In her debut memoir From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete (August 2022, Meyer & Meyer Sport), Hilary JM Topper documents her journey of becoming an endurance athlete in her 40s and beyond while also surviving daily life obstacles: operating her own small business and working 60+ hours per week, mothering two children, caregiving for aging parents, responding to deaths of family members and friends, juggling COVID-19 complications, and more.

WE RIDE UPON STICKS (Vintage, 2020), a novel about a women's varsity field hockey team, popped up on just about every search I conducted on "women's sports fiction." So, it was a must-read. I'm delighted that it lived up to the literary hype.

WHEELER (2016), book 1 of the Wheeler Series, caught our attention because its protagonist is a competitive sportswoman and the author, Sara Butler Zalesky, is an independent author and amateur cyclist. In these aspects, it closely matches the type of book and author that Sport Stories hopes to publish, share, and promote.
