C. R. Violet’s The Saddlebag Preacher of Pike County Showcased at the 2026 London Book Fair
One of the largest international literary events, the London Book Fair 2026, presents a tale of perseverance and hope on March 10–12 in London, England. The Saddlebag Preacher of Pike County is a work of literary fiction that offers a quiet meditation on what it means to keep going when no one is watching.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 28th Apr 2026 – Following a young and inexperienced preacher, this character-driven novel traces his travels from one scattered settlement to another as he carries nothing more than a saddlebag and the responsibility of his calling. The places he visits are marked by distress and misfortune—homes shaped by loss, relationships strained by hardships, and rural communities that rarely see anyone from the outside for long.

In each settlement, he is met with circumstances he cannot easily change—grief that does not resolve in a single conversation, tensions that remain after he leaves, and lives shaped by difficulty that his presence can only briefly touch. Over time, these encounters and the isolation of constant travel weigh on his sense of purpose, leading him to question the value of his work when its effects are often unseen or unfinished. These experiences bring his sense of purpose into tension with doubt.
The Saddlebag Preacher of Pike County explores the human tension between spiritual conviction and personal doubt, positioning it among contemporary literary fiction that examines faith and uncertainty. The preacher is not portrayed as flawless; his faith is something he must deliberately maintain in the face of adversity, isolation, and discouragement.
The book further reflects the realities of working with limited control over outcomes, where effort does not always produce visible results. It portrays the experience of carrying responsibilities despite uncertainty, a theme that resonates strongly in modern literary narratives focused on perseverance and purpose.
This perspective reflects C. R. Violet’s grounding in lived experience. Violet is a self-published author with professional experience in marketing, public relations, and nonprofit management. She is a graduate of The Ohio State University and lives in the Midwest, which informs the regional setting of her fiction. The Saddlebag Preacher of Pike County grows out of the stories her mother shares about life in southern Ohio, as well as the discovery of long-forgotten family documents. Together, these accounts reveal a family and regional history grounded in place, forming the foundation for this historical-inspired literary work.
The Saddlebag Preacher of Pike County is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers.

TianYi High-Tech Launches TA Series Carbide Roller Rings for High-Speed Rolling Mills
New proprietary grade family delivers up to 3x throughput improvement; company to showcase at ISME VIETNAM 2026 Booths 132-135
Loudi, China, 28th Apr 2026 – Hunan Tianyi High-tech Materials Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“TianYi High-Tech”), a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise and national “Little Giant” specialized enterprise, announced the official launch of its TA Series — a new generation of cemented carbide roller rings engineered specifically for high-speed wire rod and bar rolling mills. The TA Series encompasses three specialized grades: TA30 for ultra-high-speed wire rod finishing blocks, TA40 for high-speed bar mills in the 12-16 mm range, and TA50 for high-speed bar mills in the 18-25 mm range — each delivering measurable gains in throughput, wear life, and thermal stability.
The announcement coincides with TianYi High-Tech’s participation at ISME VIETNAM 2026, where the company will present the TA Series live at Booths 132-135 at the Hanoi Metallurgy & Steel Exhibition. The event marks a significant milestone in TianYi High-Tech’s expansion strategy across Southeast Asia, with a presence spanning Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Thailand.

A New Chapter in Roller Ring Performance
Modern rolling mills are under constant pressure to increase throughput without sacrificing product quality. TianYi High-Tech’s TA Series rises to this challenge through proprietary formulations and advanced hot-press sintering processes, achieving a rare combination of superior wear resistance, high hardness, and exceptional thermal stability.
TA30 — Wire Rod Finishing Mill
The TA30 is purpose-built for the finishing block of high-speed wire rod mills. Engineered to operate across the full wire rod rolling range of 5.5-20 mm, the TA30 delivers a step-change in mill productivity: plant trials have demonstrated throughput improvements of 1 to 3 times depending on mill configuration and operating parameters. The TA30 maintains consistent dimensional accuracy across extended rolling sequences, significantly reducing the frequency of roll changes and associated downtime.
The TA30 also performs with excellence in reducing mill configurations, making it one of the most versatile grades in its class for wire rod producers seeking to maximize output from existing assets.
TA40 — Bar Mill (12-16 mm)
The TA40 addresses the demanding requirements of bar mills rolling rebar and round bar in the 12-16 mm range. Optimized for high-speed continuous rolling, the TA40 delivers consistent groove geometry and surface finish over extended campaign lengths, directly translating into lower cost-per-ton for mill operators.
TA50 — Bar Mill (18-25 mm)
The TA50 is TianYi High-Tech’s premium solution for bar mills in the 18-25 mm segment. Built for heavy-duty, high-impact rolling conditions, the TA50 combines superior compressive strength with outstanding crack resistance, making it the grade of choice for mills demanding maximum durability and minimum unplanned maintenance.

Extended Specialty Steel Capability
All three TA Series grades are also validated for use across a broader spectrum of specialty and high-value steel grades, including:
High-strength Rebar Bars (HRB400E, HRB500E, HRB600E)
Plain Carbon Steel
Tire Cord Steel
Spring Steel
Bearing Steel
Alloy Steel
Cold Heading Steel
This versatility positions the TA Series as a comprehensive solution for mills producing both standard commodity products and demanding specialty alloys — a capability that sets TianYi High-Tech apart in an increasingly competitive global market.
Vertically Integrated Manufacturing: From Powder to Finished Ring
The TA Series is produced entirely within TianYi High-Tech’s own manufacturing facilities, encompassing the complete production chain: raw powder preparation, pressing, sintering, precision grinding, and quality inspection. This vertical integration gives TianYi High-Tech full control over every step of the process, enabling:
Tight tolerances on all critical dimensions
Consistent batch-to-batch quality through standardized process parameters
Full customization to meet specific mill configurations, rolling schedules, and steel grades
Complete supply chain traceability, from incoming raw materials to finished product
TianYi High-Tech’s quality management system is backed by comprehensive international certifications. Every TA Series roller ring undergoes rigorous mechanical property testing and dimensional inspection prior to dispatch, backed by a complete quality dossier — providing mill operators with full confidence in product performance from the first roll to the last.
Certification Scope
ISO 9001 Quality Management System
ISO 14001 Environmental Management System
ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety
AA-level CER Integration of Industrialization and Informatization

On the Ground in Southeast Asia: ISME VIETNAM 2026
As part of its commitment to serving Southeast Asian steel producers, TianYi High-Tech will participate in ISME VIETNAM 2026 — the region’s leading metallurgy and steel industry exhibition — presenting the TA Series at Booths 132-135 at the Hanoi Convention Center.
Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing steel markets, driven by aggressive investment in infrastructure, construction, and manufacturing capacity. Similar dynamics are accelerating demand across Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. TianYi High-Tech’s presence at ISME VIETNAM 2026 reflects its strategic commitment to building long-term partnerships with rolling mill operators throughout the region.
Industry analysts estimate that Southeast Asia will account for a disproportionate share of global new steel capacity additions through 2030. As mills in the region upgrade to high-speed rolling technologies, the demand for high-performance cemented carbide roller rings — such as the TA Series — is expected to grow substantially.

Global Expansion: Serving 60+ Countries and Regions
TianYi High-Tech’s international footprint extends well beyond Southeast Asia. The company’s products are currently deployed in Russia, the United States, India, and more than 60 countries and regions worldwide, serving a diversified client base that includes leading steel producers and precision manufacturing enterprises. Domestically, TianYi High-Tech maintains long-standing partnerships with major steel groups including Shougang Group, Valin Steel, XiangTan Iron&Steel Group, Fangda Group, Sinosteel, BRC Rolls Ltd., MASTEEL etc.

Explora Books to Showcase My Sister My Twin at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair
Explora Books will present Linda McClung’s My Sister My Twin at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, taking place June 17–21 at the CNCC in Beijing. The novel delivers a powerful, emotionally charged story of love, betrayal, and redemption, where survival becomes a journey toward healing the deepest wounds of the heart.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 28th Apr 2026 – When a devastating diagnosis collides with a lifetime of sibling rivalry, two sisters are forced to confront the one bond they cannot escape—each other. Through the parallel trials of life-threatening leukemia and a harrowing abduction, McClung’s novel explores enduring themes of resilience, redemption, and emotional restoration.

Raised as fraternal twins in a household that often feels like a trio with their brother Mick, Kate and Alex grow up under constant comparison. Kate is defined as introspective with a photographic memory, while Alex is recognized for her athletic ability and beauty. These external labels shape their identities and fuel a quiet rivalry—until crisis forces them to shift from competitors for attention to allies fighting for survival.
At the heart of the story is the realization that unresolved resentment can become a burden that stifles growth. During her abduction and confinement, Kate comes to understand that her lingering pain is rooted in anger. This insight becomes a turning point, revealing that healing cannot begin without releasing the betrayals of the past. In doing so, the sisters are compelled to reimagine their relationship and become the support system each has long needed.
The novel also underscores the quiet power of selfless love. Kate’s anonymous donation of bone marrow to her sister—who once rejected her help—becomes a defining act of sacrifice, reframing love as a commitment to survival rather than recognition. This act forms a bridge toward emotional reconciliation between them.
Faith and prayer further anchor the characters in their most difficult moments. Whether Alex turns to Scripture during chemotherapy or Kate relies on memorized verses in captivity, spiritual conviction becomes a source of strength, stability, and endurance.
Beyond emotional and spiritual struggle, the novel highlights the resilience required to endure physical danger. Kate’s medical knowledge and sharp instincts become vital tools for survival as she navigates captivity and ultimately engineers her escape, showing that even in extreme circumstances, human resolve remains unbroken.
McClung’s My Sister My Twin is a compelling portrait of how fractured relationships and personal suffering can evolve into understanding, forgiveness, and renewal—revealing that even the deepest wounds within a family can become the beginning of healing.
At the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, Explora Books will feature the title at its exhibition booth.
My Sister My Twin is also available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers.
