I am the publisher of The Power Stones, Book 1 of the
Secrets of Artasia by Erin Larene Wheeler.
When I taught high school, Erin was a student at the school. One year and one week ago, Brion Kennett, a
member or iCrew Digital Productions, got me in touch with Erin and that she was
writing a fantasy novel. Erin agreed to
allow me to publish the book and she and I have worked hard to bring the book
out last October.

A local coaching and broadcasting icon who is
well known and respected throughout the San Diego sports community, John
Kentera begins his fifth season as general manager of the San Diego
Sockers, including his second year as vice president of operations.
Under his direction, the Sockers have fashioned a 58-6 record in the
Professional Arena Soccer League during the regular season, and have won three
PASL championships. Kentera was instrumental in moving the team back to its
original home, the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, where the Sockers
enjoyed their best attendance in 2012-13 since their return to action. With a
relentless focus on improving the team on the field and in the community, and a
dedication to building the Sockers’ status as a key part of the San Diego
sports landscape, Kentera remains the driving force behind the Sockers’ front
office.

A standout student-athlete in basketball,
football and baseball at Torrey Pines High School, Kentera went on to play
basketball and baseball collegiately at Mira Costa College, eventually earning
a full-ride basketball scholarship at United States International University.
After a knee injury ended his athletic career at USIU, Kentera graduated from college
and began his coaching career, a seventeen year journey that would earn him his
on-air nickname of “The Coach”. John began as an assistant baseball
coach at Torrey Pines from 1979-81, then moved on to coach at Mira Costa and
Southwestern community colleges, and eventually rose to the position of
recruiting coordinator and assistant coach at Texas Tech University. Kentera
returned home to raise his family in his hometown of San Diego in 1987, and
continued to coach another seven years of high school sports at Torrey Pines.

It was also in 1987 that Kentera’s broadcasting
career began, a career that has continued and thrived ever since. Starting at
690 XTRA Gold in 1987, “The Coach” was on hand when the station
converted to XTRA Sports 690 in 1990, one of the legendary sports-talk radio
stations on the West Coast. Kentera has worked at The Mighty 1090 sports radio
since its inception in 2003, and currently serves as the host of a nightly
three-hour show from 6-9pm as well as hosting duties for the San Diego Padres
pre-and-postgame shows. His “High School Scoreboard Show” has been on
the air since 1991 and has served as a staple of the high school sports
coverage scene in San Diego. John’s on-air and broadcasting credits on
television and radio include the San Diego Chargers, Los Angeles Kings, SDSU
and USD football and basketball, and high school CIF championships in both
football and basketball.

John, 55, lives in Solana Beach with his wife
Kelly, and is the proud father of daughters Brooke and Ashley and two
granddaughters.

by William Barrons

Available Free on Amazon.com

between Tuesday and Saturday

Bill’s Birthday is Monday, February 1st and we want to make him #1 on the Mystery-Police Procedural before we publish The Homeless Homicides on his birthday.

Born 1926, in Cadillac, Michigan, the oldest boy of fourteen kids. Survived the Great Depression and joined the Marines the day after I turned 17. Could hardly wait to go fight those nasty Nazis and Japs. Served 2½ war years in the Marines. Got married, went to college, had kids, re-joined the Marines in 1949 – in time for the Korean War. Became a Marine Second Lieutenant but was a Platoon Commander only for a short while as my sick wife nearly died and I had to resign to care for my family. Became a Telephone equipment engineer with AT&T in Chicago. Then was a kitchen and home remodeling designer for 22 years. Retired at age 69 and began to research and write novels. At age 89, I’m still at it!
