Kelsey Hart reflects on a right time, wrong place kind of relationship on “Something That You’d Miss.” Despite wishing things were different, he doesn’t hold a grudge against the girl who chose her hometown over him. The tender, descriptive track paints a picture of fond memories and an amicable goodbye as he admits he can’t compete with the Carolina coast that captured her heart long before he did. The wistful original serves as the follow-up to Hart’s incendiary “Fireworks,” which impacted Country radio and was #3 Most Added.The country riser recognizes old habits die hard on “Fireworks.” Even as he’s lighting the fuse, he knows he’s playing with fire on a song that acknowledges that irresistible spark is bound to burn out. The explosive summertime jam and current radio single soundtracks the temporary highs that often lead to heartbreak and regret. A fresh twist on a familiar trope, “Fireworks” extends the Kentucky native’s line of new music that’s recently included searing, full-throttle original “I Went to the Bar” and propulsive, hard-hitting offering “Gone With the Wind.”Curb Records recording artist, songwriter, and Kentucky native Kelsey Hart has found his way into the artist spotlight, a place he’s dreamed of being since his childhood days of belting gospel music from the passenger seat in his Dad’s truck. With 190 million career streams, he is making an impact as the launch of his RIAA Gold, Top 30 debut radio single “Life With You” has garnered 130 million global streams, 650 million TikTok views, 1.1M TikTok Creates, debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Country Digital Songs Chart, and reached #1 on the Hot 30 Weekend Countdown on SiriusXM The Highway. As a songwriter, Hart has secured his place among the best and brightest in the community, penning songs for hitmakers such as Jake Owen, Dylan Scott, and Trace Adkins. Kelsey’s debut album, "Life With You," is available now. During 2025, Kelsey will be releasing more new music with “Gone With The Wind,” “I Went To The Bar,” and "Fireworks” available now, and “Something That You’d Miss” on August 22. This year, Hart toured with Restless Road as direct support on their Goin’ Out Like That Tour.

Though the Catholic Church is not new nor immune to scandals and corruption, the premise of an action-filled thriller, Vatican Daughter is sure to stir some controversy.Author Joni Marie Iraci’s novel is sure to shock and entertain readers with a story that is based on little-known facts that take us into a cauldron of secrecy, hypocrisy, and power. “When you write about what goes on behind the walls of the Vatican, you realize that, like any corporation, leadership will go to great extent to protect their organization from the public exposure of a scandal, even when the price involves deadly violence.”When the first American pope is about to ascend the throne of St. Peter, he confesses his affair with a female journalist who's about to give birth to his child. The confession given to a corrupt traditional cardinal, sparks a murderous spree as the baby is taken and kept sequestered behind the walls of the Vatican. The injured mother is taken to Venice where she is kept in a Benedictine convent secretly guarded by an unscrupulous Vatican spy.Twelve-years pass before the mother fully recovers. The child, shielded from the outside world, is wise beyond her years and at great risk. She challenges the hypocrisy around her. Under the tutelage of the kindly Bibliotheca of the Vatican Archives, she gains access to hidden Vatican documents and begins to question the validity of Vatican teachings.With vivid detail, Vatican Daughter takes the reader on a suspenseful journey through the cities of Rome and Venice as one woman attempts to expose Vatican treachery and retrieve her kidnapped daughter from behind the walls of the most powerful entity on earth.

A thrilling, cinematic saga of a Southern belle whose espionage for Abraham Lincoln and the Union helped win the Civil War.Wealthy Southern belle Elizabeth Van Lew had it all. Money, charm, wit—the biggest mansion in Richmond. So why risk everything to become the Civil War’s most productive Union spy?The answer was simple: freedom. In this gripping history of a secret espionage genius, Gerri Willis reveals how Elizabeth built a flourishing spy network in the heart of the Confederate Capitol. Flouting society’s expectations for women, Elizabeth infiltrated prisons, defied public opinion, and recruited an underground movement of freed slaves, secret Unionists, and brave captives.Putting her straitlaced Victorian past behind her, Elizabeth encountered vivid characters—assassins, socialites, escape artists, and cross-dressing spies. From grave robbery to a bold voyage across enemy lines, her escapades grew more and more daring. It paid off. Her agents were so well-placed that she had spies gathering information in both the Confederate War Department and the Richmond White House, and couriers providing General Ulysses S. Grant with crucial, daily intelligence for the war’s final assault.
