There's More . . .

A bat. A ball. A swing. A bullet. A death. A guide. A Life. A bat - varnished, rays of setting sun splintering north, south, east, west, until tension-stilled, it is ready. A ball - virgin white, never pitched nor struck, rocketing from hurler's hand. A swing - fluid, potent contact, propelling the ball moundward. A bullet - fired in revenge, racing ball to target. A death - accident? murder? Ball and bullet share the stage as dual protagonists in this unplotted drama. The pitcher falls, forehead concaved, a blackening hole deep at the crater's base. A guide - a most unusual companion, heaven-sent to assist at this unexpected crossing-over. A Life-"There's more . . . ." Relief pitcher Jack Thorne stares at his catcher's target. His single focus is to get this batter out. If he does, a coveted World Series ring will be his. But the Universe has a different plan for this Catholic priest-turned-ballplayer. "There's More . . ." is a creative imagining of the ultimate human mysteries-death and Afterlife. This gripping story invites readers to expand their existing concepts and consider broader cosmic possibilities in answer to the universal question, "What's next?"
