#WriteWed The Boys of Summer and Rookie of the Year

I’m really excited to have released ROOKIE OF THE YEAR mainly because this was a series of my heart when I wrote it over 10 years ago. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR was originally slated for release in 2001, but the line for which I was writing went on hiatus and the book was never released. This is what the original cover looked like! Cartoon covers were big back then, but I like the new cover much better!

I love baseball as you know and back then very few publishers were willing to take on any kind of book with a sports hero. It was therefore quite awesome to be able to do the series about a sport I love. Plus, I got to give NJ their own team finally! Yes, we do have lots of minor league and independent ball clubs in NJ, but I wanted a Major League Baseball franchise in NJ. Maybe one day we’ll get one.

I hope you’ll check out ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. It’s specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time.

The next book in the series, A WINNING SEASON, will be out soon!

RookieoftheYearHoping the Mets can come back from the brink tonight! If you like the Boys of Summer as much as I do, score a free copy of ROOKIE OF THE YEAR by going to this link: http://www.instafreebie.com/free/j7l1p

All I ask is that you leave an honest review of the book. Here is a little blurb for it.

If you like sports romances with sexy baseball heroes, you’ll love the heat and emotion in Rookie of the Year!

Alicia Santos knows she shouldn’t be tempted by the team’s new rookie catcher. . .

But Joe Fernandez isn’t just your average baseball player. He’s a potential rookie of the year with amazing skills on the field. Smart, sexy and determined, he’s fought hard for everything in his life and Alicia appreciates that kind of focus. But she’s older and wiser, or so she thinks, until Joe sets his sights on winning her over off the field. . .

Joe Fernandez has never backed down from a challenge . . .

Especially when it’s a woman like his team’s beautiful trainer. He doesn’t mind that she’s older or stubbornly refusing to give into her attraction for him. He’s a patient man and little by little he wears away her resistance.

Nights spent together are glorious and forbidden . . .

Alicia and Joe work hard to keep their personal and professional lives apart to avoid problems on the baseball field. When a career-ending injury threatens their newfound love, Alicia and Joe must find the strength to rebuild Joe’s body and restore balance to their lives.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

#TeaserTuesday Rookie of the Year

Rookie of the YearI love baseball and I loved being able to write some books with baseball player heroes. The first book, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, is now available at various retailers. The second book, A WINNING SEASON, will be out in November! So exciting!

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR is, as you may guess from the title, the story of Joe Fernandez, a young rookie on a fictional NJ expansion baseball team. Joe is a hot shot catcher who is attracted to the team’s female trainer. Besides the issues with the two of them working together, the trainer, Alicia Santos, is a number of years older. The age difference bothers Alicia a lot, but not Joe. He’s determined to find out more about the sexy trainer and prove to her that he’s interested in something more permanent than a one night stand.

#ManCandyMonday Buster Posey

Buster Posey is adorable. Such a cutie and a great ball player. He’s also the reason there is now a rule dictating how you can hit a catcher at the plate. In 2011, he was seriously injured in a collision at home plate.

Which brings up Saturday’s Utley tackle of Ruben Tejada of the Mets. I can’t call it a slide, because it wasn’t. Now you know I’m a Mets fan, but over and above that, I’m a baseball fan. I’ve watched lots of games. I played catcher on a softball team for a long time. That slide was uncalled for and injured a player. It also changed the course of the game and Utley’s suspension won’t change that now. He should have been called out and the game should have progressed with two out in that inning.

I always liked Utley, but that hit changed my impression of him FOREVER. If someone would do that to another ball player to win a game, in my humble opinion, he’s not a nice guy.

But Buster Posey is a nice guy and again, adorable. I love his face in this commercial for Esurance.

#AManCandyMonday Bryce Harper Washington Nationals

My Amazin’ Mets may be in the midst of a pennant race with the Washington Nationals, but there is no denying that outfielder Bryce Harper is one delicious piece of Man Candy! Plus, he’s an amazing ball player. in 2012, Bryce was the first rookie ever chosen for the All-Star team and was the National League Rookie of the Year that year. Since then, Bryce has racked up amazing numbers and is considered one of the best in the game.
