A New Novel about Phenomenal Athlete Released
November 30, 2011 By
Farmingville, N.Y. (PRWEB) November 29, 2011
“Sports is like war without the killing,” according to media mogul and philanthropist Ted Turner. Praise and even outright worship of successful professional athletes, on the other hand, often exceeds our reverence for actual war heroes. If being exceedingly good at one sport makes a man a star, what if he is exceedingly good at three? Avid sports enthusiast and published author Louis Saulino has created an engaging first novel, Athlete For Hire, set in the backdrop of the professional sports industry.
“As an armchair quarter back, I envisioned a scenario where a professional sports team owner of three franchises (baseball, football, basketball) could ponder hiring an all-around athlete,” Saulino explained. “This fictional owner, Scott Thomas, meets with his general managers to discuss a highly acclaimed college athlete featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. His proficiency is in the three sports intrigues Thomas who becomes disgruntled when all three of his general managers want the athlete for their respective sport. Thomas exclaims, ‘Why can’t we draft this kid for all three of my teams?’ Having time on my hands in the evening with my sons gone gave me the opportunity to try out a ‘what if’ scenario. It was a blast and I hope readers enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.”

team’s public relations and charitable efforts for 37 years, reflects on
those halcyon days in his new book, Notes From the WACKO! File. Ambrose may

collected in the WACKO! File offer an amusing, insider’s perspective of one
of the NBA’s most respected franchises. To celebrate the publication’s
release, Ambrose will hold a book signing at Majerle’s (2 N. Second St.

“I knew that I held onto these stories in my ‘WACKO! File’ all
these years for a reason,” Ambrose exclaimed. “I just didn’t realize how
many stories I had. WACKO! File ends with the Suns last game at the old
Coliseum. those were some great years in Suns’ history and I’m already
working on a sequel. I’m really looking forward to sharing the memories
with Suns fans at Majerle’s.”

INTERNATIONAL TOURING EXHIBIT, FLYING OVER TIME: THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS, PREMIERES AT ASU WEST OCTOBER 21ST & 22ND
October 6, 2011 By
PHOENIX – Imagine it’s 1927, the “roaring 20′s”, and you’re a young engineer
working in San Diego. A pilot about your age comes to you and asks if you
can design an airplane which can cross the Atlantic. And, oh, by the way,
you will have 60 days to complete the plane. What would be your reaction?
Donald A. Hall was the engineer and Charles A. Lindbergh, the pilot. And
the rest, as they say, is history. Nova Hall, Donald Hall’s grandson, is
the curator of FLYING OVER TIME: THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS EXHIBIT, an
interactive, multi-disciplinary art/history exhibit scheduled for a two-day
showing at ASU’s West campus, October 21-22, in the La Sala ballroom in the
University Center Building, (4701 W. Thunderbird, Phoenix). For additional
exhibition information, please contact Tiffany Kell at 602.316.9075 or
tiffany.kell@asu.edu
http://www.spiritandcreator.com http://www.spiritandcreator.com. For
additional media information, please contact, Carole V. Bartholomeaux,
602.404.8018 or bprworks@cox.net.
“Flying Over Time,” according to Nova Hall, “is like nothing one has ever
seen; it is part museum exhibition, performance space, corporate events
venue and educational workshop.”
Hall says the exhibit is designed to teach art, history and sciences through
the inspirational story of the Spirit of St. Louis, which made the
first-ever non-stop flight from New York to Paris and earned Lindbergh the
Orteig Prize, a $25,000 award offered by New York hotelier Raymond Orteig to
the first allied aviators to make such a trans-Atlantic crossing.
The exhibit is made possible through the generous support of ASU West, the
New College Division of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Sciences as a primary
example of the university’s commitment to creativity, entrepreneurship and
enhanced connections to the community. In addition, the Charles A. and Ann
Morrow Lindbergh Foundation have made a generous endorsement of the 501c3
project.
“The previous show was successful because of the art and how I blended
history, photographs and actual 1927 newspapers into my painting,” said
Hall, who earned his B.A. in integrative studies from ASU’s New College of
Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences http://newcollege.asu.edu/ in 2010.
“In contrast, this show is expanded and displays much more of the content
that exists, which is the inspiration for the art and the show and the
performance.”
The October exhibit will mark the liftoff of what Hall hopes will be an
international travelling exhibition. As ground breaking and
interdisciplinary as the planned exhibit is, the story of the younger Hall’s
introduction to the aeronautical engineering genius of his grandfather is
equally fascinating. That the first Trans-Atlantic flight was made in an
airplane that was designed and built in just 60 days is amazing even today.
“It was in 1999 and we were living in Sedona,” said Hall, who also published
“Spirit and Creator: The Mysterious Man Behind Lindbergh’s Flight to Paris”
in 2002 as a testament to the senior Hall’s accomplishment. “We were moving
and I was in the garage going through boxes, making decisions on what to
keep, what to toss. Behind a couple of boxes I found an old steamer trunk.”
The trunk, carrying the initials DAH, belonged to Hall’s grandfather. Inside
was what the artist calls “a treasure trove of history.” Blueprints of
Hall’s collaboration with Lindbergh, thought to be long gone, along with
photos and correspondence between the two were found inside the trunk. It
put him on a fast track into researching his grandfather’s historic work.
“What was inside the trunk became the basis for ‘Spirit and Creator,’” said
Hall. “There are pieces from the discovery that are now in museums in France
and in other places. Some were auctioned locally to get the book off the
ground. The discovery became the book, the book became the art.”
Hall describes his artistic styling as a fusion between surrealism and pop
art colors. Almost all of his art features an element of collage, including
one in which he has embedded an original headline recounting Lindbergh’s
Paris landing from the front page of the May 21, 1927, New York Herald.

Louis Saulino’s ATHLETE FOR HIRE takes readers on an E-ticket ride in an
attempt to sign a Three-Sport Superstar
Farmingville, N.Y. – (Release Date TBD) – “Sports is like war without the
killing,” according to media mogul and philanthropist Ted Turner. Praise and
even outright worship of successful professional athletes, on the other
hand, often exceeds our reverence for actual war heroes. If being
exceedingly good at one sport makes a man a star, what if he is exceedingly
good at three? Avid sports enthusiast and published author Louis Saulino has
created an engaging first novel, Athlete For Hire, set in the backdrop of
the professional sports industry. For additional media information, to set

Bartholomeaux, 602.404.8018 or bprworks@cox.net. For more information on

“As an armchair quarter back, I envisioned a scenario where a professional
sports team owner of three franchises (baseball, football, basketball) could
ponder hiring an all-around athlete,” Saulino explained. “This fictional
owner, Scott Thomas, meets with his general managers to discuss a highly

teams?’ Having time on my hands in the evening with my sons gone gave me
the opportunity to try out a ‘what if’ scenario. It was a blast and I hope
readers enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.”
As the college senior, Marc Stevens, competes in each sport, a “due
diligence” plan is prepared by the owner’s general managers and key staff to
have the athlete drafted by all three teams. Will the owner be successful in
signing the athlete to an unprecedented contract requiring him to be
available on an as-needed basis for each sport? Will the three sport phenom
become an Athlete for Hire?
Louis Saulino is a widower, father of two grown sons, and a sports
enthusiast. A civil engineering graduate of Manhattan College, he also has
his masters in Transportation Engineering and Planning and is a licensed
professional engineer. He practiced engineering in the New York metropolitan
area, in the private and public sectors, for forty years. In the fall of
2010, Louis Saulino decided to pursue his creative instincts and embarked in
writing a television script for an idea he initially conceived in the 1970s.
This was developed into Athlete for Hire. He also authored a fictional
baseball history book, “8″ Center Field in New York C (1951-1957).
