UNMASKED: THE HONORABLE AND DISHONORABLE TRUTHS OF A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL UMPIRE

About UNMASKED: THE HONORABLE AND DISHONORABLE TRUTHS OF A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL UMPIRE

FINALLY, A BOOK THAT UNMASKS THE “BLUE BROTHERHOOD”
Whenever somebody learns that Zach Rebackoff (The Flying Birdman) was a professional baseball umpire, their reaction is a bare-all-teeth smile and a most frequently asked double-barreled question: “Really? Did you ever throw anyone out?” Ha! Ask the players and managers? UNMASKED-The Honorable and Dishonorable Truths of a Professional Baseball Umpire will undoubtedly convey that they know he did!

Bronx-born into an emigre Russian Jewish family in April 1951, Zach would be first a baseball Maverick and then a Pirate. For example, there was the evening in the Dominican Republic when he called a forfeit against the home team, putting himself under the siege of 18,000 garbage-hurling fanáticos. Or the day in 1980 when future HOF’er Wade Boggs hung blame on him for losing the league batting title—by one percentage point.

UNMASKED, Rebackoff’s in-depth memoir, is for baseball enthusiasts and their insatiable desire to understand our national pastime’s enforcement squads; the highs, the lows, the trials and tribulations, politics, backstabbing, and most especially, what goes on inside those quirky minds behind the mask, in particular, Zach’s mask; the one he wore on the field, and the one he wore, and still wears, off the field. In Zach’s opinion, many baseball fans visualize what it’s like being a professional umpire, embedded in the game’s speed, living up to the challenge, in real-time, with all of its attendant notoriety and cheers. They suspect umpiring is challenging, but they don’t surely know.

In a myriad of voices, Zach captures baseball’s culture from, shall we dare say, a sagacious angle. Truly knowing umpires (those you know by name) is to know there are MLB umpires that have purposely unleashed indefensible acts of defamation, betrayal, and deceit—Zach’s memoir tells you the who, what, and where. Baseball umpires, by the way, are a trendy subject. With the implementation of instant replay and ultra-slow-mo, the TV’s cameras dissect each revolution of every pitch, and numerous blogs focus solely on umpires’ statistics, ejections, tendencies, quotes, habits—the public’s peeking into one of the most intricate jobs on the planet have never been greater!

Besides being a professional baseball umpire, Zach tripped, tap-danced, bull-rode, and sailed his way through a career that has encompassed published authorship (TOUGH CALLS C. Avon Books), TV talk show hosting, newspaper and magazine journalistic endeavors, and entrepreneurship. But, unfortunately, he never did love the “brotherhood.” Still, Zach eventually found himself surrounded by, and usually in an animated debate with baseball legends such as Don Mattingly, Cal Ripken, Wade Boggs, Mark “The Bird” Fidrych, Ron Darling, Felipe Alou, Tony Peña, Mookie Wilson… and so on. For those who accepted the Maverick, he offers praise. For those who attempted to sabotage his career, Zach’s words come down with the weight of a sledgehammer. What autobiography would be worth reading without thrashing those who deserve it?

Click “BUY NOW.” It’s your first call to a very rare take on one’s life in professional baseball.

Murder in the Atchafalaya by Jim Riley

Murder in the Atchafalaya by Jim Riley

Murder in the Atchafalaya
by Jim Riley

book review by Joe Kilgore

“Trixie’s unblinking gaze fixed onto whatever follows death as her last breath left her body.”
A lot of things can kill you in the Louisiana swamps, not the least of which are water moccasins, alligators, and maybe even something unworldly called a Rougarou. But as the body count rises in this jambalaya mystery, it becomes apparent that the increasing death toll is mostly due to some very bad villains and some very tough law enforcers.

Kristi is a young college graduate from West Texas recently hired and trained by the Treasury Department. While on the hunt for two of her colleagues, she manages to get herself assaulted and lost in the Atchafalaya Basin. Hawk is an ex-military combat vet now working for the United States Ranger Services. He’s asked by his old friend, the Parish Sheriff, to try to find Kristi. What he finds is not only the woman he’s looking for but also a hell of a lot of trouble. Together, Hawke and Kristi wind up in the middle of ruffians, counterfeiters, financial scalawags, and murderers. As they try to figure out what’s happening and why, while continually staying one step ahead of assassins, they begin to form a bond of respect, friendship, and perhaps even more.

Author Riley does a first-rate job of steeping the reader in the milieu of South Louisiana and Cajun mores. From murders at mudbug fests to menacing mosquito swarms to monumentally malevolent snake pits, he puts the heat and humidly on every page. He’s also adept at weaving a spider-webbed plot that is both intricate and credible. There’s action, suspense, humor, and even a dash of romance in this gumbo of a novel that promises to start a series of adventures for Kristi and Hawke.

Relatively Strange: A Roller-Coaster Of A Psi-Fi Thriller (Strange Series Book 1) by Marilyn Messik

“He and I could kill each other. Right there, right then without moving a muscle. I knew that. Did he?”

It’s tricky to know what’s normal if you’re not, but Stella’s upbringing is average enough, and her protective if paranoid family work on the principle that the less said about what she is, the very much safer she’ll be. Life not surprisingly has its ups, downs and disasters, but only when she’s face to face with the stark reality of medical experimentation and its horrifying consequences, does she realise just how certain she is of one thing. All this hero stuff just isn’t her. No, normal or as near as damn it is what she wants, and if that means smothering her instincts, keeping both feet firmly on the ground and all her abilities under wraps, then it’s a price worth paying.

Isn’t it a fact though, just when you think you’ve got yourself on track, events can derail you?

Five Moons: Resurrection by Bill Parker

Five Moons: Resurrection by Bill Parker

I am he who stands at the center of Five Moons’ shadows. Clay of Earth, they did come in peace… or so they said. In peace, indeed, they came, but evil trailed behind them like a foul stench. It overcame their good intentions. It left the blood of four innocents on my hands. Clay of Earth, know this to the very core of you: yours were the people cast into the outer darkness because of the evil in their hearts
“So it was that evil men had wrecked the starship Tesseract, built with Anoza technology, and killed its crew. To hide the evil that was done, they flew an unmarked ship into space docks intending to scrap it out.
By the end of the Corporate War, Dallas Blake had lost everything: his wife, his daughter, his whole family. He was a man in need of far more than just a new beginning. What Dallas needed was a resurrection. Dallas went to the Union Fleet space docks to buy a war surplus scout-class ship. Instead, he unknowingly buys the Tesseract. It does not take Dallas long to discover that its crew of artificials seems way more human than they should be and every bit as much in need of a resurrection as Dallas.
Dallas Blake is outworlder to the nines and ready for whatever life throws at him, except maybe for Mariah. Despite the fact that she is extremely smart and multi-talented, she can drive a sane man crazy and frequently does. And, oh, by the way, did I mention that Mariah is techno? Mariah is but one of the mysteries of the ship once called Tesseract, now named the Five Moons.
No one was cutting Dallas any breaks. The ship’s alien technology and artificial life forms are the mysteries that he must solve as the action-packed rescue of Emma from more than just the mercenaries that kidnapped her leads Dallas and the crew of the Five Moons into danger.
At this point, however, I must warn you – Five Moons: Resurrection is not your father’s science fiction. It is funny. It is a love story. It is a mystery. It is science fiction with the full flavor and robust action of a guns blazing Western. So, put on your recon armor, grab your pulse-rifle, and get ready for full contact, take no prisoners sci-fi that does not quit on your mind to the very last word.

About Black And White Are More Than Colors In A Crayon Box

Even though Brandon does not approve of his father’s racist ways, he lets it influence his decision to suppress his attraction to an employee he just hired, a young African American woman named Delvina Jones. Another obstacle that prevents Brandon from giving in to his attraction to Delvina is an incident that took place in his childhood that has tainted his romantic relationships with women.Delvina Jones has her own issues, which initially causes her to deny her attraction to Brandon George. While growing up, Delvina’s straight-talking, church-going mother taught her that white men only wanted one thing from a black woman, and that didn’t include love or marriage.

Although Delvina still cares for Matt, she is getting tired of their non-committal relationship. After Delvina starts working for Brandon George, she finds herself increasingly attracted to him.
