Jesse Ventura to accidentally creating a national ruckus involving Jesse Jackson to watching the family dog do her final act of defiance on a despised neighbor's lawn, award-winning freelance writer, author and syndicated columnist John Nemo explores the lighter side of life with a mix of color, candor and comedy that has earned him numerous writing awards, including the national Fantasy Sports Writers' Association title of "Most Humorous" columnist of 2005. Nemo, who previously worked as a reporter at the Arizona Republic and for the Associated Press, now writes for publications including NBA Inside Stuff, MLB.com and dozens of other magazines, newspapers and web sites around the country.

Seventeen-year-old Sal Polongetti's curiosity about a dark family secret propels him back in time to the Roaring Twenties in gangster-friendly St. Paul, Minnesota. When Sal discovers that his beloved, 89-year-old Pappy has an 87-year-old brother living out West whom he hasn't spoken to for more than 70 years, the teenager's burning desire to find out who – or what – came between them serves as the catalyst to finding a way back to 1926, when Pappy and his brother were teenagers. Sal discovers a Minnesota town that has cut a deal with the devil, letting gangsters like John Dillinger live within its city limits so long as they “do their business” elsewhere. While searching for the secret that will fracture future generations of the Polongetti family forever, Sal finds himself falling in love with young Rita Collins, further complicating a journey growing more dangerous by the moment.

Readers compare it to: Caleb Carr and television series like Quantum Leap and Dr. Who.

A story of fathers, sons and baseball, along with the eternal choice each man must one day face ... The crowd of 45,000 rises as one, chanting his name. Veteran pitcher Cody King takes the mound for Game Seven of the World Series, unaware these nine innings will mark the end of his troubled existence. With each pressure-packed pitch, King confronts a past – from being abandoned by his teenage mother to keeping his wife’s love from fading away – filled with tragedy and talent. And before he flings his final fastball into the cool autumn air, King, a fatherless son who grew up to become one of the game's greatest pitchers, will have to face the one true father he's never known.
