Trixie Neal’s New Book, “Living with LDS Alcoholics: Two levels of healing,” Reveals How Alcoholism Impacted the Author’s Family, Beginning with Her Early Childhood Years


New York, NY, April 21, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author Trixie Neal has completed her most recent book, “Living with LDS Alcoholics: Two levels of healing”: a powerful memoir detailing the ways in which binge drinking affected her family and took its toll through years of abusing alcohol, despite her parents’ public devoutness with a religion that demands prohibition from its members.

Growing up as the oldest sibling in a family of active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, alcoholism was present but well-hidden throughout the early years of author Trixie Neal’s life and beyond, with the kind of impact on family dynamics that have been documented repeatedly. With prohibition against alcohol within the Church, making healing and recovery more difficult, Trixie’s family struggle with openly discussing the root cause of the problem in a faith that espouses abstention and has a shadow side of making judgments.

Neal shares, “The title ‘Living with LDS Alcoholics’ sure sounds like an oxymoron, right? Lived it. This personal perspective is just that. It is my account as the firstborn child in my family with my view of upbringing and beyond. My interpretation may be slightly different from that of my three younger siblings. This is my journey of growth and falling but getting back up repeatedly. Without the Gospel of Jesus Christ’s teachings and blessings, I do not believe I would still be here to share this difficult but miraculous story of the two levels of healing. If I can but help one person struggling with similar challenges, then the hours of writing this will be priceless to me.”

Published by Fulton Books, Trixie Neal’s book is shared in the hopes of giving others struggling with addiction consequences an enhanced hope through the atonement of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Living with LDS Alcoholics: Two levels of healing” online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks postponed its debut, a founding XM executive has released a memoir about the satellite radio company’s launch. "They Pay for Water: Building XM Satellite Radio from a Paper Concept to Millions of Subscribers," by Dan Murphy, went on sale August 17 in ebook, paperback and hardcover, according to the announcement.

The company was set to launch its inaugural U.S. satellite radio service on September 12, 2001, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego markets. Murphy and the executive team flew out of Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of September 11, per the announcement. The launch was pushed back, going live September 25 and expanding nationally by that November.

After joining Sony as a 24-year-old with minimal prior experience, Murphy spent 15 years helping to capitalize, build, and launch XM’s satellite infrastructure, create its receivers, and establish distribution channels in retail and automotive sectors., the announcement states. "After Walkman, Discman, I was looking to join the next big audio innovation when a recruiter called," Murphy said. "It sounded perfect. It was going to be radio the way it should be."

The volume addresses the company’s funding rounds, satellite deployment, distribution challenges across retail and automotive channels, programming strategy, customer economics, multiple Chapter 11 threats, and its ultimate acquisition by Sirius., according to the announcement. "We had spent years getting ready for the biggest launch of our careers, and then the country stopped," Murphy said. "For weeks afterward, I did not know whether anyone would still care about satellite radio."

Positioned as both corporate history and personal narrative, the book targets audiences seeking insight into the construction of major consumer-facing ventures requiring substantial capital investment. — a framing the announcement ties to ongoing debates in the audio industry over subscription economics. It is Murphy’s first book and is available now on Amazon.

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Author Tagore Almeida’s new book, “SALIGIA: The Evil Is Outside. The War Is Within.,” is now available on Amazon, according to the announcement promoting the release.

The title is not invented for the book. SALIGIA is a centuries-old Latin mnemonic device used in Christian theology to remember the seven deadly sins: Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Ira (wrath) and Acedia (sloth). The sins themselves never appear as an explicit list in the Bible; the grouping developed within early Christian tradition, drawing on scattered biblical passages, and the acronym became a memory aid for clergy and laypeople alike. The announcement itself does not spell out this connection, though it’s central to how the book’s central conceit works.

Where the traditional mnemonic catalogs vices, Almeida’s book inverts it: according to the announcement, the story is structured as a journey through a symbolic ancestral dwelling with separate rooms, each embodying different virtues rather than sins — courage, compassion, humility, integrity, forgiveness, reverence and love. Other promotional material describes the book as a mythological fantasy following characters named Salem and Medea on a quest against the forces the title names, and credits the release to publisher The Alcove Publishers, which has described the book as blending mythology, self-reflection and mystery.

The announcement frames the project as “a fusion of mythological elements, spiritual themes, philosophical inquiry, and personal exploration,” built around the idea that readers already possess the virtues the book examines, rather than seeking them from external sources.

The book is currently listed for sale on Amazon under Almeida’s author page.
