While visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, ex-cop Frank Branco witnesses the death of a former major league player, and his detecting instincts come on strong. He looks into the recent past of the dead man and finds a life lived at the edges. Once a promising rookie, Herb Frawley saw his career take a nosedive after several seasons. Why the abrupt decline? Is it somehow linked to Frawley's death? Hired by Frawley's ex-wife, Branco begins a case that takes him from the Manhattan offices of a big-time sports agent, through the seedy world of Coney Island grifters, to a religious colony on the Jersey Shore. The focus of his investigation becomes an old ballpark vendor whom Branco locates in a Florida rest home. The old man's chaotic memories of a bygone era of baseball land Branco in a thirty-year-old mystery involving pornography, betrayal, and murder. But is he up to solving it? He left the cops after being shot in the line of duty, but his wound goes far deeper than the pain it still causes him, and he must continually probe at the underlying failure it implies. Now time has come full circle, and Branco uncovers a devastating secret that puts him into a ninth-inning situation from which there may be no escape.

When a Poem Meets a Pencil

When a Poem Meets a Pencil is an imaginative collaboration of the pencil drawings of Rob Hedges and the whimsical poetry of Chris Carpenter. Rob and Chris met while working at Gess Elementary in Chewelah, Washington, a small rural school nestled in the Selkirk Mountain Range of the Pacific Northwest. Chris was the music teacher and Rob was a para educator and the two would frequently combine their talents to make a lesson pop, showcase a school community bulletin board, or contribute to the annual PTA Reflections Art Program. Rob came to his career in education after a 23 year stint as a technical illustrator for Hanford, showcasing his drawing abilities in spite of his color blindness. In fact, his color blindness gave him a depth and dimension that set his drawings apart from other illustrators and caught the eye of Chris, who was looking for just the right person to capture the essence of her poems. When a Poem Meets a Pencil is the delightful result of two talented educators combining their efforts and leaving their mark – a mark of joyful wonder and thought.\nThe pages of this book are meant to celebrate the unique view of those who see the world through their color blindness. It is estimated that 1 in 12 males and 1 in 200 females have some form of color blindness affecting 4.5 % of the entire world's population. When a Poem Meets a Pencil also honors the pencil doodlings of lines and curves and the rhythms and rhymes of words that lead to pictures and stories that celebrate life's lessons through reflection, humorous anecdotes, and animal personification. Imagine a turtle changing her shell, a dragon living in a toaster, a fishy quartet, or a territorial squirrel. These are just a few of the animals that come to life and captivate the imaginations of those who spend time with the pages of this enchanting book.

A "raucous trip through the odd corners of our alphabet." ―The New York Times
 Let's get real―the English language is bizarre. A might be for apple, but it's also for aisle and aeons. Why does the word "gnat" start with a G but the word "knot" doesn't start with an N? It doesn't always make sense, but don't let these rule-breaking silent letters defeat you!
This whimsical, funky book from Raj Haldar (aka rapper Lushlife) turns the traditional idea of an alphabet book on its head, poking fun at the most mischievous words in the English language and demonstrating how to pronounce them. Fun and informative for word nerds of all ages!
