How did you choose your novel? It’s a question I’ve been asked time and time again. The better question to ask is; why did this idea remain with me?

It was quite a surreal feeling to hit ‘save’ for the final time on my first draft. I did so in the quiet of my kitchen with no one else at home. My coffee was sat alongside me and my dog was sleeping on the sofa.

Momentum is a funny concept. 

It’s an intangible that I’ve heard thrown around at will throughout my sporting career. To many, it’s a cop out. It’s often an unexplainable phenomenon that can swing moments, matches, tournaments or seasons into a frenzied cyclone of disarray.
