Book excerpt: This is a book about young men who learned to play baseball during the 1930s and 1940s, and then went on to play for one of the most exciting major-league ball clubs ever fielded, the team that broke the colour barrier with Jackie Robinson. It is a book by and about a sportswriter who grew up near Ebbets Field, and who had the good fortune in the 1950s to cover the Dodgers for the Herald Tribune. This is a book about what happened to Jackie, Carl Erskine, Pee Wee Reese, and the others when their glory days were behind them. In short, it is a book fathers and sons and about the making of modern America. 'At a point in life when one is through with boyhood, but has not yet discovered how to be a man, it was my fortune to travel with the most marvelously appealing of teams.' Sentimental because it holds such promise, and bittersweet because that promise is past, the first sentence of this masterpiece of sporting literature, first published in the early '70s, sets its tone. The team is the mid-20th-century Brooklyn Dodgers, the team of Robinson and Snyder and Hodges and Reese, a team of great triumph and historical import composed of men whose fragile lives were filled with dignity and pathos. Roger Kahn, who covered that team for the New York Herald Tribune, makes understandable humans of his heroes as he chronicles the dreams and exploits of their young lives, beautifully intertwining them with his own, then recounts how so many of those sweet dreams curdled as the body of these once shining stars grew rusty with age and battered by experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a haunting coming-of-age story set in North Texas against the backdrop of a deadly tornado, and a character-driven, deeply-affecting supernatural thriller. In 1979, a massive tornado devastates the city of Wichita Falls, Texas, leaving scores dead, thousands homeless, and nine-year-old Todd Willis in a coma, fighting for his life. Four years later, Todd awakens to a world that looks the same but feels different in a way he can't quite grasp. For Todd, it's a struggle to separate fact from fiction as he battles lingering hallucinations from his long sleep. The new friends Todd makes in 1983 are fascinated with his experience and become mesmerized by his strange relationship with the world. Together the five boys come of age during a dark, fiery summer where they find first love, betrayal, and a secret so terrible they agree to never speak of it again. But darkness returns to Wichita Falls twenty-five years later, and the boys--now men--are forced to reunite and confront the wounds from their past. When their memories of that childhood summer refuse to align with reality, the friends embark upon a search for truth that will threaten their lives, and transform their understanding of each other--and the world itself--forever.

Book excerpt: Get swept away in this breezy beach read about love, family, and the true meaning of friendship. Meet the Boys of Winlock Harbor… Grayson Cartwright: Golden Boy. Football Prodigy. Troublemaker. Mike Metzler: Local Heartthrob. Surfer Boy. Hopeless Romantic. Ian Handler: Army Brat. Musician. King of Sarcasm. Best friends since they were kids, Grayson, Mike, and Ian were hoping for another epic summer on “The Locks”, filled with clambakes, bonfires, and late-night swims in the ocean. But that was before Ian’s dad never returned home from his last deployment. Before Mike had to take on more responsibility in order to help provide for his family. Before Grayson’s accident left him with an injured throwing arm and an uncertain future. It’s clear this summer on the island is shaping up to be very different from those Grayson, Mike, and Ian had come to rely on. And when the sacred code of dating a friend’s sister or ex is broken, it will push their friendship to the absolute limit, testing their loyalties in a way that could either break them—or save them.

Book excerpt: Acclaimed baseball writer Roger Kahn gives us a memoir of his Brooklyn childhood, a recollection of a life in journalism, and a record of personal acquaintance with the greatest ballplayers of several eras. His father had a passion for the Dodgers; his mother?s passion was for poetry. Somehow, young Roger managed to blend both loves in a career that encompassed writing about sports for the New York Herald Tribune, Sports Illustrated, the Saturday Evening Post, Esquire, and Time. Kahn recalls the great personalities of a golden era?Leo Durocher, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Red Smith, Dick Young, and many more?and recollects the wittiest lines from forty years in dugouts, press boxes, and newsrooms. Often hilarious, always precise about action on the field and off, Memories of Summer is an enduring classic about how baseball met literature to the benefit of both.

Book excerpt: It seemed only natural to nickname them the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him... Toby Morrison. Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins. To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets. How did she let her friends talk her into working? After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos. All with the one boy she has never been able to forget. It will be a summer she will always remember. Warning: sexual references, and occasional coarse language.

At the age of eighteen, Julia Jones left her hometown – the small beachside town of Middle Point – with a head full of grand plans. Plans for an exciting life in a town that didn't involve a main street with only one pub or a particular boy named Ryan Blackburn. But fifteen years and a lifetime later, Julia's forced to put her career and big–city life on hold when she returns home to finalise her mother's estate. Which is exactly where she runs smack–bang into the town's hero, Ry. As in Ryan Blackburn! The sensible thing to do? Stay the hell away from him and head back to Melbourne as fast as her stilettos can carry her! But instead, Julia finds his offer of a helping hand and a hot body too delicious to refuse. Soon, she's ignoring her better judgement and diving into an 'I'll think about it tomorrow' fling with Ry. But what she doesn't realise is that tomorrow has a way of sneaking up on you...and that saying goodbye to her hometown – and to Ry – is so much harder the second time around. MORE PRAISE 'Purman's descriptions are so vivid, you can feel the sea breeze as you take in the stunning view, taste the salt, smell the coast.' - The Ecelectic Reader

His roommate turns out to be a closeted homosexual, and all the good-looking girls in the dorm are interested in somebody else. When the girl of his dreams—who wants nothing to do with him—joins the school baseball team, it inspires Bud to join, too, in an effort to prove to her she’s all wrong about him . . .

Book excerpt: Teammates, roommates, friends with benefits. What could go wrong? Boys of Summer is a book about finding the perfect person to ride shotgun with on the crazy road trip called life. It contains a Dolly Parton lookalike, an unfortunate deer versus car incident, and poorly-timed epiphanies. Thunder goalie James McVicker learned early on - if you don't want to hurt, don't get attached. So obviously when Vicky finds himself possibly, maybe stupidly, falling in love with his best friend, it only makes sense for him to leave first, right? So why does it feel like he's just made the biggest mistake of his life? Patrick O'Reilly has the greatest best friend in the world. Hanging out with Vicky is as easy as breathing, and adding some epic benefits of the sexual kind only makes it better. Obviously, Vicky isn't in love with him. He's just caught up in the whole wedding thing. If he would just talk to Paddy, they can work all this out and get back to being friends again. The course of true love never did run smoothly, but maybe with the help of their friends and family and some last-minute divine intervention, what started as a road trip could turn into the adventure of a lifetime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “…I remember their faces. I remember their pride in their unit, “STRIKE AND KILL,” but above all I remember their happiness at the thought of going home to family, friends, loved ones, fiancés, and most of all, America. America for everything she stands for, America, the reason they all wore that uniform and the reason they served so far away from home. America must know, America must appreciate, America must miss their most valued treasure, their American soldiers. They ARE a part of something bigger, they always will be. Please let us all remember them together, these young American heroes, from every corner of our nation, who were willing to risk everything for our future. They are forever young; they will always be in the summer of their lives; they are the Boys of Summer.” The author, Michael Casciaro served in the 3-60th Infantry battalion as a rifle platoon leader in 1985 when his unit replaced the 3-502nd in the Sinai Peninsula to assume duties in the Multi-National Force and Observers (MFO) peacekeeping mission between Egypt and Israel. This is his story of the events leading up to and the aftermath of the Arrow Air Flight 1985 crash in Gander, Newfoundland that killed 248 members of the battalion he replaced. It also chronicles the life of an Infantry Second Lieutenant fresh out of the Infantry Officer’s Basic Course (IOBC) and U.S. Army Ranger School after reporting to his first unit. There he endured rigorous training to prepare him to lead his soldiers in combat and perform duties of an officer in the MFO under one of the Army’s most inspirational leaders in the 1980s. Leading men under those conditions was tough, not politically correct, and focused on one thing…ensuring your soldiers survived combat.

Between his uncle who knows all his secrets, a guy who’s grieving, and a girl who instantly dislikes him, Matt wonders if it wouldn’t have been easier just to stay home. Cross Country—Eric Van der Haas hasn’t seen much of his brother since they lost their mom years ago. This summer, though, he’s thrown into an RV with him and asked to cross the country. Joined by his best friend Samantha and his brooding, angry younger cousin Brenda, he expects this to be the worst summer of his life, but maybe God is planning some new beginnings. Measuring Up—Friends call Tom Van der Haas the big brother to the world, but he knows he’s just a difficult person who struggles to keep friends at all, and he knows it won’t be long before roommates Matt and Eric figure that out. This semester his friends will need him, though, and learning to see himself as his friends see him could become a matter of life or death.
