My cousin D-Rock and I had such a good time, we decided to turn it into a thing. Like a weekly show. Now, I can&#8217;t promise that this show is going to be good. Or focused. Or not-grainy looking. Because of the houseplant in my office, it might look like some episodes were shot in a jungle setting. But we&#8217;ll be there, talking about stuff, every week.<\/p>\n<p>Our first episode is what happened when we tried to film a promo, asking for viewers (and blog readers, too!) to send in questions and topics for us. We&#8217;ll give you credit when we film it. So, feel free to leave a comment at the video page, or on my YouTube channel, or just in the comments here, and ask us a question or suggest a topic and we&#8217;ll talk about it. Here, I&#8217;ll just let the two idiots in the video attempt to explain it:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p0f9Fw97rR0] <\/p>\n<h3>SECOND BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!<\/h3>\n<p>Today is the release of the final novella in my Abigail Barnette baseball trilogy. TRIPLE PLAY is going to be out TODAY, folks! Can I just tell you how relieved I am that the Detroit Tigers made it into the post season? Because if the Grand Rapids Bengals are having such a bang-up season in fiction and the Tigers didn&#8217;t even make the post, I was going to feel like I cursed them. Anyway, read on for the cover, blurb, and a link to buy (the book will be &#8220;on sale&#8221; later this afternoon).<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-0DBau4I8Ag8\/UHVyCfglJsI\/AAAAAAAACUA\/Y-7PkrynKVk\/s1600\/Triple+Play+50.jpeg\" style=\"margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/jennytrout.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/10\/ce776-tripleplay50.jpeg\" width=\"207\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><i>It\u2019s been an incredible year for the Grand Rapids Bengals, and for Eva Colchado, sports writer for the local paper, the season is about to get a lot more interesting. \u00a0She\u2019s about to break a major story exposing a gambling scandal that involves the team\u2014while getting involved with two players, herself.<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><i>When Taylor Coburn made a silly bet with the cute reporter, he had no idea that she would follow through on it.
