  Unladylike - A History of Ladies...

  After first emerging in the 1920s, ladies Gaelic football was soon sidelined; breathless women chasing after a football was just too unladylike for the powers that be.
  Despite this resistance, the sport became a popular novelty act at local carnivals. And when the Ladies Gaelic
  
  Football Association (LGFA) was founded in Tipperary in July 1974, fifty years of extraordinary growth were set in motion. From writing the rule book to a membership of nearly 200,000, the earliest All-Stars to game-changing partnerships, this definitive history captures that unstoppable journey to becoming a national sport and so much more.
  Lavishly illustrated and drawing from national, club and personal archives, UNLADYLIKE is for the players, the fans, the kit-washers, the sandwich-makers and the supporters alike, and confirms the best is yet to come.

  Award-winning writer Rod Serling revolutionized television. His celebrated career, including bruising bouts with executives over censorship, is rooted in the boxing ring. Serling scholar and boxing expert Christopher Benedict ventures between the ring lights and the shadow of the screenplay to offer a deftly guided tour through Serling's personal and literary history with the controversial sport. 
   
  Benedict pulls back the curtain on Serling's time in the ring as a prizefighter and how that influenced his groundbreaking writing. From Serling’s first ever published piece of work, a boxing story featured in The Antiochian, to the Peabody Award winning Requiem for a Heavyweight, to The Twilight Zone and beyond. Noted for finding humanity, poignancy, and pathos deep within the violent spectacle of boxing, Rod Serling’s powerful influence on the genre still reverberates through modern big budget blockbuster fight films like Rocky, Raging Bull, and Million Dollar Baby. 
   
  Through these ten incredible rounds you'll meet a cast of pugnacious pugilists and discover the unforgettable stories they inspired Rod Serling to create. The result is a knockout exploration of Serling's literary art and "the sweet science" which we call The Twilight Rounds. 
   
  "Demonstrates my dad's affection for boxing and for the human being behind the glove" 
  -Anne Serling, author of As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling.   
   
  "This is a knockout piece of work."

  "A fascinating look at how Rod Serling's time in the boxing world left a lasting mark on his writing"

  Praise for Graham Mott & "Hooked by Fly Fishing." 
  Here is a book review from John Shewey, Editor of American Fly Fishing Magazine: 
  "I love a good yarn, but a fun tale from a fly angler is especially entertaining, and Graham M. Mott delivers a collection of true stories that will ring familiar to anyone who has practiced the art for a longtime. His stories will resonate with fly anglers in all walks of life. 
  In one incident, Mott manages to impale himself with a fly. We’ve all been there, but not of all us have fished out the rest of the day with a fly dangling from our lip before finally seeking medical attention at a local clinic. Some of us have done that, but few of us can report a second self-hooking that only to ends up in front of the same doctor. 
   Mott recalls many times when his favorite sport—his addiction—has provided him catharsis. Mott’s stories enshrine personal relationships made all the richer through fly fishing. His stories range from the humorous to the poignant. He also recounts some great catches, but his essays clearly echo the sentiment that it’s the fishing that matters far more than the catching." 
  *A Great gift for any fisherman. Listen now!
