American Soccer Dream In E-book Distribution Now On Kindle And Nook

Online, August 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Fiction author Ken Jones has announced the release of his new book, "American Soccer Dream" in e-book distribution now on Kindle (Amazon) and Nook (Barnes & Noble).

The Kindle version of American Soccer Dream is Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) B005FU4ATC. The Barnes & Noble BN ID is 2940013634664.

An American Soccer Dream starts in June of 2010 and, for the next four years, walks through the process of retooling the United States National Soccer Program. Not unlike the challenges faced by new USA Manager Jurgen Klinsmann, the novel suggests ways to use many resources -- previously untapped talent pools, an array of underutilized ethnic soccer clubs, the power of technology and one of the best sports marketers - via the efforts of two likelong friends - who end up working tirelessly to implement their vision.

The entertaining novel, An American Soccer Dream, chronicles the US Men's National Soccer Team's exploits, traveling the streets of America and beyond, detailing efforts to raise an organization to new heights, and winding their way throughout North and Central America before the team's journey ultimately concludes at the World Cup Finals in Brazil in the June of 2014. But as the players and coaches travel this road together -- something even more special is sparked -- a spirit and kinship of family which brings together this set of diverse human beings.

Last but not least, plans are in the works to release American Soccer Dream on additional electonic book marketplaces such as the iBookstore and Sony Reader portals.

About the author: Ken works in the software industry and is a devotee of soccer, hockey and soccer. He is married to Mila Jones. Ken and Mila are blessed with a terrific son Matthew. The family resides in Central New Jersey.

American Soccer Dream is a work of fiction, a novel about the U.S. Soccer Dream achieving great success on the world stage in 2014.

But it not simply fiction. The work is based on some core beliefs, beliefs which are not inconsistent with the new perspective of the recently appointed U.S. Manager Jurgen Klinsmann as expressed in his introductory news conference. The opinion that great talents can be found in ethnic and urban areas, that we need to look beyond traditional pipeline areas for talent, that player development need not only be from structured play, that the U.S. needs to develop a style where we possess the ball more and that we cultivate more technical abilty in our players, are all common themes of the novel. And now, thankfully, they also are some of the states new core values of the United States Soccer Program and Mr. Klinsmann.
