I thought I'd give you an update on my book, "Contract Year: a baseball novel" which is doing very well. Signed copies are available at www.contractyearnovel.com, as well as ebook version for both Kindle and iPad.

Check it out! Bee Hylinski

Interesting Book

I like baseball stories. This was an interesting look at a pitcher dealing with free agency among other problems in his life. The way he grew up over the year was well written.
