Book Description
Larry’s parents had never seen him so preoccupied and possessed. For hours each day, he’d play basketball—and after he finished playing, he’d spend hours reading various basketball books. Posters of players were plastered all over his room. “We need to get some handle on this,” his mother told her husband, Dave. While he wasn’t as concerned, he agreed he would talk to the school psychologist. That meeting, however, did not resolve much, and Dave was left wondering if maybe he was the one with a problem. He had never gotten passionately involved in sports. Maybe he was just envious of his son? Maybe he had been too passive as a child and should have had stronger interests? He remembered that he was on the debating team, but never possessed the drive to win over the other team. Okay, he thought to himself, you’d better tolerate your son’s intensity and be patient and see where it leads. A Hoop Fable reveals how basketball provided Larry with a passion for life and gave him a foundation to move toward a successful career—and the lessons the game provided his family along the way.

Book Description
This is the author's third book, the first being a memoir of sorts and the second was in the genre of erotic fiction. It is a collection of thirteen short stories, all based on or inspired by the fables of Aesop. Although it would be impossible to either add to or detract from Aesop's, the fables were starting points for stories mostly based in the mythical town of Rustbelt City. Apparently, as much wisdom is required for life in the American Midwest as in ancient Greece. And, just as in our own lives, there is a moral hidden somewhere in each of the stories. Unlike in the compilers of Aesop's stories where the morals are handily given to us, we'll have to ferret out the meaning for ourselves. Instead of anthills and agoras, the scenes shift from pagan Greece to pool halls and Fitzpatrick's tavern. Not so cleverly disguised are locales once dear to my heart in a grimy, industrial city that now exists only in my imagination.
