We spend a lot of time on this board talking about our sons; I hope it's OK if I blow my own horn for a post. My book, "Keeping Score" is about one divorced mom's first summer with her 9-year-old son playing travel ball. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream at the umpire. Here's the link; I hope you check it out!  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6GHQYM

Though some may be skeptical that you're self-promoting on this site, as it happens I'm at a small town hotel post-baseball-tournament this evening with a kindle and nothing to read.  The 16YO son isn't super chatty, so I was happy to see your post, and really happy it's at Amazon for only $3.99.  So, you just sold your first one here, and thank you for your love of the game.  Happy to support creative efforts from fellow baseball parents...

I'm not skeptical.

LHPMom2012 joined five years ago.  I don't think it was to promote a book she hadn't written yet.  That puts her in a different category than the folks who join and immediately start plugging goods and services.

I consider this notice to be more of an update on her baseball journey than an unauthorized ad. 

Best wishes,

Thanks, all! I was hoping I wasn't breaking the rules by posting about it. I didn't even mention that if you read the book, your son will automatically gain 5 mph on his fastball and 10 mph in bat speed! I just don't know of any other forums that reach so many baseball parents, and I think fellow baseball parents would be more interested in the book than everyday readers of "women's fiction." Although I may try to reach both markets with my next book, "50 Shades of Blue," about the oversexed umpire.

 

 

I can't wait to buy your book on my Kindle, it will be the perfect beach read for a quick day trip to Rhode Island this week     

 

This is also good timing, since we just dropped off my college freshman "for real" and our youth/HS  BBall days have ended.

 

 

Can I pre-order 50 Shades?  lol

 

Congrats LHP mom!

 

Josh, I'll pre-order yours too!

 

Thanks so much, everyone. If you have a sec, would you mind going to Amazon and leaving me a review? Apparently if you get a certain number of good reviews, Amazon will start promoting your book. I don't know what that magic number is, and other than posting here, I haven't done any real promoting. I've been leaving that up to my mom. Apparently your kid is never too old to brag about. ;-)

Just wanted to let everyone know if you didn't get around to reading my book but you really wanted to, only you spend all your time in the car driving your son to baseball games and practice and only listen to audio books now...  

 

KEEPING SCORE is now an audio book! And there's nothing your son can't hear, so you can listen to it with him in the car! And Amazon gave me about 10 codes to get the book free so you don't even have to pay for it ... just send me a private message and I'll send you the instructions.

 

I hope everyone's having a wonderful baseball season!

LOL, that describes me exactly!  I got it on Audio and LOVED it!!!!  Thanks for writing about the crazy world of Travel Ball....my own mother thinks I am in a cult when I describe my son's schedule, nice to know the "cult" is nationwide and in book form!
