I am a long-time fan of coming-of-age sports stories. My journey into the genre was heavily influenced by Greg Younger’s Stupid Boy series, which ultimately led me to discover Cold Creek’s Defenseman stories. When Defenseman Book 3 ended prematurely and no new updates appeared for nearly a decade, I decided to try my hand at continuing and completing the series myself.
