Bits and pieces, Dec. 13

Looking over recent overlooked items…

bbiconThe Voice of Russia (!) posted this interview with Craig R. Wright on his new book, Pages from Baseball’s Past. Because Russia invented baseball, don’t you know.

bbiconMaya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, author of A Princess of Passyunk, “a novel of magical realism (published by Book View Cafe) which combines baseball magic and old-world magic with a hoary Slavic fairy tale,” contributed this piece on Shoeless Joe to the Book View Cafe blog.

bbiconThis item about The Wish appears on Digital Journal. The novel, by Larry W. Lawson, “follows a family of three brothers who share a love of baseball and an old man seeking a second chance at redemption. With a little bit of magic, the brothers and the old man receive a new outlook on life and are inspired to do their personal best whether they win or lose.” I wonder in what sense do they mean the word “Journal,” because posting what basically amounts to a press release does not qualify as journalism, to my mind.

bbiconThe Belleville News-Democrat (Ill.) ran this profile of local author Art Voellinger, who recently published Double Play, his second baseball novel.
