In honor of Going for Two’s release, I’m sharing some fun facts about the book
and Queen of the League series.
Though I’ve mentioned some
football teams by name—the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Green Bay Packers—in the
Queen of the League series, I wanted to shy away from focusing on any real
players or real teams for specifics. Knowing how big of a part Brook’s high
school team would play, I created a fake one: the Lincoln West Warriors. Even
though all of the people associated with the school and team are completely
fictional, I did throw in a few details from my own high school: the Millard
West Wildcats. Both of our schools have green and black as our colors—though
our other accent was gold while the Warriors are silver. Like a lot of the
little things in these books, it’s a small tribute to my past.
I hope you will check out the
other facts—view a complete listing of locations and dates on my website, www.laurachapmanbooks.com—and the
series.
Thank you, Kathleen, for
featuring Going for Two—and me—today.
Enjoy!
About the Book
Harper Duquaine is back for
another season of fantasy football! This time she’s a year wiser and prepared
to dominate the league. But while she finally seems to have her fantasy life in
order, reality proves more challenging.
Her plans to peacefully play
house with her boyfriend come to a halt when the high school suddenly names
Brook its head football coach. The promotion comes with more responsibility on
the field and less time at home. It also unexpectedly means more work for
Harper, who already has her hands full helping a friend pull off the perfect
proposal (while dodging questions about when she and Brook are going to get
hitched already). Plus, a new development at work could leave her—and half of
the fantasy league—jobless.
With the complications of her
career and being “Mrs. Coach” adding up, Harper wonders if she’s committed to
the life she’s already building or if there is something else out there.
