Seth McLane is the author of GOOSH (Available now on Amazon): After his mom’s cancer diagnosis, 13-year-old Isaac escapes to the Shelly Park basketball court and bonds with a disgraced NBA legend, eager to see if the game that tore him down can give him back what he lost.

Seth lives in York, Pennsylvania with his wife, teenage kids, and golden retriever, Clark. As a teacher, he has spent two decades hanging with middle schoolers—putting books in their hands, giving them notebooks to fill up, and subjecting them to his corny jokes.
