My new novel is available for pre-order!

I’m really pleased this morning to announce that my new novel, The Prospect, is available for pre-order on Amazon. Believe it or not, this title will set you back a mere 99 cents!

I’m starting out cheap because I hope to snag an EReader News Today promo for launch week, which will be the first week of May. Regular price, after the deal, will be $4.99.

This one’s a book about baseball—and life—but it has a twist that I think will appeal to a wide audience:

What if a woman got a chance to play Major League Baseball?

Here’s the jacket copy:

When seasoned baseball scout, Bud Esterhaus, recruits phenom pitcher, Joe Carpenter, for the El Centro Sand Cats, he thinks he might be able to wind down his career with a patina of quality. But as Joe climbs through the minor league ranks and attracts the attention of the L.A. Dodgers, Bud is stunned to discover that the budding star is actually a girl—a she-nom—and the whole plan will come crashing down if he can’t cook up a way to keep her identity hidden from the testosterone-steeped world of professional baseball. Joe Carpenter is really Jo Carpenter, and Bud thinks she’s good enough to be the first woman to make The Show.

In The Prospect, Kevin Brennan (author of Parts Unknown—William Morrow/HarperCollins) shows us one way—with a little Shakespearean gender bending—a woman could find herself playing in Major League Baseball. The Natural meets Bull Durham meets A League of Their Own in this warm girl-powered story.

Hey, it’s a feelgood baseball novel. Coming along at a time when baseball needs all the help it can get. And we all need more feelgood right about now too.

Pre-order today and receive your Kindle book automatically on May 1.
