  • Byron-Laursen-Ghostwriter-Showtime with Pat Riley

    Showtime: Inside the Lakers' Breakthrough Season

    By Pat Riley

    My interviewing and writing skills are built on years of journalism for Rolling Stone, the LA Times, California Business, and others. When Show Time, my first book project, came along Riley opened his personal diaries and innermost thoughts. I got into the team’s rhythms, and put readers in the middle of the excitement as if they were season ticket holders. His voice on the page rang true to his family, friends and a city filled with fans. The result? Compelling storytelling and several weeks as a NYT best seller.
