About the Author
Michael Bronte
Michael Bronte is a graduate of Union College in Schenectady, New York, and George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and lives with his wife in New Jersey. “All of the heroes in my novels are everyday people,” says Bronte. “Any of them could by your next door neighbor. None of us really know what we’re capable of until the time comes for us to reach beyond the boundaries of our everyday lives. Remarkable feats of courage are performed all around us. It’s amazing.”
As a young teenager I remember reading paperback mysteries under a huge oak tree outside my parents’ neighborhood grocery store in Dalton, Massachusetts, a small town located in the heart of the Berkshires. I can recall pulling a book from the rack and getting locked in to those novels as the fragrant summer breeze of Berkshire County tried to turn the page before I was done reading it. I don’t know why, but I was greatly affected by a book titled The Fan Club, by Irving Wallace. When I was done reading it, I can still recall thinking that someday I’d be able to write a book like that on my own; I knew I could do it.

“Wildcats pulled me in immediately. What starts as a story about competition quickly becomes something deeper — about identity, loyalty, and the pressure to prove yourself. The characters felt incredibly real, and I could sense the tension building in every interaction. It stayed with me long after I finished.”
“I expected an intense story about sport, but what I found was a layered exploration of pride, friendship, and internal conflict. The emotional undercurrent throughout the book is powerful without ever feeling forced. It’s thoughtful, grounded, and surprisingly reflective.”
“What stood out to me most was how human the characters felt. They’re ambitious and flawed, loyal yet conflicted. Wildcats captures the subtle shifts in relationships that happen under pressure in a way that feels authentic. I found myself thinking about my own friendships while reading.”
