His second book, Jackie Robinson and the Integration of Baseball, kicked off the prestigious Wiley Turning Points series in September of 2002, and was the Barnes & Noble 'Sports Book of the Year.' Simon's first novel, Pretty Birds, about female teenaged snipers in Sarajevo, was released in May 2005 and acclaimed as 'the start of a brilliant new career.' His most recent novel, a political comedy called Windy City, was chosen by the Washington Post as one of the best novels of 2008.
