New Multi-Author Series – The Games We Play
by L.A. Witt
The major league players don’t get to have all the fun!
June 12th kicks off The Games We Play, a multi-author minor league hockey romance series!
I’ve participated in a number of multi-author projects over the years, and they’re always a blast. It’s fun to see the different characters and stories people write within the same theme, the same setting/universe, etc.
In late 2023, I decided I wanted to organize such a series myself, and since I apparently do write hockey romance (IYKYK), it only made sense to make it a hockey series. The end result? 10 books by 10 different authors, all within the same hockey league. (Technically 11 authors, but Ann Gallagher and L.A. Witt are both me, so they count as one) One of those 10 authors is also our cover artist – L.C. Chase did an amazing job!
For The Games We Play, each author chose a major league (NAPH) team, and from there, created a minor league (PHL) affiliate team. Stories follow characters who’ve been called up to the NAPH, sent down to the PHL, and everything in between.
As with any multi-author series, the characters run the gamut: a former rising star in a slump that gets him sent down to the minors (Love of the Game). A widowed firefighter (Just Add Ice). A couple of bi-awakenings (On Thin Ice). An MMA fighter who meets a hockey player at a TBI support group (Even Strength). A sassy equipment manager (Red Line).
Secret relationships, grumpy/sunshine, hurt/comfort – the series has it all!
