consequences is valuable in making informed decisions. Concepts such as choice and accountability, self-control, and intimacy will increase the knowledge of adolescents, which can empower them with confidence as they make informed decisions about their sexual concerns. They will be better prepared to make the decisions that are right for them before they are in a situation where they could be pressured or it is hard to think. Confronting the myths and effects of sexual abuse can help recognize the effects, acknowledge the struggle of healing, offer hope, and increase compassion to those that have been affected whether directly or indirectly. Pondering the information and questions in Healthy Sexuality: A Values-Based Approach to Managing Relationships in a Sexualized World will aid adolescents, along with parents, educators, counselors, treatment providers, etc. to enhance needed conversations and the quality of relationships. Information is power.”
Published by Fulton Books, Sandra Larson and Kathy Daniels Ockey’s book is a descriptive exposition that guides readers in managing their sexuality in a healthy way in order to obtain a much safer, healthier and happier life.
Readers who wish to experience this eye-opening work can purchase “Healthy Sexuality: A Values Based Approach Managing Healthy Relationships in a Sexualized World” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.

Sandra Haynes’s New Novel “Fate” Follows Two Lives Changed by a Single Meeting
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Sandra Haynes has released a new novel, "Fate," a romance built around one chance meeting between two people and how that meeting reshapes both of their lives. The book is out now through Newman Springs Publishing and is available at major retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
The story follows two characters whose paths cross unexpectedly, according to the announcement, setting off a relationship neither one saw coming. From there, the book traces how that single encounter ripples outward, testing the couple through what the announcement describes as life’s unpredictable challenges while they try to build something lasting without losing their individual sense of self.
Haynes has described the novel as an attempt to work through some of the bigger questions romance fiction tends to circle back to: what draws two particular people together, how a couple holds together under strain, and what it actually takes to build a life with someone else. "Through writing this story, I wanted to capture the essence of how love transforms us," Haynes said in the announcement. "Every relationship contains its own unique adventure, and I hope readers see their own experiences reflected in these pages."
No detailed author biography accompanied the release, so how "Fate" fits into any earlier work by Haynes isn’t clear from the material provided. The premise — a single fateful encounter reshaping two lives — sits within a long tradition in romance fiction of chance-meeting narratives, a structure readers of the genre will likely recognize.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the interesting question with a book like this isn’t the plot, which follows a familiar romance template, but whether Haynes’s take on "transformation through connection" gives readers something more specific than the setup promises.

New Novel “Uncharted Life” Follows a Bestselling Author Confronting His Father’s Murder Trial
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Theresa A. Bandaccari-Stephens has published a new novel, "Uncharted Life," a 310-page work centered on Daniel Carlson, a bestselling author whose career takes off just as his family collapses. According to the announcement, Daniel’s father is set to stand trial for murder, in a case tied to the death of Daniel’s mother and an attack that also targeted Daniel himself.
The book follows Daniel as he tries to rebuild after losing what the announcement describes as his greatest source of support, while also confronting his feelings for Lisa, a childhood friend who stayed close to him despite what the author describes as his neglect. The publisher frames the novel around themes of resilience, forgiveness, and self-discovery, and poses the question of whether Daniel can build a stable life while still processing trauma and reckoning with relationships he let slide.
"I wanted to tell a story about survival and the possibility of redemption," Bandaccari-Stephens said in the announcement. "Daniel’s journey reflects how we all must sometimes find our strength from within when those we love most are no longer present."
Bandaccari-Stephens lives in California with her husband, Michael, and their two cats and two dogs. Before this novel, she published two poetry anthology collections. According to the announcement, she draws on a range of professional experience and writes primarily about settings and situations she knows firsthand.
"Uncharted Life" is published through Newman Springs Publishing and is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Bandaccari-Stephens’ move from poetry into long-form fiction is received, given that this marks her first novel-length work.
