Basketball Junkie: A Memoir

By: Chris Herren, Bill Reynolds.

I was dead for thirty seconds.

That’s what the cop in Fall River told me. 

When the EMTs found me, there was a needle in my arm and a packet of heroin in the front seat.

At basketball-crazy Durfee High School in Fall River, Massachusetts, junior guard Chris Herren carried his family’s and the city’s dreams on his skinny frame. His grandfather, father, and older brother had created their own sports legends in a declining city; he was the last, best hope for a career beyond the shuttered mills and factories. Herren was heavily recruited by major universities, chosen as a McDonald’s All-American, featured in a Sports Illustrated cover story, and at just seventeen years old became the central figure in Fall River Dreams, an acclaimed book about the 1994 Durfee team’s quest for the state championship. 

            Leaving Fall River for college, Herren starred on Jerry Tarkanian’s Fresno State Bulldogs team of talented misfits, which included future NBA players as well as future convicted felons. His gritty, tattooed, hip-hop persona drew the ire of rival fans and more national attention: Rolling Stone profiled him, 60 Minutes interviewed him, and the Denver Nuggets drafted him. When the Boston Celtics acquired his contract, he lived the dream of every Massachusetts kid—but off the court Herren was secretly crumbling, as his alcohol and drug use escalated and his life spiraled out of control.

            Twenty years later, Chris Herren was married to his high-school sweetheart, the father of three young children, and a heroin junkie. His basketball career was over, consumed by addictions; he had no job, no skills, and was a sadly familiar figure to those in Fall River who remembered him as a boy, now prowling the streets he once ruled, looking for a fix. One day, for a time he cannot remember, he would die.

            In his own words, Chris Herren tells how he nearly lost everything and everyone he loved, and how he found a way back to life. Powerful, honest, and dramatic, Basketball Junkie is a remarkable memoir, harrowing in its descent, and heartening in its return.

A House Of Brick and Mortar

By: S. W. Frank.

Tristan Martin is a well-respected Director of a National Search and Rescue Agency. He's an expert when it comes to national disasters, however, it's his personal life which has him feeling the pressure.

Lately, he's experienced a sense of foreboding. Could it be due to his wife's plans to travel abroad to a region near a recent terrorist attack, a secret he's keeping about his brother-in-law Eric or a case of PTSD responsible for all the sleepness nights?

Whatever it is the symptoms are worsening and Tristan's gut is telling him there's something sinister coming!


'A pulsing good read with sensual, identifiable and appealing characters who held me in their clutches from the very beginning.'

Blitz Kids: The Cinderella Story of the 1944 University of Utah National Championship Basketball Team

By: Tres Ferrin, Josh Ferrin.

In the 1940s, before March Madness, the frenzy of the NBA draft, and multimilliondollar professional contracts, college basketball players played simply because they loved the game. This is the story of a group of kids who loved to play basketball: the underdog 1943-44 University of Utah men's basketball team and their unlikely path to the NCAA championship, who came out of nowhere to upset heavily favored Dartmouth for the title.

Josh Ferrin and Tres Ferrin, grandson and son of Arnie Ferrin, both grew up hearing stories of Arnie's illustrious basketball career at the University of Utah. Josh established himself as an award-winning illustrator and author before deciding to research and write the story of Arnie's championship season. He resides in Bountiful, Utah, with his wife and two sons. Tres is a physical therapist who has practiced in the area of sports medicine for thirty-five years, an adjunct faculty member at Weber State University, and an avid cyclist. He and his wife, Sherry, live in Ogden, Utah.

The original and unlikeliest of Cinderella stories

The Basketball Wife's Etiquette Training Book: The Complete List Of Acceptable Things To  Interrupt Your Husband's Basketball Game Viewing For

By: Bob Silber.

This is a novelty book. The reader opens the book to find no text, just blank pages throughout the book, with the wording "The List," printed at the top of each page. The blank page's "list" represents the fact that there is no acceptable thing, event or occurrence, of when it is socially permitted, in a civilized society, for the wife to interrupt the husband's basketball game viewing, from the husband's point of view. As the book introduction explains, by having an established, firm set of rules, both sides of a relationship, the male and the female, would know what is acceptable and what is not, in the way of interruptions, when the male is watching his favorite team play basketball. The book introduction, also states that "the conclusions you are about to read, are the result of a team collaboration, with the world's leading psychiatrists, mental health experts, marriage and relationship counselors." Rather than a greeting card, this book is a fun gift to give and tease that someone special in your life. This book is a useful gift that can be used as a journal, notebook, recipe book, diary, grocery list, sketch pad, doodling pad, witch's spell book, or paper weight.
