TO READ "PAINTING PICTURES"

Frank Appling, a New York boy from Bay Ridge, makes his way through the city, the neighborhood, the coastal water world he lives in, toward a life in art. From the day he drew the Verazzano Bridge rising from a coffer dam in the Hudson River in his composition book, that was it. He wanted to
draw and paint and make sculpture, to do arty things all the time.
It's a story of improvised perseverance -- how Frank moves through late 20th century life, toward the worlds of art; how his painting reflects his Place -- in the land and water, and history of his hometown, the mythical center of everything. How to keep doing it, to keep the love of it, of the doing of it, through all the stuff of life.

 (He'll sign your Kindle!)
Gus Byrd, Pulitzer Prize winning sportswriter ended up back in Columbus Ohio, where he began his illustrious newspaper life at the Dispatch writing about the Redbirds & the Buckeyes; fired from the Times in New York for Excessive Everything. He had covered the Brooklyn Dodgers all through their golden days until the move to Los Angeles in
1957. 

He won the Prize for GREEN GRASS, ROUND BALL, called, by fans and pundits alike, probably the best book about the heart of the Game. It is 1980. One hot summer night, Clarence Francis Byrd drops dead of a great big heart attack in the Immaculate Conception Homes in the middle of nowhere.
Nobody has been in any contact with him for years, until his son, Jack, a 40 year old semi-known writer gets the final phone call out of the blue from the night desk at UPI looking for a scoop. 
This is the story of his life, his end, his family, sister and brother, an old ballplayer, his long-ago wife & grown children, a grandson and four old hot-shot sportswriters who come together to send him off. It is a story filled with all the stuff of family, funerals, fear, fun, fights, laughing, some baseball stories, embalming, cremation, airplanes, rental cars, rented mourners, keening, and some Yeats toward the end.
