Frozen in Overtime — book cover
— THE STORY —

Millbrook, Minnesota. A town built on hockey, where Friday nights are sacred and every kid dreams of one moment under the bright lights.

Cole Cooper has lived that dream since he was four. He's the captain. The leader. The one everyone counts on when the game is on the line.

But greatness comes with a price.

With scouts in the stands and a future within reach, Cole and his team chase one relentless goal — bring home a state championship for a town that lives and dies by the score.

Then comes overtime. And the buzzer.


A coming-of-age novel about who you become when the dream is over — and the life that comes after.

— THE BOOK —

A Hockey Story.
A Life Story.

The first time Cole Cooper stood on ice he was four years old and the skates were two sizes too big.

He let go of the boards. He made it four feet. He fell.

Then he laughed, rolled onto his back, and made a snow angel.

This is the book that follows him from there.
