STEVE HERMANOS
Steve Hermanos is a writer with wide-ranging interests. But his obsession with baseball is driving him to write a series of time-travel novels about the sport.
Steve has been profiled in the New York Times and other publications. He owned a sports bar, and was a baseball card dealer.
He is a consultant to the Helmar Baseball Art Card Company, and writes the backs of their 1933 Goudey-style cards. Steve plays softball in a beer-and-junk-food league in San Francisco, and coaches Little League.
BASEBALL POETRY
Steve wrote O, Gigantic Victory! The 2010 Championship Season, about the San Francisco Giants, the World Series, and the wider world of baseball and sports. The book attracted unexpectedly-large sales and attention.
After the Giants conquered the baseball world again, in 2012, Steve wrote Orange Waves of Giants!
O, Gigantic Victory! and Orange Waves of Giants! are available on all e-Readers as a combo book. Here's the Amazon link.
FLOATING GIANTS!
