Rick Wilber’s newest thriller is “Rum Point” (McFarland, 2010), which the literary baseball review Spitball called “a fast-paced ride …(that is) downright chilling,” adding that it makes for an “engrossing engaging novel.”
His memoir about baseball and caregiving, “My Father’s Game: Life, Death, Baseball” from McFarland Books, was said by best-selling author Peter Straub to be “a stunning book,” and one that “abounds with faith, heartbreak, love, insight, and honor.”
Rick’s thriller, “The Cold Road,” came out to good reviews in 2003, and his short-story collection, “Where Garagiola Waits,” was short-listed in 1999 for the Dave Moore Award for most important baseball book of the year. About fifty of his short stories have appeared in magazines like Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine, Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine, Analog, Elysian Fields Quarterly and other magazines and anthologies. Rick's father was a major-league baseball player, coach and manager and Rick often writes about the game. He is a journalism professor at the University of South Florida and also write college textbooks. His website is www.rickwilber.com
