Tony Gwynn
Tony Gwynn spent his entire professional baseball career with the San Diego Padres. He stands second only to Ty Cobb in batting titles and consecutive .300-plus seasons. As a coach, he preached the Gwynn gospel to his players: do it right, do it with class, and respect others and the game. An extrovert with an unforgettable laugh and wry sense of humor, he was often the center of attention. Yet during off-seasons he retreated to Indianapolis to avoid the glare of publicity. He overcame disparities in his personality with an intense focus on preparation and commitment to professionalism, and frequently contributed to community projects. This first full-length biography traces the remarkable career of a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Deadly Trouble
After Clint Adams and Eclipse are injured in a fall, they are cared for by a lone Indian brave who promises to stay with the horse while Clint goes for help. Clint finds he has a deadly journey on foot ahead of him, to get help for the big Darley Arabian—and himself—or the horse may die. Although successful in getting treatment, Clint finds that during the time of their recovery they will become embroiled in the problems of a lady rancher whose property is in danger of being bought out from under her. Because he owes her, Clint takes it upon himself to make her deadly troubles his.

Hey Batter, Hey Batter
Young children, when growing up, often list a parent as their hero or role model. This can become complicated if the parent is enormously successful and the child, upon growing, up decides to enter the same profession of his parent. The shadow cast can be difficult to escape, and the parent must allow room for the child to grow and develop his own persona. In this story, the other parent must carefully balance the needs of the child and spouse.
Confessions of a Diplomatic Pouch Clerk
The author was in the U.S. Foreign Service from 1957 to 1969. This is a true story of his experiences while employed as a diplomatic pouch clerk in the American Consulate General in Sydney, Australia; and in the U.S. Embassies in Manila, Beirut and Tokyo. The story entails his fight with Neo-McCarthyites in the State Department; the effects in Beirut of the 1967 Six Day War; a nuptial quandary with a Japanese Qantas airline stewardess; and assorted golfing, drinking and sexual divertissments. It is punctuated with original insights and with the malaise and anger which has befallen the psyches of Americans of good will following the death of FDR and the assassinations of his potential successors.
