He knows his time is running out and he will have to face his future soon.Sylvia Kinder is obsessed with Matthias' public image. But now that her fantasy has walked into her life, could it possibly lead to a happy ending? She worries if there's any place for her in his world, much less his heart.
Drawn to each other on a chance meeting, Matthias must look off the court and discover the real world, while Sylvia will have to find the strength of self to not become lost in a world she doesn’t understand.

DeleteHey Michel,
ReplyDeleteI read the excerpt and look forward to reading the whole book. You asked on your facebook page about athlete crushes and I responded with Michael Phelps. Now that I understand the context of the question better, I feel like a cradle-snatcher! Oops.....
I hope you have fun reading it and it's okay you have every right to like Michael Phelps. I like Derek Rose and my son thinks it weird because he's in his early 20s.
DeleteHappy release! Do you have a favorite sport?

I have favorites, Football (American), Basketball, Volleyball, Track, and Gymnastics. I'm a bit of sports nut.
DeleteHi Michel, it's always exciting for me to find new to me authors.
ReplyDeleteGiven your love for sports, did you have trouble deciding upon the sport your characters would play?

Mary, I'm glad you stopped by. Actually no, I feel that the sport and position a person plays dictates their personality. You take Matthias who plays the 4 position in basketball. It's kind of an in between position. Its a power forward. Unlike the 5 which all about muscle and driving to the hole, the 4 is more graceful and has the ability to shoot from the elbow or edge of the court, but also have the ability to drive to the basket as well as work a high/low with another player.
DeleteThat was probably more than you wanted to know, but with my athletes there is a reason they have the position they do. My other SCP book The Guardian's Heart there are four girls with different positions on a softball team and once you get to know them you can understand why they play where they play.
