SeaWolf Press Releases Two New Books in Its Black History Collection

[ad_1]

Orinda, CA, January 29, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Just in time for Black History Month, SeaWolf Press has added two new books to their Black History Collection. They each have their own unique story and most people are unaware of the controversy about who reached the North Pole first.

A Negro Explorer at the North Pole by Matthew Henson
Matthew Alexander Henson, born in 1866 to sharecropper parents, was an African American explorer who accompanied Robert Peary on seven voyages to the Arctic over a period of nearly 23 years. The first African American made a life member of The Explorers Club, he was awarded the Hubbard Medal by the National Geographic Society, and even had a lunar crater named after him. A Negro Explorer at the North Pole is his account of the expedition to the North Pole in 1908 with Commander Peary. Henson mastered the Inuit language and was a skilled craftsman and outdoorsman. Henson was identified as the first member of the party to actually reach the pole.

The House Behind the Cedars by Charles Chesnutt
Charles Waddell Chesnutt was an American author born to parents who were both “free persons of color.” Charles identified as African American but noted that he was seven-eighths white. He is best known for his stories exploring complex issues of racial and social identity in the post-Civil War South. He was also active in the NAACP. The House Behind the Cedars was published in 1900. The story occurs in the southern American states of North and South Carolina a few years following the American Civil War. It follows a woman of mixed white and black ancestry who chooses to live as a white woman. Her racial identity is called into question when she falls in love with a white aristocrat. The portrayal of interracial romantic relations was very controversial at the time.

New Children’s Book ‘Mocha, the Ground Fairy’ Follows a Guinea Pig Determined to Fly

New Children’s Book ‘Mocha, the Ground Fairy’ Follows a Guinea Pig Determined to Fly

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Dr. Leslie Merida-Gonzalez has published a new children’s book, "Mocha, the Ground Fairy," through Fulton Books. The story follows Mocha, a brown, fluffy guinea pig who attempts to fly using wings built from leaves and twigs, only to land, each time, skidding on her bottom, which earns her the teasing nickname from her fellow guinea pigs.

Merida-Gonzalez is a music teacher in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where she works with children with varying needs. She holds a doctorate in education with a focus on exceptional student education, a background she says shapes how she thinks about reaching different kinds of young readers. According to the announcement, the guinea pig characters in the book are drawn from pets her own children had growing up.

The book centers on Mocha’s refusal to quit despite ridicule from her peers, drawing courage, in the story, from her grandmother’s fairy tales. "Through Mocha’s journey, I wanted to remind children that falling doesn’t mean failing," Merida-Gonzalez said in the announcement. "Every stumble is simply another step toward finding the magic that’s been inside them all along." The publisher describes the book as aimed at encouraging children to keep trying after setbacks and to embrace what makes them different.

"Mocha, the Ground Fairy" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Fulton Books’ website.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees stories like Mocha’s as part of a steady stream of small-press children’s books built around a simple, repeatable idea: a animal protagonist, a visible flaw, and a lesson about persistence. The appeal isn’t novelty, it’s execution, and that’s worth watching for in any read-aloud picture book pitched this way.

Fulton Books Author Abagail Lynn Releases Fantasy Adventure “The Rebel”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Abagail Lynn has released a new novel, "The Rebel," a fantasy adventure centered on an unsuspecting character drawn into a clash between two worlds where the kingdom’s fate hangs in the balance. The book is published through Fulton Books.

According to the announcement, the story follows an unsuspecting hero thrust into extraordinary circumstances as tensions between the two realms escalate. The publisher describes the novel as blending adventure, romance, and themes of hope, with the protagonist discovering hidden strength while confronting questions about sacrifice, belonging, and what it means to stand against long odds.

The paperback edition runs 846 pages and was published in April 2026, according to retail listings for the title. Lynn’s narrative approach, per the announcement, pairs action sequences with emotional character work, aiming for a story that moves between danger and quieter, more personal moments.

"The Rebel" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the appeal of this one will come down to execution: epic-fantasy premises built on a "two worlds collide" setup are common, and the 846-page length suggests Lynn is aiming for a fuller immersion in her world rather than a quick read.
