[Age 10 & up to Ph.D. level readers] The purpose of writing Champion was to "Hook Kids on Reading." Here is a taste of the easy-to-read 25,000 word, twelve chapter book that was specifically designed to help hook kids on reading. Kids of all ages seem to laugh right off the bat while reading the Chapter One heading. Try it with kids in your family, or any kids you know. Almost without exception, all children giggle with pleasure and anticipation while reading the words quoted below: Chapter One "Hey... what about my Money?" The desert air was clear and crisp, at the boxing camp of former heavyweight champ Frank L. Jackson, when Roman Lefthanded Losinski appeared... ### Q. Do you like to read? Yes? Q. Do you like to see kid's get "hooked on reading"? Also Yes? Then please help me "set" and then "break," some "Personal World Records" of the number of "Books Sold," in a 48 hour span, & also in 5 hours or less, and help us all get more kids "hooked on books."

In early August a woman saw me wearing the Tee-Shirt advertising my book Champion in our local Carl's Jr Restaurant. She asked where she could get a copy. I told here in Fairbanks at Barnes & Noble, and every other bookstore in town, On-Line at Amazon.com or BuyBooksOnTheWeb.com, or she could get a signed copy from me. She asked me to get her a copy. I went out to my truck and brought her back a brand new book. After she looked the book Champion over and read a sample, she decided to buy five more copies to give to friends as gifts... Hmmm... I'm thinking I'll have to wear my Champion shirt and go to Carl's more often... 8/12/08 Latest News!

| Abstract: | "CHAMPION..." is an easy to read little book about the life of a hardworking man from Fairbanks, Alaska--- who has left Alaska when the book begins (for reasons you find out later in the book), and has found work as a gardener's helper at a Professional Boxer Training Camp in Sedona, Arizona. On day one, after a long day's work laboring in the hot desert sun, he lets the Professional's talk him into being their "fill-in" sparring partner. Using a surprising combination of his strength, wits and homegrown ability---along with the stroke of luck of being in the right place at the right time---he gets an offer to enter the serious world of Professional Boxing... ### |
