SAMPLE EXCERPT:
“What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”
Even though Michael wouldn’t label himself as a baseball fanatic, it was hard for him to ignore what was right in front of him. As a California resident, the Oakland A’s were always in his peripheral vision. Ever the financial-minded individual, it was no surprise that an issue related to money drew him in. Jose Canseco’s mega-million dollar deal to play right field was intriguing to Michael, more so was the fact that the left fielder was getting paid mere pennies! Michael set off to write a piece about the discrepancies in the Oakland A’s payroll. However, the research revealed evidence of a much larger issue. He may have set off to catch a fish, but he landed a whale.

Foreword
A personal note from the editor…
What if…?
was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.
When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I’m laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.
One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.
This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.
So without further ado, I present to you…
