Tom Dozier’s New Book, “Adventures of Treebread and Goodleaf,” Centers Around Twin Brothers Who Must Learn to Lead Double Lives While Using Their Gifts to Help Others


Churdan, IA, May 02, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author Tom Dozier, a retired manufacturing engineering manager for a large equipment manufacturing company who has always enjoyed reading history, science fiction, and fantasy novels, has completed his most recent book, “Adventures of Treebread and Goodleaf”: a gripping fantasy that follows twin brothers who use their gift of magic to assist those around themselves, all while simultaneously realizing they are different from the others in their society.

Currently living on a family-owned farm in North Central Iowa with his wife, Julie, author Tom Dozier raises grain and animals for the farm markets. Tom and Julie’s farm has been the perfect place for family gatherings, and while their grandchildren were young, they would spend their summers on the farm in an annual “grandkid camp.” Grandkid camp meant cooking lessons with Julie, games, swimming, horseback riding, camping, fishing, caring for baby sheep, gathering eggs, and Treebread and Goodleaf bedtime stories.

Dozier writes, “‘The Adventures of Treebread and Goodleaf’ takes place in the hidden magical country of Felinon. The story tells of the early lives of twin boys born to Skyryder and Starlight. The story covers how Treebread and Goodleaf were born and raised to adulthood in the remarkable Fel society. It tells how they were taught life skills and learned to control magic to survive in a world filled with danger. Treebread and Goodleaf have the special ability to manipulate magical energy from the universe to change forms into another living creature. They use this ability to help solve mysteries and problems for others.

“Through their magic use, Treebread and Goodleaf grow to realize they are very different from other Fel children. It is frightening and exciting at the same time. They are amazed by the abilities of their transformed creatures to sense the world differently. What does the world smell like to a fox? What is it like to soar in the sky as a hawk? They must learn to adapt quickly to the world as they transform to another life form to help solve problems,” writes Dozier.

“With the help of their family, they do learn how to live their dual lives. As Treebread and Goodleaf mature, they begin to understand that their differences will not allow them to live a normal life. They cannot share a female companion. They cannot be physically separated by long distances. Even with their remarkable abilities, they are not very happy with their lives of responsibility and secrecy.

“Treebread and Goodleaf do eventually learn that they have lived a life of separation without understanding the cause. As they reach adulthood, they finally understand their full potential. The family secret can finally be told. A new hero is born to Felinon. Will this hero’s skills be able to meet the coming challenges to save Felinon from destruction?”

Published by Fulton Books, Tom Dozier’s book began nearly fifty years ago, when the author started telling stories to his sons at bedtime, their favorites being tales of Treebread and Goodleaf. Encouraged by his family to publish his stories, Dozier now shares the tales of Treebread and Goodleaf for readers of all backgrounds to enjoy. Expertly paced and brimming with fully realized characters and impressive world-building, “Adventures of Treebread and Goodleaf” is sure to delight readers and capture their hearts and imaginations, all while leaving them spellbound and desperate for more with each turn of the page.

Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “Adventures of Treebread and Goodleaf” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Releases Novel About First Responder’s Life After 9/11 at No Cost

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author Erin Strong is offering her novel "She Never Left Ground Zero: A Novel of Courage, Love, and the Hidden Cost of 9/11" as a free download through September 30, according to the announcement. No registration, email address, purchase, subscription, or review is required, and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

The novel is fiction but draws on the real experience of an NYPD officer, per the announcement. It centers on Sofia Vega, an NYPD officer whose work amid the smoke and debris in the aftermath leads to lasting consequences she and her family must face. Strong has said she wanted to write about what happened to first responders and their families after press coverage of the attacks faded — a theme that echoes a broader body of anniversary-year 9/11 literature, including nonfiction essay collections and survivor accounts published or reissued around the same milestone.

According to Strong, "I wanted to tell a deeply personal story about what happened after the television cameras moved on." "Many first responders and their families continued living with the consequences of September 11 for years. This novel honors their courage, their sacrifices, and the people who loved them through it all."

The free download is available at sheneverleftgroundzero.com. The book will also remain for sale on Amazon and other retailers after the promotional window closes. Strong’s team can be reached through the same website or by phone.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Strong’s September timing as a textbook example of anniversary marketing strategy. Major commemorative dates like the 25th anniversary of 9/11 generate enormous search volume and media attention—precisely when potential readers are already thinking about the subject matter. By anchoring a free promotion to this peak-interest window, authors capture visibility they’d need to spend significantly on advertising to achieve otherwise. The counterintuitive logic: giving away the book for free during high-traffic periods can actually drive more long-term sales than traditional paid campaigns, because it builds audience reach, generates word-of-mouth momentum, and establishes the title in readers’ minds before the promotional window closes. When the book returns to paid status in October, those who downloaded it free become natural candidates for follow-up engagement—reviews, recommendations, and future purchases. It’s a calculated play on consumer psychology and search behavior that extends the book’s commercial lifespan well beyond September.

New Fantasy Novel Explores Orphan’s Journey Through Magic and Danger

New Fantasy Novel Explores Orphan’s Journey Through Magic and Danger

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author C. A. Ballard has released a debut fantasy novel, "The Lost Legacy," following a young orphan protagonist drawn into a battle against a malevolent force seeking to strip the world of its magical power, according to the publisher’s announcement.

The book comes from Newman Springs Publishing, a New Jersey-based author-services publisher that works with writers across genres to produce and distribute their books; the company is handling both publication and promotion for the title. The novel is available in stores and through major digital retailers, including Amazon, Apple, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.

According to the publisher, Zara must safeguard her sibling while partnering with an ensemble of fantastical beings including fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings to combat darkness — against an antagonist seeking to strip the world of its magic.

Ballard, described in the release as a wife, mother and grandmother with a background in accounting and medical billing, said medical challenges led her to pursue creative endeavors. "I wanted to craft deeply engaging stories about everyday individuals finding remarkable capabilities within themselves," Ballard said in a statement. "Zara’s story is about finding your tribe, embracing your power, and refusing to surrender to darkness." The publisher’s announcement notes additional projects from Ballard are already in development.

There is no independent review coverage of "The Lost Legacy" available yet; retail listings confirm the book’s publication details but do not offer critical assessment. Readers interested in the book can find purchase links through the publisher’s website or major retailers.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that Ballard’s ensemble approach—layering fae warriors, mythical creatures, and magical beings alongside a resourceful orphan protagonist—speaks directly to a defining shift in contemporary fantasy publishing. Today’s YA and new-adult readers expect worldbuilding that extends beyond a single chosen one; they crave diverse supernatural allies and complex team dynamics that reflect both traditional mythology and modern storytelling sensibilities. Zara’s "finding your tribe" arc taps into this broader cultural moment where belonging and chosen family rival the hero’s individual journey. As the fantasy market continues to reward narratives emphasizing collective strength over solitary heroism, Ballard’s decision to populate her world with multiple fantastical perspectives positions "The Lost Legacy" within reader expectations that have reshaped the genre over the past five years. This matters because debut authors who understand—and authentically execute—these ensemble-driven narratives are better positioned to build engaged readerships from launch.
