Playing the Game

Welcome to the frontispiece for

Playing the Game

Welcome to the wonderful world of Sean Porter the Soccer Kid.

I wish it was based on my own experiences, but it wasn't. We played football and baseball and hockey. Soccer was practically unheard of when I was Sean's age.

But I digress. This is a long story, broken into three books. The whole enchilada will introduce a whole bunch of interacting characters, and will generally be coded as romantic with a lot of first experiences being... um... experienced. So, after the chapter title, I will include codes as indicators. Just remember that these are young teens, so many of their encounters will be firsts for them.

BULLETIN: I have decided to break Sean's story down into Books. Book One is now complete at 30 chapters, listed below. Book Two, Playing to Win: Playing the Game II will continue the story, followed by The Competitive Edge: Playing the Game III.

New: I have added a listing of the Dramatis Personae. Click on the link to open a separate window. There are a lot of names to keep straight in this story, so this reference table should help.
