The Barons of Memphis
This book is a multi-generational tale of a political family in the mid-south; with all the steamy details that emerge after a crime that shocks the city. In the aftermath of this grisly murder, Memphians are scandalized by the gruesome details that emerge, and all the national attention it attracts. At the center, is the eccentric charmer, socialite and Instagram aficionado, Hunter Baron. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, this trust-fund baby has spent his life in pursuit of pleasure, fame and adventure. Now he’s faced with infamy as the defendant in a high-profile trial. Only his legal team, headed by the city’s legal superstars can ensure that he gets a fair trial in the middle of a media circus. Only Marnie Gellhorn can tell this story, even as she confronts her own past with the suspect.

The Negro Southern League
The Negro Southern League was a baseball minor league that operated off and on from 1920 to 1951. It served as a valuable feeder system to the Negro National League and the Negro American League. A number of NNL and NAL stars got their start in the NSL, among them five Hall of Famers including Satchel Paige and Willie Mays. During its history, more than 80 teams were members of the league, representing 40 cities in a dozen states. In the end only four teams remained, operating more as semipro than professional teams. This book is a narrative history of the league from its inception with eight teams in major Southern cities until its demise three decades later.
