ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Daniel Pasternack

Daniel Pasternack is an educator, father and lifelong athlete.  As a child, he wrote and published about a dozen books, ranging from science fiction to coming-of-age stories.  Once he grew up, Daniel got the itch to write again, and he completed his first book in 2022.  That book, "You're Not Welcome Here: Exclusionary Practices in the Game of Baseball" combined his love for history and social justice with his love of sports to analyze the game of baseball and its changing landscape.

While working on his second non-fiction book, inspiration struck Daniel and he switched gears and began to work on a fiction series for young readers.  This series, SLAPSHOT SISTERS is inspired by his own daughter's journey into the world of youth ice hockey.  The first book in the series, EMMA'S NEW HOMETOWN was released in December of 2023, and the second book, THE COMEBACK was released in March of 2024 with more books in the series to come later in 2024.
