Serpant Dance by New Westminster Fraser Larry Brooks

1974 found bestselling thriller author Larry Brooks pitching for the New Westminster Frasers.  Brooks weaves a web of intrigue that keeps a reader spellbound. Now I have finished my 3rd Brooks novel I want to locate “Pressure Points”. Larry Brooks has a website: storyfix.com that a novelist hopeful should check-out.  As yet Brooks has not made a baseball player one of his heroes.

I have almost finished my third book by New Westminster Fraser award winning author Larry Brooks ``Serpant Dance``.  The New Westminster Library does not have any books by Larry Brooks thus I will have to find them on the internet.

New Westminster Frasers an independent team

Dean Taylor built the expansion New Westminster Frasers with tryout camps and working with the Portland Mavericks.  Althought the New Westminster Frasers had a losing season they had a better record than two of the other teams.

The New Westminster Frasers one year Club

In January 1974 the Northwest League expanded to eight teams and the New Westminster Frasers were born.  I was an idea of Dean Taylor a 23 year old with his friend Mike Manning who felt that they had the ability to run a baseball franchise.  Ove r1974 they proved they had the knowledge to stock and run a team.
