Today is release day for my latest contemporary hockey book Against the Odds in the Games We Play – Season 2 series. (Yeah, I seem to be writing a lot of contemporary, but I promise, super secret werewolves book coming soon.)
I had great fun, not least because this book is set in Canada – complete with Canadian spellings and maple syrup.
Against the Odds is currently on Amazon and in KU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FKZK99HR

* hockey romance
* opposites attract
* raising a younger brother
* past loss
* hot-tempered goalie
* toxic family member
* a smidge of drama
All the books in this series take place in the same hockey season, but are written to stand alone.
Loved the book. In the intro material, were you serious when you said the major ebook vendor will take down books for spelling mistakes?? I wouldn’t be mentioning this otherwise, but I actually DID run across a spelling mistake in the book: You have “ariel,” but the correct spelling is “aerial.”
Hi Jen, so pleased you liked Callum and Zeke (and thanks for the typo pickup – I’m keeping a list – this is number 3 – for the next time I revise and reformat. I’m always happy to hear about them privately.)
Amazon doesn’t take down books just for having spelling mistakes, BUT they have a mechanism by which readers can report “quality issues” directly to them. Some people have used that to report spelling mistakes (perhaps sometimes thinking they were being helpful), and if that happens, AZ may unpublish the book until you “correct” the mistake or convince them it is intentional. I have known authors whose books were held up by reader reports of things that were dialect, jokes, correct, or minor spelling errors. So reporting spelling errors directly to AZ, instead of privately to the author, can make big problems for the book and author to fix. (With the Canadian spellings, this book was at risk for more of that unhelpful reporting – some UK authors have dealt with this.)
I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by my website. <3
