About Jim Dent

Jim Dent is a sports writer who has written more than nine bestselling novels in his career. Dent grew up in Arkansas and perhaps his love for sports comes from the fact that he played high school football during his time living in Little Rock. He was a decent player playing fullback but he could not make it into the big leagues given his 5 11’ 198-pound frame and a bad knee that made it impossible for him to continue playing. As such, when he arrived at Southern Methodist University, he decided to pursue sports writing since he could not play. He proved to be quite the asset to “The Daily Campus” – the school’s student newspaper and had quite a reputation for getting some big scoops. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books series, Jim Dent has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
