Christmas has come early. Feeling euphoria having signed on to be represented by Steve Evans at Eve White Literary Agency.

My ride or die wrote this story about a slightly mad lad going on an unorthodox quest for basketball glory and redemption in Argentina. It's in @irishexaminer.bsky.social which is pretty rad. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll change your life. Proud of the one and only 🖤 @gary-grace.bsky.social
