Casey Gallagher has it all together—a lucrative marketing career in Boston, a happy marriage, and a successful sports column she writes with her younger brother Griffin. She’s got a plan to save for a dream home in the suburbs and then have kids, even though her cop husband Sam doesn’t see the need to wait.
The memory of her father still looms large four years after his passing. He was the cop who let her shine his boots, and she’s idolized him since she was a little girl. Even Sam can’t live up to his legacy. Then Casey receives a letter that bursts her balloon. Could her father not have been all she believed he was, and if so, how can her mother, who recently remarried and found a new faith, so easily forgive her former husband? Even the Red Sox rookies Casey and Griffin have recently befriended seem to have an inner peace that puzzles her.
As Casey attempts to fit the changes life throws at her into her idealistic plan, she is challenged by the dialogue running in her head. Is it her conscience, her imagination, or the voice of the God she’s not sure she believes in?

Review
From the Author
This novel--and any others I write--is allmy husband's fault. When I first met [Ralph] David James in 2005, I was in themidst of writing a memoir about my past seven years as a widow. When Iexpressed concern to him about people recognizing themselves in my story, Davidsuggested I turn it into fiction. A logical solution to my emotional dilemma.And there you go--that's the perfect tagline for our marriage. David's beenmaking my life simpler and less confusing since the day I met him. I amthankful every day for his love, patience, kindness, tech support, and quirkysense of humor.
My protagonist, Casey Gallagher, hasmany of the good qualities of my daughter, Erin Hennessey. Thanks, Erin, foryour knowledge of running, Fenway, and close mother/daughter relationships.Mostly, thanks for letting me help decorate your house when my creative juicesneeded time away from the computer.
Thanks to my two sons, Christopher andDarby MacEacheron, mainly for their sports knowledge and humorous bantering.You gave me plenty of material for Casey and Griffin, my bickering-siblingcharacters. I believe Darby came up with the name Double Header. But I'll let you two argue that point.
Thanks also to two of my grandsons, MichaelHennessey and Darin Flynn MacEacheron, who inspired key characters--Boston Red Soxpitcher Mike Hennessey and catcher Darin Flynn. First you lent me your names; thenI incorporated some of your physical and personality traits. Whenever Ipictured you two while developing these characters, it always made me smile.
I am grateful for my fellow writers and critiquerswho helped me in various ways. Here are only a few of them: Mike Anderson dugfor the spiritual lessons; Ellen Davison taught me how to show not tell; LisaLawmaster Hess corrected my tenses; Cricket Lomicka pushed me to use all fivesenses; Steven Moore deleted needless blabbering; Jeremiah Peters taught me abouttension; Teresa Santoski inspired me with her flawless passages; Terrie Todd uncoveredmy inconsistencies; and my husband David let me use many of his funniest lines.
Thanks to my family and friends for notrunning away every time I brought up my writing. Thanks as well to my advance readers.Your encouragement and suggestions made my book better.
A big thank you to my professional team:my agent Joyce Hart of Hartline Literary Agency for her wisdom and experience;Shaun Kuhn of Suzy-Q Author Coaching for his marketing expertise and sense of humor;and publisher C.J. Darlington and the staff of Mountainview Books LLC for a jobdone well. Above all, thank you to Jerry B. Jenkins. Without his generosity anddesire to give back, there would be no Operation First Novel Contest to enter.
One last thank you to Mr. James Ruberti,my English teacher at Barnstable High School (Cape Cod, MA) decades ago. Hemade putting words together fascinating and fun. I had a chance to thank him someyears back, but it's worth doing again. Excellent teachers deserve extracredit.
Finally and for always, thank you, Lord Jesus.
From the Inside Flap
The loving sibling rivalry between Caseyand her brother in Double Header is ahoot! I loved the honest portrait of Casey and was oh-so-able to identify withmany of her foibles. The mystery undergirding the story was an emotional andspiritual challenge that realistically paved the way for changes--if Casey wouldonly respond! ~ Stephanie Prichard, Co-Author of Stranded.
Double Header knocks it outof the park. The characters became instant friends and caught me wanting toresolve their predicament. Life in Boston appeared before me like a manicureddiamond where suspects and clues made me want to peek at the playbook. No bloodor bodies. Honest relationships, real dialogue, and vivid color attend thismystery of the heart. I'll take more Clarice Gregoire James any day. ~ SandraLovelace, Co-Author of Children in Church:Nurturing Hearts in Worship

If the answer is yes to any of these questions,read Double Header and you will endup smiling." ~ Sherri Gallagher, Author of DangerousTurn Ahead
"With the crack of a bat, everything canchange in an instant. For some in life, it's a foul ball. For others it's ahome run. Join the characters of DoubleHeader to learn what a home run is really all about. Double Header is sketched with excellent character development, anddialogue, that will make you feel like you're sitting on the sidelines watchingthis story unfold." ~ Stacey Thureen,Writer, Speaker, and Patient Advocate
"Clariceis a gifted writer. The characters she dreams up are so real you wonder if theyare people from her own life, or whether you'll run into them at the mall oryour next trip to a Red Sox game. The plot of the book moved along at a goodpace, keeping me engaged and interested until the very end." ~ Jeremiah Peters, Author of A Message to Deliver

Great Inner Story
By Amazon Customer
I enjoyed reading this book because the inner story snuck up on me. The detailed sports references drew me in and made me double-check these weren't real players and real games. The playful banter between the main characters reminded me of my own family. When the central conflict of the story was revealed, I wasn't prepared for the profound impact it would have on the main character. I could imagine my own family providing a similar variety of responses, yet I still understood the MC's hesitance. She simply hadn't grown enough to face it. This inner conflict made her feel real. Things I liked about it: - Unique perspective: sports-centric story, but from the point of view of an intelligent female lead - Variety of male characters and their interactions/reactions to the MC- By the time you get to the end, you realize the "answer" isn't as important as the journey The story did feel a bit thin to me until the main conflict was revealed, but there was still plenty of atmosphere (in the form of background and banter) to keep me interested. The way you tied up the loose ends was creative and entertaining. I imagine this would be a good book for men or women. Men, because the sports details would keep them interested as they see the inner conflict of the female lead. And women, because it presents a strong female lead in a stereotypically male arena, who holds her own without losing her femininity.

Home Run!
By Jessica Baker
Don’t let the picture fool you, this is not just a book about baseball! This is a story about forgiveness, life choices, marriage, self discovery, and yes, baseball. It also has a glimpse of betrayal, and probably not the way you would think. Double Header is the first published novel by Clarice G. James, and I think she’s written a beautiful story.
Casey Gallagher is a woman who has idolized her father her entire life. So much in fact that she has a “shrine” in her home in honor of her father. I could only imagine how this made her husband Sam feel. While Sam was in the same line of work – police – he could never live up to her father throughout their marriage. Now, do not get the wrong impression, they do not have a bad marriage. But you get glimpses of how Sam must feel like second best to Casey, especially since her father passed away a few years ago.
Imagine idolizing someone like this, and then learning a terrible secret about them. Your whole world comes crashing down. Casey receives a note, and so I do not spoil the surprise, has learned something horrible about her father’s past. At first, you see her wrestle with denial versus truth. How could someone so perfect have done this to her and her family? I enjoyed watching Casey go through so many different emotions, including deciding whether or not she should tell her mother and brother.
Did I mention this book is about baseball too? Casey and her brother, in addition to their regular careers, write a successful sports column together. When Casey’s brother and wife are starting a family, the sports column may have to take a bake seat. This forces Casey to look at her own life, marriage, career, and determine what she wants out of the world. I could certainly empathize with Casey during this situation and can see a little bit of myself in her. I have a job that I love, however it may not be my dream. I find myself toying with thoughts of leaving to pursue my dream, but practicality hits me in the face and I find myself staying status quo. It was such an inspiration to watch Casey come to her decision, and learn to lean on her husband, as well as listen to his ideas. I think Casey struggles with being in control, and when it escaped her we saw this new side of her open up that I think readers will enjoy.
This book has a little something for everyone, as I mentioned before. I encourage you to try this first novel by Clarice. I am anxious to see what comes next for Clarice in her writing journey!

Double Header Hits It Out of the Park!
Posted on December 15, 2015 by Deb Haggerty
Deb’s Dozen: Baseball, Sibling Rivalry, Snappy Repartee, Mystery–Double Header Hits a Home Run!
Double Header by Clarice G. James is a most delightful debut novel that will be enjoyed by both guys and gals. Siblings Casey Gallagher and Griffin McGee write a sports column titled “Double Header” noted for their bickering back and forth as well as snappy repartee. Casey also works for a marketing company, and her husband, Sam, is a police officer. Griffin, a school teacher and coach, is married to Jillian, who is expecting their first child.
Off to their traditional stint at spring training watching the Boston Red Sox, Casey and Griffin are entranced by the pitcher-catcher team from South Boston, Mike Hennessey and Darin Flynn, dubbed by our trio, The Irish Twins. After the first day’s workout, the duo heads to a golf course to play nine holes. Griffin comes back with a tee time to Casey’s amazement and …with the Irish Twins themselves.
Back at work at both their day jobs and their columns, Casey receives a letter that spins her world worse than a close pitch. What should she do? The letter’s contents concern her family—how does she determine the truth—and does she tell them?
As Casey is working her way through the dilemma, she and Sam must come to grips with Casey’s unhealthy mourning of her dad’s death as well as the current state of their marriage and goals. Griffin and Jillian have the whole morning sickness what are we going to do now do we want to know the sex of the baby thing going on. On top of their day jobs and personal lives, their agent, Roberta, is nagging them about the future of “Double Header” … are they going to expand, do more TV and radio, write those sports biographies … or are they going to just keep schlepping along.
You’ll absolutely love Casey Gallaher—the story is told from her point of view—and her wacky wit. I giggled and laughed out loud several times while reading. And Griffin is a typical younger brother. The Irish Twins are a delight as are Casey’s husband, Sam, and his protégé, Tommy Colletti. If you happen to be a Bosox fan and know the area, you’ll love all the local references. If not, you’ll still love the story, the mystery, and the repartee. Clarice James has knocked it out of the park with Double Header—five stars! Buy it now!
