Major Site Update!

Hello all it’s author Christopher R. Ford here and I just wanted to update the blog to say that I updated the entire site! It’s been a while but everything’s a go! I will certainly be blogging more here and updating everyone on how the books are doing and what’s next for the third book! Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this book writing journey it is all greatly appreciated!

I started out as a person who just loved writing and wanted to create a book that portrayed positive images of black children and most importantly black father/son relationships. That is something near and dear to my heart and completing and publishing the two books so far has been one of the biggest accomplishments of my life.

Again, thank you for the support and we’ll talk again soon!

What’s Playin’ Catch With Dad About?

Hi I’m Ronnie Williams superstar pitcher…ok I’m not a superstar but I am a pitcher and the star of this book. I love baseball, I love pitching, and I love playin’ catch with my dad. And this is a story about me, my dad, my mom and my annoying little brother moving to Texas. I have to start all over making new friends and a new baseball team. The new friends part is easy when I meet Billie and Adrian who just so happen to be the best two players on the team I’m trying out for.

I go through some ups and downs like making the team, dealing with a demanding coach and a bully, and winning and losing. But through it all my dad is there to give me advice while we play catch in the backyard.

And then out of nowhere I get the biggest opportunity of my life. Can I overcome my nerves and remember the lessons from my dad and show everyone what I’ve really got? Gotta read the book to find out!
