I have spent 5 years writing various stories - some deep and mysterious science fiction, some dark and grim thrillers, and also some fantasy and horror.

Into The Team is very different though. I decided, after spending years on serious and, sometimes negative, storytelling, to write an uplifting novel of a young footballer achieving his dream.

Todd, the main character, has great drive and focus on his one love in life - football (soccer). His determination leads him to his dream of playing for a major English club. However, he must learn to fit in with his new team, even if that means bonding with them in ways he feels are a little too intimate.

I really enjoyed writing this story, and I think Todd is the most lovable character I have created.

I hope readers will see a positive energy in Todd that transcends the pages and lifts their spirits.

Thank you
