James Hewlett was born and raised on the idyllic Channel Island of Jersey. Surrounded by the sea and lush, green fields, his passion was sports: playing, watching, reading and dreaming of being a famous sports star - a famous footballer like his boyhood hero ‘Roy of the Rovers’. Father to Harvey and Robyn he began sports writing on 2008 for local papers, magazines and the Jersey Reds Rugby Club, where he still volunteers both as a junior coach and part of the media team. Looking for a sports book for his son to inspire him to chase his dreams, and following a unsuccessful search created a series of characters who will guide the next generation of children through hardships, trials and tribulations. ‘Breakthrough’ is his first book in a series of fast-paced, feel-good football action-adventure stories, telling the career of local boy Jack Harvey, and the Accies - his boyhood team.
