Dave Cashman knows baseball. As the son of the New York Yankees’ general manager, the game has always shaped his life-from packed stadiums to carefully protected binders of treasured baseball cards. At school, however, his famous last name brings pressure, unwanted attention, and a growing target on his back. His one constant is Ryan, his best friend and a proud Red Sox fan trying to fit into a city that doesn’t welcome rival colors.
When a school bully begins terrorizing students and destroying what matters most to them, Dave feels trapped between fear and responsibility. Everything changes when he acquires a rare 1941 Joe DiMaggio baseball card-one that holds an unexpected secret. The legendary Yankee comes to life, stepping out of the card to mentor Dave and remind him of baseball’s core values: perseverance, integrity, and heart.
At first, Dave believes DiMaggio’s magic can fix everything. But he soon learns that no legendary swing can solve real-life problems. As the bullying escalates, Dave must find courage within himself. When he uncovers the bully’s hidden loneliness, Dave faces a defining choice-protect what he loves most or risk it all to do what’s right.
Is That DiMaggio? is a heartfelt sports fantasy about friendship, identity, and standing up for others. Perfect for readers ages 13-20, especially baseball fans, this story celebrates the magic of the game while delivering a timeless message about courage, empathy, and true character-on and off the field.

January marks a fresh start for authors—and it also marks Book Blitz Month, a focused opportunity to jump-start book visibility at the very beginning of the year. As readers set new reading goals and look for fresh content, authors who take advantage of early-year marketing can build momentum that carries throughout the months ahead.
Book Blitz Month encourages concentrated promotional activity designed to put books in front of readers quickly and consistently during a time when attention is high and competition is resetting.
What Is Book Blitz Month?
Book Blitz Month is a marketing-focused period dedicated to concentrated promotion over a short timeframe. Rather than spreading efforts thin, authors use a blitz-style approach to generate visibility through coordinated outreach, features, and reader engagement.
This approach is especially effective in January, when readers are exploring new titles and authors are energized by New Year goals.
Why January Is the Ideal Time for a Book Blitz
January offers a unique marketing advantage. Holiday distractions have passed, readers are returning to routines, and many are actively searching for their next great read.
Launching a Book Blitz early in the year allows authors to establish momentum, gather early engagement, and create a strong foundation for ongoing promotion.
What a Successful Book Blitz Can Include
A Book Blitz typically combines multiple promotional elements working together over a defined period. These may include online features, reader outreach, social media promotion, email announcements, and retail visibility efforts.
When coordinated properly, these activities reinforce one another and help extend a book’s reach beyond a single channel.
Who Should Consider Participating
Book Blitz Month is valuable for both newly published authors and those looking to reenergize an existing title. It is especially helpful for authors who want a structured, time-bound promotional push without committing to long-term campaigns right away.
Fiction and nonfiction authors alike can benefit from the increased exposure a focused blitz provides.
Turning New Year Motivation Into Marketing Momentum
Many authors set marketing goals at the start of the year but struggle to take action. Book Blitz Month offers a clear, actionable framework to move from intention to execution.
By committing to a concentrated promotional effort in January, authors can turn early motivation into measurable visibility.
A Strong Start for a Successful Publishing Year
Book marketing is most effective when it is intentional and timely. Book Blitz Month gives authors a built-in opportunity to act early, stay focused, and build awareness at the start of the year.
For authors looking to make the most of January and establish momentum for the months ahead, Book Blitz Month provides a strategic and energizing way to begin the publishing year.
