A coach just invited me to speak at his high school team's end of season banquet. He read my book, and wants a light hearted after-dinner speech. I'm thrilled to do it, and he is going to buy a copy of my book for each of his players. I am over the moon.

Celebrate basketball's best month - March Madness and read my whodunit thriller, Advantage Disadvantage for free. Download the ebook version on Smashwords.com using my 100% off (free) coupon: AP39F
Here's one of the Amazon reviews:
"Advantage / Disadvantage is a cleverly interwoven tale of High School athletes who are unwittingly taken in by the sleazy characters that cling to the periphery of organized sports, and profit from them by means of greed and deception.
This book was eye - opening and shocking, and at other times touching and surprising - but never was it boring. The characters inspired hope as well as loathing, and made me think that High School athletics might not be as simple and innocent as we are led to believe. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the sequel. Well done, Mr. Jaffe!" by David Shapiro
Enjoy my novel - your feedback is always welcome. Act now, the code expires soon! AP39F

A 5 star review about this book:
Those immersed in the basketball community will read "Advantage Disadvantage" and recognize many of the "usual suspects" and familiar situations that will make you chuckle... or bring your emotions to anger, disgust, sadness, excitement, and joy. Readers foreign to the world of hoops will gain some insight into the machinations of prep basketball, recruiting, officiating, and the cracks in the system that allows the slime to sometimes find it's way into our beautiful game.
"Advantage Disadvantage" is a fictional tale with high school basketball as the backdrop for an intriguing story of a cast of characters that challenges you to examine the purity of amateur sports. We get to know some individuals who are faced with some very real life temptations and we follow them while they try to reconcile right from wrong - all while wondering whether their decisions will prove to be an Advantage or a Disadvantage.

Work is progressing on the screen adaptation of "Advantage Disadvantage" into a screenplay by a well connected Hollywood scrennwriter. I am very excited to think that my murder-mystery novel depicting greedy adults exploiting a high school basketball player could hit the big screen. It's a little bit early (the screenplay is about 75% completed), but the project lurches forward every week.
The film will follow the book's srotylines with a little different sequence and emphasis. Also, the screenplay, and ultimately the book, will be renamed - more on that later. For now, check it out on Kindle, Smashwords, IPAD, etc for 99 cents!
Can't wait to tell you who has been cast in the main roles!!

Yale, Good news, bad news. Bad news: A gentle reminder that, as mentioned in our Forum Decorum, we ask that threads not be bumped by the word "bump." Good news: posting this reminder gave you another bump. Keep us posted about your screen adaptation! Betsy |
