The Most Hated Man has been bolstered by radio and media appearances by author Mark Pendergrast. Gettysburg Eddie has been helped by advance interest prior to its release in time for baseball season. The Georgia Segregated School for the Deaf was boosted by orders from academic institutions. A Short Season has been helped by the television program produced by Ben Houser on ESPN, E:60 and a tremendous response to the book by the local community. Farley's Trumpet Call has been helped by Joe's media coverage of the book in the Hazleton region. John L. Moore's books continue to sell well through bookstores in upstate Pennsylvania.
