Fill the slow time with a little reading

Yahoo Sports

The NFL never sleeps. Sometimes, it takes a little nap. On a weekend when not a lot will be happening, it's the perfect time to get lost in a good book.

Whether any of the books I've written are any good isn't my call. Reasonable minds will, and do, differ. But there's a decent chance that, if you regularly consume the stuff I post here on a daily basis, you'll like something that takes a little longer to read.

And the price is right. At a time when everything is getting more and more expensive, I've held the line on all ebooks at 99 cents. For the cost of that $9 cup of coffee , you could buy all four of them and have $5 left over for a normal coffee and maybe a cookie or two.

The latest, Big Shield , looks at the way legalized gambling can lead to major problems for a fictional (wink) pro football league. The Father of Mine series ( Father of Mine , Son of Mine ) tell a small-town mob tale, inspired by the actual crew that ran the town where I grew up. And if you'd like to rediscover the Christmas spirit a few months later (or if you like a different kind of ghost story), there's On Our Way Home .

More are coming. There's a third Father of Mine book in the hopper. And five or six others (I've lost track) that'll be available at some point, hopefully while I'm still on the right side of the terra firma.
