Continuing the theme of how wonderful it is to be able to hold in your hands a paper copy of what you read, the Gazette Newspaper was kind enough to feature my book in today’s print edition (May 16, 2012).  Many thanks to Cody Calamaio for her complimentary article about Deadball, entitled Ghosts of the Pastime.  Here is an excerpt:

“The book tells the story of former minor league baseball player Byron Bennett who sees things he can’t explain when visiting historical locations connected with baseball. He sees images of forgotten old ballparks where modern buildings now stand and interacts with people who seem to be from another era.  After his minor league career ends without ever making it to the big leagues, Bennett goes on a journey to discover baseball’s hidden past. His wife and teammates don’t believe in his visions and urge him to leave the past in the past, but something drives Bennett to continue to sort out the mystery.”

Of course the irony of this post is that I am now about to provide a link to the on-line version of the Gazette article.  After that I’m heading over to CVS to buy some hard copies for posterity, and a copy for my folks as well.  Those of you in the D.C. area, be sure to keep an eye out for your copy of the Gazette sitting in your driveway when you get home.
