Jake Maddox
Jake Maddox combined his love for writing with his
interest in all kinds of sports when he became an author.
It’s a combination that works because he has written
more than 80 books! Some are about team sports, while
others feature adventures in nature. Whatever the
activity, his stories revolve around teamwork and
characters who strive to be the best that they can be.

He hopes that his readers will see themselves in his
characters and do the same.
