STRIKE IX - The Story of the Big East College Forced to Eliminate its Baseball Program and the Team that Refused to Lose (click HERE to access STRIKE IX book page)

It has been more than twenty years since the last game of baseball has been played at Providence College, a program that had produced numerous Major Leaguers, including Lou Merloni and John McDonald. This book was written as a tribute to the 1999 Friars baseball team. The players, knowing they would be the last to wear a Friar baseball uniform, went out and had the best season in the 80-year history of the school's baseball program. Playing with a lot of heart, talent and emotion, the Friars won the Big East Championship and entered the NCAA Division I Tournament with a lot more to prove.

    On the night of February 20, 2003, a crowd of nearly five hundred people were packed inside a small nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island to listen to the music of 80's rock band, Great White. During their opening song, a pyrotechnic display ignited a stage wall. A rampaging fire spread quickly, engulfing the interior and trapping many people inside before they could escape. Within minutes, the incident became the fourth deadliest fire in U.S. history, killing 100 people and injuring 200 others.

     From the Ashes is Gina Russo's personal story of survival and the aftermath of the worst catastrophe's the state of Rhode Island ever suffered.

THE LEGEND OF LAKE INCUNABULA - And Other Fantastic Tales  (CLICK on book cover image to access Amazon book site)

Because this collection includes original short stories that were crafted over a span of many years, the different stages of my life - and the literary influences that shaped me during those periods - arewritten onto every page like a timeline. Several stories have been previously published, but for most this is the first time they have appeared in print, and all of them have been updated and edited for this collection.
While eachselectionwaschosen as a featured attractionin the amusement park that is this dark fantasy anthology, the stories are quite diverse, encompassing several subgenres, ranging from urban fantasy to children's stories, Lovecraftian to body horror, and even a ghostly romance. Like any amusement park, there is something for everyone. There is a narrative about baseball and superstition taken to a terrifying extreme, a mobster ghost story that takes place in a restaurant where the spirit of a mafioso who had been gunned down there haunts a troubled salesman, and a tale thatdelves into the dark realm of child abuse and how the cycle can be broken, among other chilling yarns.
There are eleven tales of the bizarre and unusual in all.
Enjoy the ride!

THE GOBLIN PITCHER
 The outcome of a battle between good and evil comes down to one game…

 

 

The Goblin Pitcheris available in ebook and paperback formats as well as a special edition jacketed hardcover.

This fantasy adventure novel is intended for ages 7-12.

Kids will love this story, especially if they love baseball.

What I'm really excited to announce is thatthe paperback and hardcover editions feature illustrations by 9-year-old Avery Palmer. It was a lot of fun working with this very talented young lady, for whom I see great things happening in the future. I'm sure you will agree.

The one thing eleven-year-old Jake Lupo loves more than anything else is baseball.

However, despite his father being a professional pitcher, Jake's fear of failing has kept him from competing against children his own age. When his father, who has recovered from a serious arm injury, is invited to pitch for an independent team, Jake and his parents move to Pine Barrows, a far flung forested mountain outpost. Jake is excited about his father's chance at a comeback, but he soon learns that he is not the only one in Pine Barrows who loves baseball. Goblins love to play baseball, too, and Pine Barrows happens to be chock full of them. Then Jake discovers that the region is occupied by two factions of warring goblins.

Seeking to take control of the goblin kingdom, the leader of the evil goblins kidnaps Jake's mother and bans baseball, a game which itself is a natural source of power for the goblins.

It turns out that Jake has a secret kinship with the legendary beings, and he is the only one who can save them, their kingdom, and his mother. However, Jake must believe in himself and play a winner-take-all game against the best goblin players in Pine Barrows.

My son was the inspiration for this book. He loves baseball, as do I. He continues to play in youth leagues, and I have had opportunities to be involved coaching teams he's played on. Sharing this time with him, and seeing his growth and development as a player and a young man from inside the dugout has been a tremendous source of pride for me.

My son's name is Jake, like the character in this book, and he is also a pitcher. However, I must emphasize that this book is a work of fiction. Any reference to historical or mythological events, real people, or goblins are ficticious. All names, characters, places and events are the products of the author's imagination, and any resemblance to actual events, places, persons or goblins is entirely coincidental. That being said, I hope you enjoy The Goblin Pitcher.

THE GOBLIN PITCHER

Avery Palmer, who provided the sketches you'll find in the paperback and hardcover editions of The Goblin Pitcher, is the charming and talented little sister of my son's teammate and friend, Ethan.

She is nine years old, and she has a wonderful imagination to go along with a passion for reading as well as drawing. Her brother is also a pitcher, and she suspects sometimes that he may actually be a goblin.

Below are some of the drawings Avery created for the book.
