About the Book

Rob Wardell is a seventeen-year old who feels like he doesn't quite fit in anywhere--not at home, not at school and not on the baseball field. The small, shy boy stays on the high school baseball team only to please his father since he knows he will never get to play. He's living his life alone until he finds himself drawn into a friendship with the team's new star pitcher, Josh Schlagel. The two boys hit it off instantly; maybe it's because Josh isn't exactly welcomed by the team either. But as Rob and Josh grow closer and start spending more time together away from the field, Rob realizes this his friend is hiding something. The bruises on Josh's body and his reluctance to let Rob know about certain parts of his life have Rob suspicious. When Josh's secrets are finally revealed and become life threatening, Rob and his family must step up to the plate.

About the Author :
Walter G. Meyer is the co- or ghost-writer of six nonfiction books including "The Respectful Leader", an Amazon-best-selling and Axiom Award-winning business fable. His critically-acclaimed, award-winning, and Amazon-bestselling novel "Rounding Third" was published just before the bullying crisis started making the news and he created a presentation "Accept and Respect: the keys to ending bullying," which he has taken to colleges, high schools, and corporations across the country. He has been on radio and television programs including NPR and he has spoken at colleges, libraries and community centers across the country. Mr. Meyer's articles have appeared in Kiplinger's Personal Finance, the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, Westways, Baja Explorer, Out, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and dozens of other magazines and newspapers. He is the co-author and a widely-produced stage play GAM3RS which spawned Gam3rCon, a "Made of Awesome" gaming convention built around the play. Several of his screenplays have been optioned, but never quite made into movies--yet. To support his writing habit over the years he has worked a variety of jobs, some of which are chronicled in his plogs. He began writing his plogs during the Covid quarantine, publishing them one story at a time on Facebook to entertain himself and his friends and followers. Originally from Pittsburgh, Mr. Meyer has a degree from the School of Communications at Penn State and currently resides in San Diego.

Review :
I have tried on several occasions to put into words exactly how good Rounding Third is, but there are really no ways to tell you exactly why this book is haunting, thrilling and inspiring all at the same time. This is one of those books that will be discussed not just because of its lessons but because it is delivered in such a way that readers of all backgrounds and interests will be able to find something that they can take away from it. Rounding Third hits a literary home run for sure. Cyrus Webb, radio host, and editor Conversations Magazine Rounding Third is the amazing tale of Rob and Josh, two boys in love. I found myself rooting for these young men, wishing that I could enter the book and save them. Their journey is filled with hope, sorrow, joy--first love was never tackled like this." -Noël Alumit, Lambda Literary Awarding winning author of Letters to Montgomery Clift "Another solid addition to the growing canon of gay teen lit. I've been wondering when someone would write a book about the gay teen experience for athletes--a sort of TAKE ME OUT for gay teens. This just may be it!" - Brent Hartinger, author of Geography Club and The Order of the Poison Oak " Walter Meyer has written a moving and powerful story of intense love between two young jocks. Rounding Third is a page turner and I couldn't put it down once I started reading. You find yourself deeply caring for the fate of the characters and moved by their struggle to find themselves and each other. A unique, well written and wonderful novel." - David Mixner, author of Stranger Among Friends
