For Immediate Release – "Hammie, the Soccer Playing Hamster" by Jim Joyce

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 20, 2007 -- Orlando, FL—In his 2nd book for and about children, Jim Joyce tries to capture the hearts of adults and children alike as he tells the story of an underdog team of soccer playing hamsters going up against the biggest team in the Hamsterville Recreation Soccer League, the Ratsville Giants!

“Hi, my name is Hammie, and I’m the greatest soccer playing hamster you’ve ever seen. You see, I was named after Mia Hamm, the greatest female soccer playing human in the history of the game. My parents were owned by a girl who watched Mia play on TV, so they named me ‘Hammie’ when I was born.”

“Ultimately this is a story about one of the benefits of children playing sports – overcoming adversity. There is always some one, or some team that a child has to overcome in order to “succeed” in sports – a lesson that carries over into our own lives as we grow into adults. This book will definitely appeal to readers of all ages.”
— Richard Lewis, Publisher of Educational Books in America

Joyce, who lives in Longwood, Florida, wrote his first book, Our Family, earlier this year to start a writing career once he reached retirement age. He has three granddaughters he thought would be delighted in reading a children’s book that their “Papa Jim” wrote.
