Cinci Freedom - A Cow’s Story is a children's book based on real life events that occurred in Cincinnati, Ohio in February of 2001. The author, Gary F. Franke, spent several days and nights in and around Mount Storm Park pursuing Cinci with SPCA Cincinnati Director Harold Dates, Specialist Todd Manser and professional cowboy, Dennis Dowers. Cinci made her escape from Ken Meyer Meats in Camp Washington over a six-foot- high fence. She evaded capture for 11 days, ultimately earning her a Key to the City. Cincinnati, the nation and various countries around the world followed Cinci’s extraordinary quest for freedom. Multiple media outlets covered the events. The book was written to raise and foster animal welfare awareness with children in the community at large and emphasize SPCA Cincinnati’s dedication to its mission. A percentage of the book’s proceeds are donated to SPCA Cincinnati.

LIFE BEGINS AND ENDS WITH GIRLFRIENDS, a nonfiction relationship book. The book, which is written in an engaging personal style, is a life-enhancing look at the nature and the changing face of friendship over the life cycle of contemporary girls and women. The authors share their memories of relationships with friends and family along with highlights from interviews with representative women and girls. While other books have analyzed women's friendships, none have examined the changing bond over a lifetime, using interview responses and references to the current cultural milieu. The authors were inspired to write the book by their personal and professional experiences and by their mutual friendship. Based upon their life experiences and considerable research, Van Ginkel and Newman concluded that girlfriendships are vitally important to women at all ages. This book brings their findings and insights to a general audience.

In Hail, Hail to U City High, author Alan Spector shares the journey of his class of early baby boomers from pre-high school days, through their high school experience in the early 60s, over intervening decades, to their lives today in their early 60s. Alan then dares to look into their collective future. Alan feels fortunate to be a member of the University City High School Class of 1964. In the early 60s, U City was a benchmark of academics, athletics, arts, and activities. Their high school experience, as it should, provided students with a solid foundation for their futures. However, when classmates left U City for those futures, they could have never predicted how they would still be close four-plus decades later. Alan is among the hundreds of classmates who are connected electronically, attend reunions, plan and enjoy mini-reunions all over the country, go on class cruises, provide support to classmates in need, and feel as though they have a second extended family. Alan s story runs throughout the book as does those of other classmates. He follows the paths of their individual life histories, the collective class history, and human history; all inextricably intertwined. Since graduating in 1964, classmates have been separated by time, geography, and their individual life stories yet, a large percentage remain remarkably close. There is much to be learned from their journey. Just as Alan s first book, Baseball: Never Too Old to Play The Game, used baseball to explore life lessons learned from the game, so does Hail, Hail to U City High use the journey of Alan s University City High School Class of 1964 to explore life lessons learned. His classmates, baby boomers from all high schools, and both older and younger readers will be able to relate Alan s story to their own. Hail Hail to U City High, therefore, is a book for anyone who feels an attachment to his or her high school class, regardless of the graduation year and home town. As Judy Van Ginkel, PhD, author of Life Begins and Ends with Girlfriends, says, Al s storytelling drew me in and made me feel part of his class and their close relationships. Everyone reading Hail, Hail to U City High will be able to relate their own friendships to those of Al s classmates.

"Strike Three! My Years in the Pen" is a delayed celebration of the top strikeout staffs in the history of the American League. Strike Three! shifts attention from the effects of PEDS on hitting and HR records to their effect on pitching records, such as those of the the Cleveland Indians of 1964-68. The 1964 Indians was the first staff to strike out (SO) 1100 AL batters in a season, and they would lead the league with over 1100 SO for a record-setting 5 years, not since duplicated. They were the first to SO 7.0 batters / 9 innings. They would set a single-season record with 1189 SO in 1967, a record that would stand for 30 years, broken only in the steroid era. Of 7 AL staffs that averaged 7 SO / 9 innings for 5 consecutive years, only they led the rest of the AL by more than 1 SO / 9 innings. They would be the only staff since WW II to lead the NL in SO 5 consecutive years. All the records were remarkably accomplished while pitching in Cleveland Municipal Stadium, which had the greatest foul area of any BLB stadium. Bill James noted the '64 staff would be the top "future wins" staff in AL history, with Tommy John, Luis Tiant, Sam McDowell, and Sonny Siebert themselves combining for over 700 future wins. Strike Three! is also a story of the bullpen, and bullpen catchers, as the job has evolved from 1946 to 2010. Finally, it is a story of the teen-age, bullpen-catcher-author who caught the record-setting staff from 1964-66, and his Years in the 'Pen.
