By going 5-5, for the THIRD time this season, our published author, Mr. Faggiana became the 25th member of the 1000 hit club. Great job and congratulations!

He joins Joey Doyle in reaching the milestone this season.

Our author in residence, Jimmy Faggiana says this about his book:

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in my book, The Portal. A couple of items of note here, if I may. First, there is a cheaper way to purchase the hardcopy. Find it on ReaderHouse.com and enter a Promo Code: FFSave10. I also usually have copies with me at reduced cost. A second item, many of you have finished reading it already, and I welcome your comments, especially the negatives! I know this is not for everyone, and won't take it personally. This helps me with the sequel, which is about a year away. And, last, here is a list of D1 personnel who appear in the book....
