Books with author Roy Dennis

A wild ride inside the glowing head of Dennis Rodman--the NBA's greatest rebounder and America's most outspoken and outrageous athlete.When Sports Illustrated put the man they call "America's most provocative athlete" on their cover, they sold more copies than any other issue they had sold in a decade (except the swimsuit issue). Why? Because Dennis Rodman, superstar basketball player who joined the Chicago Bulls for the 1996 season, has more in common with Mick Jagger than with his new teammate Michael Jordan. With his body-covering tattoos and ever-changing fluorescent hair, Rodman's sideline antics and celebrated benchings have captivated sports fans as much as his record-breaking on-court performances and earned him a reputation as a rebel with the same penchant for shocking behavior as his on-again off-again squeeze, Madonna. In Bad as I Wanna Be he shares his surprising and candid opinions on everything from fame, money, and race relations, to sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll--and he'll talk about his life, from going to prison for stealing watches to his daughter, the light of his life.At a time when most celebrities and professional athletes try to control their public personas like politicians and refrain from expressing their true beliefs, Dennis Rodman is a refreshingly unique, uncompromising individual who both transcends his world and refuses to conform to it. Bad as I Wanna Be is as candid, intriguing, and unforgettable as he is.

Adventures in Shroomville, a Children-Young Adults novel, has earned many accolades and is honoured to be chosen by educators as an important featured part of the national Newspapers in Education program. Chapters are being serialized by The Hamilton Spectator, and likely other newspapers, throughout the fall. Shroomville had been a happy little village, tucked away deep in a vast boreal forest whose bristling green canopy stretched beyond forever... Oh, one little detail makes this village stand out. You see, these villagers are tiny... about as tall as a typical adult's size-nine shoe. And they live peacefully and happily in mushroom houses. Large, living mushroom houses... For Marshall Shroom, growing up here had been happiness itself - until his 13th year that is! Responding to a telepathic cry for help, Mars sets out on a quest to rescue his father and his best friend Portia from the clutches of the evil Maliset. With emerging new powers and the help of strange new friends, will Marshall succeed in his mission in time? Ron Dennis was once young himself and has never fully recovered from that experience, Writing remarkably enjoyable books for children and young adults is his own form of therapy
