One of Sports Illustrated?s top 100 sports books of all-time The 1908 National League pennant race was without question the most exciting and dramatic battle of all time. Three teams, the Giants, the Cubs, and the Pirates, battled from start to finish, concluding the season with just one game separating them in the standings. The story of this race is like a Hall of Fame sprung to life, including John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance, Mordecai ?Three Finger? Brown, and Honus Wagner. Yet the one name that truly stands out belongs to a young Giant rookie, Fred Merkle. His base-running blunder in a key game between the Giants and the Cubs cost the New Yorkers the pennant through an entirely unforeseeable set of circumstances that set off a near-riot in New York. More than mere history, The Unforgettable Season uses a judicious selection of newspaper stories to recreate the unforgettable season through the eyes and florid language of sportswriters of the day. With no film, TV, or radio accounts of the game to cloud readers' minds with facts, the newspaper writers had free reign to invent and embellish the larger-than-life figures and events of 1908. It is their efforts that make this book often unintentionally hilarious and unforgettable.

At the start of the 1941 baseball season, neither Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees nor Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox were beloved by baseball fans. But that all changed when Joe started a 56-game hitting streak and Ted's batting average rose to over .400. Despite numerous challenges along the way-Joe had his bat stolen by an overeager fan and Ted's batting average dipped to .3995 on the last day of the season-the records set by "Joltin' Joe" and "The Splendid Splinter" have yet to be broken. New York Times bestselling author of the Sluggers series (with Loren Long), Phil Bildner has written an accessible tribute to two of baseball's greatest heroes. Packed with fun facts and statistics for eager fans to pore over, this book is sure to be a home run!

Finalist Independent Author Network Book Award Would you forsake your mother to save the woman you loved? Season Scrimshaw isn't selling the land her parents left her when they died, not even to the gorgeous Rann Brogan who saved her life in the forest. Especially not after she finds out he was in the woods surveying her property. Rann's mother, Charlotte, owns a large land development company. She wants Season’s property to put up a strip of luxurious, lakefront condos and Charlotte always gets what she wants. She sends Rann on a mission to seal the deal. To say Rann and his mother have had a normal mother/son relationship would be a stretch…a big stretch, but he’s always done her bidding. This time it’s different. Rann hasn’t been able to get the beautiful Season out of his mind. While on his mission to secure the property, he realizes how much Season loves the land, and…he realizes somewhere along the line, Season has stolen his heart. He discovers his mother will go to any length to get what she wants…including murder. Lives spiral out of control, secrets and lies take center stage. Rann is forced to choose between his mother and the woman he loves. And he’s forced to become as dangerous and as lethal as Charlotte. Love a lot of thriller with your romance? Love a lot romance with your thriller? How about suspense, betrayal and murder? If so, then Season, Unforgettable is the book for you. *A stand-alone Contemporary Romantic Suspense What Reviewers Are Saying "WOW! Diablo has a great new hit here! You will enjoy this from beginning to end. This is my honest opinion: I loved this story and would have loved for it to just kept going. I'm sure that everyone has read a book that they could have enjoyed it no matter how long it was. This is one of those books." Kayla Sue, Amazon, 5 stars, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Keta Diablo has timed each piece of her romantic puzzle to perfection. As they begin to fall into place, I found myself lost in the entanglements of two worlds colliding, while being warped by evil. Hang on tight; this ride is full of twists, turns and the power of this author's imagination. I can definitely say, I never thought this tale would unfold the way it did, no cookie cutter writing from this author!" Tome Tender, 5 Stars, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "When disaster strikes, it hits hard and no character sees it coming. The antagonist in the story, sadly for the main characters, is as smart as they are bad, so the plan nearly succeeds far too well. I liked the story very much, enjoyed the ending, and I hope the author does another story in this world with the Matt and Bernadette's story." The Leisure Zone, 4.5 Stars, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I thought it was going to be a normal chase through fall in love, fight with mom, kind of story, but I was pleasantly surprised when the story changed. Loved the twist as it was quite dark, and unexpected, but worked beautifully for the story. Don't want to give away too much for those of you yet to read the book. I enjoyed it." Cashmere, 5 Stars, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
