YAKIMA, Wash. - October 13, 2020 - (Newswire.com)

​Larry Fournier, a retired businessman and lifelong sports fan, has completed his new book “The Homer King”: a gripping and potent story of an amateur baseball player driven to succeed in the major leagues.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Larry Fournier’s rousing tale follows Blain Duncan, a family man living in Idaho. Blain and his wife Alene returned to Idaho to help run Blain’s family’s business after Blain’s father’s cancer becomes progressively worse. Blain is an honest man, and once he becomes the general manager of the family company, he maintains the utmost level of morality. During the following several years, unexpected and life-changing events within Blain and Alene’s families test Blain’s willingness to persevere and overcome the obstacles.

One day, a mysterious visitor to Blain’s office invites Blain to try out for a baseball team, informing Blain that he knows of his untapped potential as a hitter. At the tryout, Blain impresses the management of the team, a minor league farm team of the Los Angeles Angels. Blain’s skills as a designated hitter elevate his status, and soon he is discovered as a new rising talent in the baseball world, with all the costs and benefits that entails. Throughout this whirlwind process, Blain never loses sight of his true, upstanding character and always acts in the best interests of his family.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “The Homer King” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
