March 20, 2026 - Two PathBinder authors have had stories written about them in Indiana newspapers recently.
Cheryl Fiscus Jenkins was featured in the March 13 Daily Journal (Franklin, Ind.) in a story about her new book. Titled "Race of life: Trafalgar author's new book uses faith to guide through struggles," the story by Ryan Trares talks what led Jenkins to write Let God's Grace Shine on Your Race: A Spiritual Roadmap to a Faithful You, her second book, and first with PathBinder. It published March 12.
The story says, in part:
Cheryl Fiscus Jenkins was weary. First her sister developed COVID-19 in early 2024, reacting to medication and ended up on a ventilator, staying in the hospital for 40 days.
Then in August, her stepfather fell out of bed and suffered a brain bleed. A few months later she received a phone call that her father had died. Then her stepfather died.
"At that point, I was very weary in my race, with everything that had come up," Jenkins said.
In the face of her significant losses and tumultuous struggles, she learned to trust in God. Her experience became the basis of her new book.
Her aim is to showcase how faithful God is in your life, guiding through the toughest of circumstances.
Meanwhile, Alabama author Byron Cartwright was featured in a story in The (Columbus, Ind.) Republic on March 11, highlighting speaking events on March 20-21 in Columbus. "Columbus' musical history explored in speaker series" by Hallie Gallinat talks about events at Helen Haddad Hall on Friday and at First Christian Church on Saturday, as well as discussing the book the events are based on, Amazing Sounds in a Midwestern Town: Columbus Indiana, Small City with a Big Musical Heritage (PathBinder, Sept. 2025).
The Haddad Hall event kicks off the Bartholomew County Historical Society's annual Evelyn Seward Speaker series with Cartwright's talk, titled “Roots and Rabbit Holes: A History of Music in Columbus."
Cartwright is quoted in the story: “I’m a lover of history, I’m a lover of architecture, I’m a lover of music, and so all those came together and I hope to capture the imagination of people who love history, music in that way,” Cartwright said. “And I think Columbus has a rich, rich musical history.”
