Baseball is life, the rest is just details. Everyone who's played the game has heard those words a time or two. But Hancock has heard them his entire life from his parents. His family has lived and breathed baseball even before he started little league. Hancock "Parts" Peters has a name that inspires grins across many faces, but the moment those faces get their first look at him, those grins slide away. Hancock is gruff, filterless, and doesn't give a crap who he offends. He is the only man in baseball who doesn't care if he gets an endorsement or not. He's there to play the game. He's there to win. He's there because baseball is his life. People think he's a jerk. And maybe he is. But if that's how he has to come off to get people to leave him the hell alone so he can play in peace, so be it. The less people he has to worry about offending, the better. *** Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back. Sway Coffman didn't mean to rock the boat. She was just there to do her job. Sure, she was a woman in a man's world. Yes, she beat out several of those men to get the job as head athletic trainer for the professional baseball team, The Texas Lumberjacks. And yeah, she now got hate mail from those men. But she's good at her job, and she earned the position. What she is not good at, however, is talking to men. Men seem to see her curvy hips, large breasts and thick thighs and automatically think she is incompetent. Because surely a fat girl couldn't get the job treating some of the most fit and athletic men in the world, right? Wrong. This fat girl got the job, and she is proud of it. What else did she get? The attention of the sexiest bearded man she'd ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on. It was enough to bring to her down to her knees...in front of that man, the hot and grumpy baseball player, Hancock Peters.

#BFCr3 check in since I had eye surgery earlier in the week I only worked out 2 days (last Sunday and today) but I read a total of 7 books this week bringing my overall total to 22/30. Went to a baseball game tonight. We have the cubs farm team here and one of our pharmacists arranged an outing for us. Cubs lost btw, but the people watching was spectacular and a good time was had by all. 😁 plus there were fireworks! @wanderinglynn

julesG 👏👏👏👏 Glad you're surgery went well. 5y
CocoReads Now to get the other eye scheduled so that they‘re working together. 😬 5y

Reecaspieces Baseball butts are the best! 5y
britt_brooke Looks fun!! Glad you‘re recovering well! 5y
CocoReads @Reecaspieces that‘s the main reason I went. And also to keep my sister company. She knows even less about sports ball than me. 🤣🤣🤣 5y
Reecaspieces @CocoReads great minds think alike! 😂😂 5y
wanderinglynn I‘m going to delete that “only” and rewrite your sentence to: “ I had eye surgery AND worked out 2 times!” Don‘t diminish your accomplishments especially considering you had surgery! 🙌🏻 5y
CocoReads @wanderinglynn you‘re so right. The “only” is so ingrained and even during yesterday‘s sweat sesh the girls we all “don‘t over do, listen to your body” and that was so great to have that encouragement as well. 5y

The title amused me. Book 1 in the There‘s No Crying In Baseball Series. I was initially hesitant because other than the Cubs, I don‘t really care that much about baseball but the love story between Hancock and Sway turned out to be surprisingly sweet. Old friends from other books had cameos and I‘m ready for new characters to get their stories. It seemed a good set up for other members of the team as well as Hancock‘s brother to get their own.

The title amuses me, the storyline is not bad, not too dramatic which is kind of what I need right now. Also, some mornings just call for chocolate pop tarts and Diet Pepsi. Or as I liked to call it in school: The Breakfast of champions

Bklover Sounds perfect! 7y
CocoReads As a diabetic I try not to indulge too often and if my numbers had been off this morning o would have done something else but this was immensely satisfying 7y

Today's #AuthorLingo101:

NaNoWriMo or NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth: Every November, more than 300K authors bleed 50K words, some through their eyeballs, others through their fingertips. It's a bloodbath.

Pitch Party: A newish way to get an agent to look at an unpublished author's manuscript is through participation in Twitter pitch parties. Sell your book in 140 (now 280) characters on the party hashtag, and agents may invite you to query them.

RainyDayReading NanoWrimo is indeed a bloodbath but it‘s a fun bloodbath 😁 7y
JazzFeathers @RainyDayReading l totally agree. Did it for 11 years and l don't plan to stop. I also tried the Twitter pitch parties. Had some requedts, but honestly l'm not to keen on this form of submition. 7y
RaimeyGallant @RainyDayReading Yes, it definitely is. :) 7y
