Jamie Vaught re-introducing his book filled with profiles on UK basketball personalities

fri-a-edit

Author Jamie Vaught has written five books on UK basketball.

Just before the pandemic hit a little over a year ago author Jamie Vaught released a 256-page paperback book: “Chasing the Cats: A Kentucky Basketball Journey.” Now the book is being re-introduced during March Madness at various bookstores with the impact of the pandemic decreasing.

“I don’t think this re-introduction has ever been done in our lifetime as the last pandemic was in 1918,” Vaught said.

This is Vaught’s fifth book — and first in 16 years. This book is filled with profiles of UK personalities such as Jack “Goose” Givens, Kenny Walker, Jeff Sheppard, Kevin Grevey and coach John Calipari along with ESPN analyst Dick Vitale and former LSU coach Dale Brown.

The book is available at major bookstores in Kentucky and surrounding states as well as online at AcclaimPress.com, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and other outlets.

“I can’t wait to meet the Wildcat fans again face-to-face,” Vaught, who only got to do a few book signings in 2020 before the pandemic hit, said.

It’s an easy read with each chapter/personality profile having its own story. With no NCAA Tournament for UK this year, it’s a way UK fans can relive some past heroics by the Cats.

“We are very pleased with Jamie’s book,” publisher Doug Sikes of Missouri-based Acclaim Press said. “The book already has had good reviews and you can google to find out.”
