• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In a forgotten corner of the city, where the chain nets echo louder than the crowd, Elias "Eli" Vance plays with everything he's got - because it's all he has. He isn't polished. He isn't privileged. But he's electric.

High School: The Spark charts the early rise of a basketball phenom who doesn't just play the game - he feels it in his bones. With a fractured home life, limited resources, and a storm of pressure mounting, Eli finds his sanctuary on the hardwood. But even raw talent isn't enough. He must learn to trust teammates, balance schoolwork, and confront the rival who seems to have everything he doesn't.

As the spotlight intensifies, so does the game - and Eli's understanding of what it really means to lead. Through sacrifice, sweat, and a state title chase that turns skeptics into believers, The Spark tells the origin story of a legend before the bright lights - when it was still about the pure love of the game.

Autorenporträt

Gregory Parrott is more than a writer; he embodies the very stories he's always yearned to read. Since his restless teenage years, he has crafted worlds where futuristic starships meet World War II battlefields, and ancient dragons exist alongside modern drones. By blending science fiction, historical fiction, thrillers, military sagas, and fantasy, he provides readers a captivating escape through time, space, and the complexities of the human experience.

Living in New England, Gregory's vibrant life in Massachusetts deeply influences his narratives. Growing up with rolling hills and rich history has shaped his creative sensibilities. Now, he balances his writing with family life, cheering for his kids at sporting events or brainstorming bedtime stories over a cluttered kitchen table filled with sketches of alien landscapes and battle maps.

Outside, Gregory finds solace in the rhythm of the water. Twice a week, he joins a veterans' crew in a dragon boat on the Connecticut River. This disciplined teamwork enhances the realism of his action scenes. After paddling, he retreats to his gaming den, diving into RPGs and tactical shooters, treating these sessions as studies in pacing, character motivation, and world-building.

Running also grounds him, especially in the vivid New England autumn. Every run clarifies his thoughts, with plot ideas emerging as his feet strike the pavement, creating a mental ledger of dialogue snippets, settings, and plot twists.

Discipline and imagination fuel Gregory's storytelling. His early fantasies, scribbled during math class, echo the same passion that drives his current work. Years spent with veteran military strategists have refined his craft, marrying meticulous research with boundless creativity. Each chapter invites readers to explore universes where rogue AIs lead rebellions, medieval knights find portals to the future, and ordinary people become extraordinary heroes in war.

His narratives resonate with the stories we all wish to hear, validating hidden dreams. With the precision of a seasoned tactician and the wonder of a child, Gregory offers a literary passport, transporting readers to extraordinary realms while reminding them that the magic of storytelling lies in the heart of the storyteller.
