The
contributor's note to my new article on The Classical about my experience
at the French Open that included seeing an 18-16 fifth set also marks the
first public announcement of my next novel.
RED DIRT: A TENNIS
NOVEL, will be published by Breakaway Books in spring 2015. It is the story of Jaxie Skinner, an unlikely
tennis pro from a blue-collar family in rural Georgia. At 18, he qualifies for the French Open and
reaches the semifinals, but then plummets as quickly as he rose. After
wasted years off, he mounts a long comeback in the grind of the satellite
tours, setting his sights on reaching the U.S. Open.

Sounds like another fine read by you. I am looking forward to enjoying it, especially because of the tennis connection-one of my favorite pasttimes.
