Book excerpt: The Times Sports Books of the Year 'Cracking read . . . loved it' – Piers Morgan 'Packed with brilliant anecdotes about the biggest names' – The Mirror With a foreward from Alan Shearer. There are just a handful of people who have been ever-present for the thirty years of the Premier League, but only one person has been at the very epicentre for the entire period: Geoff Shreeves. From signalling the very first ball to be kicked on Sky’s Premier League coverage to facing down Sir Alex Ferguson’s wrath (on countless occasions), Geoff is an integral part of the football fabric, respected by everybody in the game while still asking the toughest questions. Geoff’s interviews with Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsène Wenger, Frank Lampard and Alan Shearer have become the stuff of legend, but it is his close personal relationships with the game’s star names that really sets him apart. Packed full of hilarious stories on and off the pitch – including trying to teach Sir Michael Caine how to act, a frightening encounter with Mike Tyson, as well as getting a lift home from the World Cup with Mick Jagger – Cheers, Geoff! is a must-read autobiography for any fan of the beautiful game. A natural storyteller, Geoff brings an astonishing catalogue of tales to life with his unique brand of experience, insight and humour.

Book excerpt: In search of the proverbial good time, Chemistry Matters is a contemporary novel about two charismatic brothas who couldn't share more of a bond if they were actually brothers. Anton "MAJAC" Charles is a straight-shooting, Naval submarine officer whose only Achilles heel is wearing his heart on his sleeve. A hopeless romantic, Anton tries to free himself of the lonely life of a bachelor by diving head-first into courting the undeniably sexy Celeste. Jared "Jaz" Stevenson is a smooth-talking baritone, who was content leaving trails of broken hearts behind on his way to the NBA; that was, until he met a hot, spicy little thing from the Mi-sippi bayou who made him stand up and take notice. These lifelong best friends remained thick as thieves although distanced for several years. When reunited in San Diego, they find themselves intermingling with the sexes and entwined in a web of turbulent relationships. Heart-pumping sensuality and tantalizing dialogue provide an intricate elixir of machismo and naiveté to this emotional rollercoaster of a novel that really makes readers wonder how good real chemistry could be. Although love is a road worth traveling, MAJAC and Jaz must endure trials, tribulations, and love beautiful women while struggling to find out if ... Chemistry Matters.
