Spoiler alert: “Jake Maddox” is not a real person. Writers are hired for each book in the series, which is united by a single name–Jake Maddox–for branding. I was hired to write Volleyball Ace for the JV Girls series, which released August 1, 2020. My name and bio are inside the book, so the writer does get credit, but the rights remain with the publisher since it was a work-for-hire project. The conflict–balancing grades and academics–is something I wrote about as an education reporter years ago and remains relevant for young student-athletes today. I hope readers enjoy Volleyball Ace!
