Every once in a while an incredibly talented athlete comes on the scene— in baseball that athlete would be able to run fast, throw hard, hit the ball a mile, etc. Books and movies are produced to tell the hero’s story. But what about the rest of us, the vast majority of us, who are less than talented, uncoordinated, near-sighted? Do we get a hero we can relate to?

The Unnatural tells the story of Hickey Plastow, who has absolutely no talent, but is determined to have a career playing professional baseball. Set against the backdrop of World War II, with little but an iron-willed desire to succeed, some luck, and a coach and family who believe in him, Hickey not only makes the grade, but performs beyond anyone's dreams, except his own....

This book is dedicated to every kid who's been told “you're not good enough.”

About the Author

Dave Phillips was born and raised in Doylestown, Pennsylvania in the post-war “Baby Boomer” generation. Faced with the almost certain possibility of being drafted after his college days at Villanova, he joined the US Navy as an ensign in 1974. Six years active duty, eighteen more in the reserves, he retired with the rank of Captain. As a civilian, Dave worked in manufacturing, software industry, and insurance. 

He turned his lifelong woodworking hobby into a custom cabinet business. Dave had been flunked on a writing assignment by a high school teacher who claimed his work was “too good” for a high school student—he must have cheated. He hadn't, but that bad experience led to a long-standing goal that “someday” he would see if he could really succeed as a writer. Dave is happily married, living in South Florida, and father of four terrific adult children. He's an avid golfer, woodworker and fisherman. Aside from writing and golf, Dave is active in his church and community association.

To Yeti or not to Yeti
Set name: Yeti, Set name: Yeti
I’m honestly baffled. My dog Simba — a boxer, black lab, pittie mix with plenty of energy but not exactly a super‑chewer — received this Yeti doll on February 15th. Within days, he had chewed the hand clean off and yanked the rope straight out of the doll’s body. I expected at least a little durability, but this thing didn’t stand a chance. I’m still staring at the shredded remains wondering how it fell apart that fast. Definitely not what I thought I was buying.
