Thanks to everyone who has supported GOODBYE, MR. SPALDING over the years, especially readers picking it up for the first time! Look for my second Philadelphia-based #historicalfiction middle grade novel - THUNDER AND MERCY - in Fall 2026 w/ Astra Publishing House. #kidlit

So many photos were used for reference while #writing GOODBYE, MR. SPALDING. The boy peeking at Connie Mack acted as early inspiration for main character Jimmy Frank. #kidlit #HistoricalFiction #Athletics

A favorite image from GOODBYE, MR. SPALDING research: this 1910 Bromley Map featuring #Baseball Alley. Shibe Park (Athletics) & the Baker Bowl (Phillies) are five blocks apart along Lehigh Avenue. Jimmy & Lola's rooftop bleachers are circled! #HistoricalFiction #kidlit source: hiddencityphila.org

GOODBYE, MR. SPALDING is very much a story of two #friends - Jimmy and Lola - who are guided by their own set of rules. This inspiration is from wall art in my childhood home. #friendship #MGLit #Kidlit #HistoricalFiction

Two important characters in GOODBYE, MR. SPALDING are Connie Mack & Jimmie Foxx. Grateful for the historians/photographers/journalists/authors who so carefully document #baseball through the years. #Kidlit #HistoricalFiction Photo Credit: Leslie Jones Collection

Early inspiration for GOODBYE, MR. SPALDING came after reading TO EVERY THING A SEASON by Bruce Kuklick in 2009. If you love #Philly sports, pick up a copy! 8 years later he was kind enough to fact check my book. A great author & historian. #HistoricalFiction #baseball

And a few more from Philadelphia's Shibe Park in the later years of the right field rooftop bleachers. The fire marshal eventually required railings to be installed. #baseball
