Palmetto Publishing releases a delightful new addition to a Midwest pioneer fiction series, promising love, redemption, and warmth all around WHEN LIGHT COMES UNEXPECTED cover Charleston, SC, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author John W. Vander Velden returns with the fourth installment of his heartfelt Misty Creek Saga—this time in a journey that spans the continent, from the fabled small town of Misty Creek to the nation’s Midwest. Set in the rugged beauty of 1890s America, When Light Comes Unexpected is an inspirational novel with a distinctly Christian heartbeat. Get ready for another extraordinary tale about the redemptive power of community. Readers of Misty Creek have fallen in love with the Sonnefelts, who have long accepted that they will never have children of their own. Now, Matthew and Elizabeth must embark on an adventure they never before thought possible, as they receive a letter calling them to travel to Illinois in order to reach three orphans looking for a home. Meanwhile, young Nick Coulter is left to manage the Misty Creek mill. His coming-of-age story is marked by new challenges, including vandalism, a personal rivalry, and a woman displaced from her home. Fans of the series will know—Nick understands the struggles of homelessness, and he will do anything in his power to help someone who faces them. As the Sonnefelts face legal complications with adopting the children, the oldest child, Lester, yearns to search for his father in Idaho, unconvinced that the man was truly lost in a mining accident. Can the new pair of parents use lessons learned from the hard years of Matthew’s youth and Elizabeth’s teaching experience to guide Lester and his sisters toward a bright future? Vander Velden’s writing lends a signature style that is rich with period details, emotional depth, and an undercurrent of faith and spiritual reflection. For fans of the Little House books and similar frontier America stories, it is the perfect read for middle-aged readers who want a safe, relaxing story free of explicit scenes or coarse language. When Light Comes Unexpected can be enjoyed with the previous books in the saga, but it functions equally well as a jumping-in point for new readers. Don’t miss this deep and meaningful exploration of what it takes for light to emerge in the darkest corners of our lives.

The expert jury selected Dragan Grabulovski, Ph.D., Philipp Spycher, Ph.D., and Isabella Attinger-Toller, Ph.D. of Araris Biotech, from a group of outstanding life science entrepreneursThe founding team is developing a breakthrough technology to establish a new generation of targeted cancer therapiesCommittee representatives presented the award and the EUR 100,000 cash prize on Thursday, July 3, 2025 Munich, Germany, July 04, 2025 – The Strüngmann Award selection committee today announced that Dragan Grabulovski, Ph.D., Philipp Spycher, Ph.D., and Isabella Attinger-Toller, Ph.D., the founders of Araris Biotech, have been honored as this year’s winners. The award aims to support outstanding entrepreneurial and scientific achievements, as well as ground-breaking ideas in the life sciences industry. Araris Biotech’s founding team distinguished itself not only by developing of a novel technology in the antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) field, but also by successfully validating this innovation through partnerships and a preclinical exit. This new drug class has the potential to significantly advance the development of targeted cancer therapies, thereby delivering added value for people living with cancer worldwide. “On behalf of the award committee and this year’s expert jury panel, we would like to congratulate Isabella Attinger-Toller, Dragan Grabulovski and Philipp Spycher. Together with the expert jury, we selected the founders of Araris Biotech as winners based on their combined leadership, entrepreneurial expertise and scientific excellence. Following the successful acquisition of Araris by Taiho Pharmaceuticals, we believe this award further recognizes the founding team’s continued growth and positive trajectory ahead. This trio has impressively demonstrated how a new idea, a clear focus on translation and entrepreneurial boldness can come together to launch a new generation of targeted cancer therapies,” said Andreas Strüngmann, M.D., and Thomas Strüngmann, Ph.D., in a joint statement. “It was a special privilege for us to engage with such a diverse, forward-looking group of start-ups from the DACH region. Learning more about the finalists and their impressive achievements made the final decision anything but easy.” The group of finalists selected in May comprised three companies: Araris Biotech, NovaGo Therapeutics and TOLREMO therapeutics, whose founders exemplify the entrepreneurial potential and scientific diversity that characterize the life sciences sector in the DACH region. They include an impressive variety of disciplines — spanning targeted cancer therapies, regenerative neuroscience and cancer drug resistance. Following the presentation of their entrepreneurial and scientific achievements to an expert jury, Dragan Grabulovski, Ph.D., Philipp Spycher, Ph.D., and Isabella Attinger-Toller, Ph.D., were announced today as the winning team and will receive a joint cash prize of EUR 100,000. "We feel very honored to have our vision and achievements recognized by the Strüngmann Award. As the founding team, we have always believed in the potential of our new technology and the value it may hold for patients. This award, in addition to the acquisition by Taiho Pharmaceuticals, is a validation of our commitment, shared journey and the hard work that has enabled our success story," said Dragan Grabulovski, Ph.D., CEO of Araris Biotech, on behalf of the founding team. The Araris Biotech founders, the experienced biotech entrepreneur Dragan Grabulovski, Ph.D., (CEO), the visionary scientist Philipp Spycher, Ph.D., (CSO) and the outstanding translational scientist Isabella Attinger-Toller, Ph.D., (CTO), can look back on one of the most successful Swiss biotech startups to be established in recent years. Spun out of the Paul Scherrer Institute (part of ETH domain) in 2019, the team developed a novel ADC linker-payload technology (AraLinQ™) that enables one-step payload attachment to off-the-shelf antibodies, without the need for prior antibody engineering. This innovative approach not only opens new possibilities in oncology, but also has potential for applications in other therapeutic areas. In only a few years, the Araris team raised over CHF 40 million, formed a strategic partnership with Chugai (Roche) and Johnson & Johnson, and achieved a landmark acquisition by Taiho Pharmaceutical in March 2025 for up to USD $1.14 billion. Through these achievements, the three winners exemplify the potential within the DACH region to successfully translate scientific excellence into global innovation. About the Strüngmann AwardThe award was established in 2024 to recognize outstanding entrepreneurs realizing revolutionary ideas in the DACH life science sector. The goal is to reward exceptional achievements with a prestigious prize and to further the development of the next generation of leaders in this space. The award was named to honor twin brothers Andreas Strüngmann, M.D., and Thomas Strüngmann, Ph.D., who are among the important entrepreneurs, visionaries and investors in the life science sector. As the founders of Hexal, they achieved extraordinary entrepreneurial success and as investors, they have continued to repeat that success for more than 20 years by building and developing leading companies across the industry, including Mainz-based BioNTech.
