Find Your Pace: How Running Changed My Life and How It Can Change Yours Too
‘This genuinely feels like having a personal running coach in the book. Emma’s way of making runners of all paces feel confident in their own race is unmatched. A must-read for amateur and experienced runners alike.’ – Candice Brathwaite
All it takes is the first step.
As a child, Emma Kirk-Odunubi loved to run, revelling in that sense of freedom and the feel of the breeze on her skin. But as she grew up, her passion for this most simple of activities waned, overtaken by all the distractions that come with adult life. It was only when faced with the loss of her beloved father that Emma returned to running, and rediscovered its joy and its power. Now a certified coach and running gait expert, in Find Your Pace Emma reveals how running saved her life, how it can help you too, and ― crucially ― how to do it in the way that works for your lifestyle.
Packed with practical, expert advice, including detailed guides and training plans for beginners, intermediate and advanced-level runners, Find Your Pace will help you run better, whatever that looks like for you. It’s not about speed or distance or competing with others: running is for everyone.
Along the way, Emma dives into her many motivations for lacing up her trainers and hitting the road, trails or track ― from releasing pent-up energy and feeling at home in her body, to processing grief and carving out the time she needed to explore and accept her sexuality. She looks at running in relation to race, community and self-confidence and gives everyone the tools required to get started, get better and get even more out of going for a run.
This relatable, funny and moving book will encourage you to run back to yourself, on your own track.
‘Emma is the reason I started running! Find Your Pace blends coaching expertise with real-life experience in a way that feels supportive and genuinely realistic.’ – Dr Hazel Wallace

The Broken Signal: A fake dating hockey romance (Pine Barren University Book 6)
A steamy new college hockey romance featuring a shy gentle giant, a fierce punk rock goddess, and a fake relationship that forces them both to face everything they’ve been hiding.
HIS WEAKNESS
Ben Kellerman is the PBU Devils’ gentle giant—a formidable defenseman on the ice who becomes a stammering disaster the moment a pretty girl looks his way. Past humiliations taught him his “jock” self is a coward and his “nerd” self is pathetic. He’s convinced he’ll never be enough for anyone.
So when a gorgeous punk singer propositions him in a bar, his first instinct is to run. His second is to wonder if this is the universe finally throwing him a lifeline.
HER ARMOR
Cassidy “Cass” Vance is the snarling frontwoman of campus punk band Pinebox—all ripped fishnets, combat boots, and weaponized attitude. But her fierce persona is armor against a world that taught her men only want the fantasy, never the real woman underneath.
Now, with aggressive fans crossing lines, she needs a human shield. Someone big enough to intimidate, sweet enough to control, and clueless enough to never see through her walls.
Ben Kellerman fits the bill perfectly. Or so she thinks.
THEIR UNSCRIPTED CHEMISTRY
The rules are simple: he plays the protective boyfriend, she fakes being his girlfriend to get the hockey guys off his back, and absolutely nobody catches feelings. But between stolen glances at dive bar gigs and unexpectedly tender moments, their fake relationship starts writing its own script.
The guy who fixes broken things is falling for the girl convinced she’s beyond repair. And the woman who always strikes first is terrified of what happens when she finally lets someone stay.
Key details:
- Fake dating (what could possibly go wrong?)
- She falls first (but he falls harder)
- Opposites attract (the stammering sweetheart and the punk rock queen)
- Touch her and die (he’s shy until someone threatens his girl)
- Sixth in series (but read as standalone!)
- Steamy ‘open door’ spice level
- Happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers.
