The Cubeball Chronicles

The year is 2070. The United States, contrary to the opinion of many this century, still exists. However, political strife has caused two breakaway nations to blossom. The Democratic States of America exists mainly in the northeast and western sectors in the country, while the Independent American Union was also formed in states the decided they no longer wanted to be pawns in ever increasing battles between Republicans and Democrats. The American dollar went away, replaced a global currency called the Earth Credit. With the divide between political parties widening, insurance agent Alan Stoneman invents the game of Cubeball in the quiet hamlet of Roanoke, Virginia. The game, a combination of mainly American football, basketball, and Gaelic football, is played inside a Plexiglas cube on a field roughly the size of a hockey rink. But there’s something about the game captures worldwide interest over the years, and by the dawn of the 2070s, the game is played by over 8,000 professional clubs in eight geographic regions in scores of nations. Intrigue surrounds the yearly playing of the Global Club Championship in Las Vegas, as a team from a Los Angeles office supply chain battles a Japanese media consortium for the Stoneman Trophy.

His married female boss can’t keep her hands off of him, leading to the revelation and rescue of Shaughnessy by a secret admirer. What other mysteries are revealed as Lucas and his crew converge upon Sin City? Find out in The Cubeball Chronicles, the first part of a three book trilogy.

I was born September 6, 1971 in Largo, Florida, and I have been a Floridian most of my life. People told me growing up I've loved to read almost since I came out of the womb. By the time I was two or three I could read TV Guides and understand them, and I have been blessed for a thirst for knowledge. After graduating Largo High School in 1989, I got into board operating for radio stations in the Tampa Bay area, a career that lasted six and a half years. Since then, I've lived in Georgia, North Carolina, and twice in Las Vegas for a few weeks each time. Having mostly failed in the telemarketing industry in recent years, I started authoring E-books in 2012 here in Pinellas Park, Florida, where I have lived since 2007. I thank you for purchasing my book, and I would appreciate a review from you, whether you think the book was good, bad, or indifferent to it. My authoring skills can only develop with input, not getting it only keeps me a voice in the wilderness, if I may be so bold. Authoring isn't my only venture in life. I own five blogs and some other websites worth your time, depending on your interest. They are: A Slice Of Big Pauly: A commentary and storytelling blog, usually updated three times weekly. Pauly's Books: The Blog: A blog solely for book information and updates. The Boiler Room Chronicles: A blog that covers the world of telemarketing, or lack thereof, with stories from my adventures in it, past and present. The Big Brother Diaries: When the US version of Big Brother is going on, I usually have a lot to say about it. The Wide World of Simulated Sports: A blog about simulated sports games, another one of my passions. Pauly's World: A Tumblr blog that I use as another "transmission point" for all of the blogs listed above. Pauly's Books: The host website for all of my book endeavors. Pauly's Books On Facebook: The host page on Facebook for my book endeavors. My Amazon book listing: The entire roster of all of my books, updated when new books are written.
