Mike Maloni Photography and Mike's Books

Mike Maloni's Photography can be seen on two, websites.

https://YouPic.com/MikeMaloni

www.mikemaloni.zenfolio.com 

These sites contain beautiful pictures from the United States. We believe that the price offered the customer is competitive for the quality with many other sites in the world. We offer scenic to commercial work. We offer two sites with You Pic being a Swedish company that offers beautiful pictures offered by Mike. That site is a little more exclusive in price than. www.mikemaloni.zenfolio.com because we want to serve the middle class. 

Our mentors include Getty Images and SilverHub Media. As a photographer who took classes in Art Photography at Northeastern University, and finished up at Boston University where I was a Journalism major, a Sociology minor and a photojournalism minor. I came out of school with an idea of photographing for a stock photography house and write sports novels that would be read by people who made it their point to shop at many sites throughout the world. With my four published books on nineteen sites throughout the world, some of them are https://www.sbpra.com/MichaelJMaloni/ Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, Walmart.com, E Bay, BooksAMillion.com, ThriftBooks.com, Goodreads, The Library Thing, and Waterstones.

The novels are going to be a surprise to the young adult and family audience because they follow a tried and true, subject matter that has caught the world's attention. The four published novels have a sports background, and they rely heavily on good role models throughout the books.

The titles are.

Defenseman: A Hockey Player's Story (Mike, Michael Maloni) 

Shortstop: Where Grace and Power Collide (Mike Maloni)

Penn State Blue (Michael J. Maloni) 

Olympic Gold: The Drive for Five (Mike Maloni)

Currently, Mike has four more unpublished novels on the way, and he is currently writing two more novels mutually exclusive of each other but if I do say so myself, they aren't bad.

Every book must pass sale ability tests from each vendor in order to put them on their sites.

As a young man in high school, my disappointment was palpable when there were not any sports novels in the school library or the public library, so with "Necessity is the mother of invention," Thomas Jefferson, I began writing my own novels about sports. They had holes in them as big as Swiss cheese, but school is the place to learn and to decide on what you wanted to do for a career. By the time, I graduated, I had half of what I wanted to do for a living.

As a college freshman, I was pretty easy going about going to college. Everybody went to college, so I went away to college. Freshman year lands me at Keene State College, in Keene, NH.  Nice school, but I just couldn't get untracked because of undiagnosed mental illness. With a sort of, kind of plan, I went to Northeastern University. I took a couple of photography courses and thought 'Hey, this is good.' But my mental illness was really taking hold. 

After coming home, I worked for a company my father worked for and saw a psychiatrist, but I was misdiagnosed. He thought I had slight depression, but it turned out that I was to get a full diagnosis three and a half years later of schizoaffective disorder. Sandwiched in between, was my school, Boston University. At that school, my major was Print Journalism, minor Sociology, and a concentration in photojournalism.

With the belief that everything was like Tylenol. If you took a capsule that it would cure your headache in very little time. It is not quite that accurate with mental health medication, but it is getting better.

When the correct diagnosis came down in 1994, it wasn't until 2017 when we took a chance on experimental medication that I began to get to the point where my ability to communicate began to get appreciably better. Even after that, they had to add anti-anxiety medication to the mix. The bottom line to take a quote from one of my favorite Italians, the late coach, Jim Valvano, "Don't give up! Don't ever give up!" There is another guy I look up to. Dick Vitale, Dickie V. who is in the process of beating cancer again so he can resume his duties as basketball announcer at ESPN.

We in this country live beyond most people's expectations on most of the earth. I have benefitted from this. Hopefully, the dream and the blessing to be part of SilverHub Media and Getty Images along the blessing of being a published author will continue for me to help many people. I hope you people like my work. Thank you, and Godspeed. Mike Maloni

 

Welcome to the world of Mike Maloni Photography.

Hello, this is Mike Maloni and I have been away for a while as my focus expanded to my photography. The most important aspect of life is to dedicate yourself to a cause. Mine, happened to be photography. My company is brand new! Like the website was designed yesterday! My website can be reached by entering these URLs: https://mikemaloni.zenfolio.com and https://YouPic/MikeMaloni I hope you enjoy them! I do many kinds of photography. My favorite kind is as yet documented. Whatever the conditions, rain, sun, snow, intense heat, and freezing cold, being behind that lens is an exhilarating an experience as you get! What do you see in the average comings and goings of your day. What about the big game? Why do you want to save that one, one thousandth of a second and where are we going from there. We have lots of reasons for you to capture the past. I would like to hear from you so, you can explain to me why a picture is not just a picture. What does hold interest for you! I know what it means to me! I am the one getting snowed on. There is a certain logic to just plain conversation. for instance, I am from Massachusetts, so naturally, I like Boston sports and if it ever gets to a point where you're not having a good day. Talking Boston sports straightens you right out. Being a photographer, you dream like everybody else and if you could, what are some of the places in New England, you would like to see photographed. That's a pretty good conversation, right there. I am open to good conversation about photography. Please, stop by my websites, and once again my URLs are: https://mikemaloni.zenfolio.com https://YouPic.com/MikeMaloni Thank you and keep clicking! Mike Maloni

Penn State Blue by: Michael J. Maloni

Why Penn State Blue? Why now? Well at the beginning everything was happy in Happy Valley! Mike Maloni, the author, was very content to keep writing about a school and a football program that made their bones or did their due diligence in the classroom and on the field. Joe Paterno was a real-life hero to me, we were both of Italian Heritage and I assumed we both liked it! When the scandal hit, I was shattered, it me ten days to write again! With several glances at news shows, which were coming fast and furiously for a while and then I noticed one thing, people grow enemies on trees sometimes in college football, there were no potshots at Joe or his program, the slant was more like, "What went wrong?" My novel is not to right wrongs but to worry about healing, so I gave them a good old fashioned football novel. I wanted the kids to feel good about Penn State and let them start dreaming about what they were supposed to be dreaming about! School, girls, boys, and football. Penn State could probably broaden your horizons beyond that but for the sake of time there was Penn State Blue! I am proud of this but know when I write the perfect one, it very well could be my last. I am still a young man at 44. Thank you, Penn State! Your friend in college athletics, Mike Maloni

Defenseman: A Hockey Player's Story! By Michael Maloni

Did you ever have a dream life interrupted by a horrible disease that didn't kill you but very well could fracture your family. Steve Tommasini is the excellent hockey play from Boston University whose brother Tony begins a journey at the beginning of the book that many people in Steve's position would have left him to do it alone! Steve, and his older brother grow closer and farther apart on some issues as they go through the final season at BU and later in Dallas where he begins his pro career! This was my first published novel, it was my fifteenth attempt, why did it take so long! I was fighting a disease that was just a bit tricky. I have a form of mental illness called schizoaffective disease and an endocrine condition that contributes to them. It made a difference that I was taking the medicine regularly and at the correct dosage! It started a little and is a little choppy at the beginning, but it gets better. Defenseman was my favorite position at the sport I was best at! It all the elements of hockey, you could skate, shoot, pass, and hit! I didn't make the high school team because of my injured knee and the fact that my medications were a PED, but writing came along, and it changed my outlook on life, if I could just get my head fixed, maybe I could do some good in the world. Good luck to all young writers! It's not easy but boy is it fun! To all readers. Go to it! Michael Maloni

Shortstop: Where Grace and Power Collide, by: Mike Maloni

There was always baseball in my life, even if there wasn't! I was a better hockey player, but it just wasn't right in January! One day! I said... And one day came! The result: Shortstop: Where Grace and Power Collide! My story, as I had wished I could become! The novel is about a guy who is an excellent athlete! Yet, he has no confidence in himself as a student! He gets lucky and was offered a scholarship to University of Texas at Austin to play baseball! Baseball is the longest season, and it is character building and also the realization that you could be a better person because of the game! The character Frank Lido, Jr. sees that and comprehends for the first time in his life that maybe his job of playing shortstop was more than intrinsic! Lido, as his teammates call him was driven beyond words not to fail! He gets drafted by the Red Sox and gets to play for home team. This was my second novel (author, Mike Maloni), and it brought me back to the days of Yaz, Nomar, and anybody else who laced them up for the Red Sox! I had an arm made for writing. What can I tell you? If you can watch a baseball game of your favorite team, you will love this book. If you can watch two baseball games of teams you don't usually watch, you will absolutely love this book! It is on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, goodreads.com, http://sbpra.com/MichaelMaloni Batter up.

Mike Maloni's bio:

Busy people make for happier people! In addition to writing his fourth novel, which is in production, about Amateur Boxing! There could be some progress in the Getty Images and SilverHub Media internships, I am now an apprentice! The Executive training is in full swing! I am loving it, sleep deprived, walking on a sea of paperwork and photographing when I can. It's interesting, if I do say so myself! The boxing novel was inspired by my grandfather who was a Gold Gloves Boxing Champion in Western Mass in 1922! He loved baseball and boxing. The book is dedicated to my grandparents. Please enjoy and always remember that reader's win. Defenseman Shortstop: Where Grace and Power Collide! Penn State Blue!
