Book Lover`s Haven Features Athlete`s Mom

We see it every day, the moment famous athlete`s decide to retire from their prosporous careers and lead a normal life, it seems they are somewhat forgotten. The new issue of The Book Lover?s Haven speaks clearly and candidly about this very instance in an athlete`s life, and the importance of parents focusing on education and life-after-sports above athletics.

The Book Lover`s Haven is a monthly literary periodical started five years ago by writer Denise Turney, author of the books Portia, Love Has Many Faces, Spiral, Run and Sharp Across A Rainbow Sky. Turney started The Book Lover?s Haven, to provide global readers and writers serious about the craft a place to gain firsthand advice from new, seasoned and established novelists, journalists, screenplay writers, non-fiction writers and poets.

This new issue of the literary giant features Nancy Samuels, mother of a successful student athlete and author of More Than Victories. A proud recipient of the 2005 Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award, the only award program honored by Disney, Nancy makes it clear that despite a child?s athletic skill, academic excellence allows for longer success. The entire feature is available for free upon request at The Book Lover`s Haven.
