Book Description
January 29, 2019 Eddie Smith is a chubby bear of a guy who lives in Daytona Beach and doesn't work much anymore but isn't retired. Whit Hall has just retired as a tight end for an NFL expansion team and lives in San Antonio. At 52, Eddie feels at home with himself and has learned how to roll with life. He's happy enough where he is and doesn't expect much to happen anytime soon. At 35, Whit is ready for a life that put less of a strain on his body. He's banked plenty of dough but doesn't know what to do next. . . . About to sit down to his favorite take-out lasagna, Eddie gets a call from a friend who wants to hire him to help Whit figure out what's next in his life. Eddie is a kinda, sorta life coach and might be able to help but seriously doubts it. Reluctantly, he climbs aboard his friend's private jet and flies to San Antonio. Once he arrives, he ends up getting a whole lot more than he bargained for. Whit Hall is aggressive, he's angry, and he's under a lot of pressure. It's a good thing Eddie (sorta) knows what he's doing! . . . Now that he's retired, Whit is looking for the next thing. He's set, with plenty of bank. And he's doing what he can to deal with his parents, who are all up in his business. A lot. Then, one Wednesday morning, he opens his front door. Before he knows it, Whit is chasing Eddie Smith out of his house, down the street, and even further. It's a good thing Whit is (kinda) in shape for this new type of chase! . . . Neither man wants to go far... But unexpected changes are chasing them both... Wherever they end up going, and whatever ends up happening, this will be the beginning of something new and wonderful for them both. . . . This 45K word stand-alone contemporary male/male (MM) romance involves a chubby bear guy and a retired professional football player. Included: Some tension... Hints of a coming-out story...

Book Description
"From 1949-1958, the New York Yankees won the World Series seven times. And in 1957, the last team anybody would have thought of to challenge New York City's baseball supremacy would have been Milwaukee. But who better to beat the Yankees than the Midwest guys at the corner bar? The Braves became America's team, a happy band where color and the Cold War didn't matter, where the Cold One created the close bond between the fans and the team. Young sluggers Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews proved that brotherhood meant as much as home runs. Legendary pitcher Warren Spahn teamed with Yankee-killer Lew Burdette for a climactic finish. 'Bushville' was ready to strike a blow for the rest of America, and the Milwaukee Braves were about to turn the sports world upside down"--

Book Description
If you are a cat lover and a Christian, then this book is for you. Seventeen years in the making, Meows from the Manse is a collection of remembrances and reflections from a Maine pastor about his “cat of a lifetime” and the years they lived together at the parsonage (manse) of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Ellsworth, Maine. Eddie was a stray tomcat that eventually worked his way into the heart of this reluctant minister, despite the fact that this man of the cloth never liked cats. Surrounded by cats in his younger years on a family farm, and always living with a cat or two because of his wife’s love affair with cats (Coleen’s last cat would live twenty-two years—sixteen of them with Eddie), and his kid’s love of cats, the exploits and experience with Eddie would change this pastor’s mind about cats, teaching him the biblical challenge of Job 12:7: “But ask now the beasts and they shall teach thee!” Relive the years with Eddie and the Pearl (Coleen’s cat) and the enriching spiritual lessons this preacher learned from his constant companion and friend through the challenging years as a pastor of a small coastal church, the death of a thirty-nine-year-old son, and the passing of his dear wife of forty-eight years. The cat tales begin with Eddie’s arrival across from the pastor’s church and end with the passing of Eddie from throat cancer. In between are insights you might not believe from the Bible, but for the author were some of the best sermons he heard during that period of his life. Without a doubt for this widower, the messages (meows) from Eddie were some of the best he ever heard, but he will let you be the judge!
