Watch out for aliens! Portstewart author's first children's book to be released this month

A Portstewart author will publish his first children’s book this month – and is celebrating by making it free for four days!

The e-book version of Erwan Atcheson’s ‘Aliens Versus Football’ will be free to purchase on Amazon from January 9-12, 2025.

"Aliens Versus Football is about a young girl, Laura McLoughlin, who gets whisked to another world to help a team of hapless monsters win a football championship,” said Erwan.

"The problem is she doesn’t play football. She doesn’t even like football. But if she doesn’t help them win, she can’t get home.!

"I had a lot of fun writing it. It stars a large cast of centaurs, robots, werewolves, wizards, Barbarians and (last but not least) aliens. It’s got wild humour in it, and a very exciting story, which should appeal to children and adults alike.”

This is Erwan’s second published novel; he also completed an adult’s science fiction/satire novel, Shorter Than the Day, published in March last year.
