Jake Fischer, like many young men, struggled to find his place in the world all his life. At 12, he and his family left the familiarity of the Bronx to live in the unfamiliar, segregated world of South Carolina in the 1950s. An unexpected job loss brings the family back to the Bronx, but Jake has a falling-out with his parents and hitchhikes in Europe, traveling to the Dead Sea, the lowest place on Earth. With the nation preparing for the Vietnam War, Jake is drafted into the Army. Rejected by intelligence school, he transfers to the Michigan Army Hospital as a psychiatric social worker, doing his best to help soldiers wounded badly in mind and body. Nearby Detroit serves as a place for R&R, but the violence there—and demonstrations in Chicago in 1968—find him in league with those protesting the war. Jake works in a string of jobs before finding his true calling, which comes as a surprise to all involved: teaching U.S. history and acting at an alternative New York City high school. In the end it may be his students who teach him the biggest lesson. The Jake Fischer Stories provides an unflinchingly honest and sometimes humorous account of one man’s quest to find meaning and purpose in his life.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2013, the NBA Draft was filled with prospects that seemed safe enough choices. However, many scouts had doubts about the other talents in the draft. #2 Miller was the agent for Anthony Bennett, who was selected first by the Cavaliers. Miller had refused to allow any team to meet with his client Noel, as he feared he might slip in the draft if teams were allowed to meet with both Bennett and Noel. #3 The final year of Cleveland’s GM, Grant, was overseeing the Cavs’ pick. He needed to build a playoff contender, and end the Cavs’ postseason drought, ever since LeBron James migrated to South Beach during free agency in 2010. #4 In 2013, the Cleveland Cavaliers had the No. 1 pick, and they drafted Kyrie Irving. However, their front office was unsure if they should draft another phenom who would later walk out in free agency like LeBron James did. They ultimately chose Anthony Bennett.

"A singular, transcendent talent can change the fortunes of a basketball franchise faster than in any other sport. For NBA teams, three avenues exist for acquiring those pivotal superstars: signing players in free agency, adding them via trade, or hand-selecting them through the draft. One only has to look toward the outright fanfare surrounding recent top pick Zion Williamson to recognize that it's the pursuit of the latter which has defined and forever altered the NBA in its current era. It's a story that weaves its way behind closed doors to reveal intricate machinations normally hidden from public view. Backed by extensive reporting and hundreds of interviews with top players, coaches, and executives, Jake Fischer chronicles secret pre-draft workouts, feuding between player agents and executives, surprising trade negotiations, interpersonal conflict within rosters, organizational power struggles, and the missteps behind infamous public relations fiascos, making for a fascinating and unmissable insider's look at the NBA"--

“Diamond Ring might be the best sports romance I have ever read.” —Rachel Reid, USA TODAY bestselling author of Heated Rivalry and The Long Game "[A] home run of a romance." —New York Times Book Review Teammates reunite to give love another shot in the third installment of KD Casey’s riveting Unwritten Rules series. Jake Fischer has been here before: pitching for the Oakland Elephants, hiding his worries behind a smile, hoping to win it all. Ten years ago, it didn’t turn out the way he wanted. Nothing in his life did. But now he’s back—and so is the one teammate tied inexorably to his past. It doesn’t matter how many times catcher Alex Angelides replays that moment during the Fall Classic over in his mind, the outcome never changes. He’s not sure what happened to make that pitch glance off his glove, or what happened with his relationship with Jake—and he’s not going to be the one to ask. A whole lot may have changed in the last decade, but some things have stayed the same. Jake and Alex still can’t stay out of each other's faces on the field, or out of each other's beds off of it. They’ve got a second chance to win it all…but only if they realize what they lost. Unwritten Rules Book 1: Unwritten Rules Book 2: Fire Season Book 3: Diamond Ring
