The Call
Young baseball players dream of one thing: to get the call up to the Majors. When, as a fan, five year old Hunter Austin experiences his first professional baseball game, he proclaims to the folks in the bleachers that, one day, he’ll get The Call, play baseball on TV and have his face on baseball cards. While the laughter of the crowd doesn’t faze him, it’s hard to keep his faith when he hears his father say, “You’re too small, too weak, and not good enough.” The Call explores the challenges of an overlooked and unappreciated second son as he keeps working toward his goal despite ongoing adversity, criticism and rejection. With the faith and support of a loving woman, Hunter finds the determination to practice with purpose and play with passion—and keep the dreams of his youth alive. This emotionally poignant novel illustrates what one can achieve when they live a purpose driven life. The Call is an imaginative coming-of-age story that shares the field with historical figures from the game of baseball. It is a mixture of imagination and fact through the use of historical fiction which transports readers to another time and place, either real or imagined.

Dancing the Deep Hum, One Woman's Ideas about How to Live in a Dancing, Singing Universe
In Dancing the Deep Hum, Connie Pwll examines the sometimes delightful and sometimes painful lessons she has learned in her sixty-five years of life, and humbly presents some ideas about how to live life joyfully.
