I always know who to turn to when I want a fun, relatable, sports romance: Miranda Kenneally. She can do no wrong. The Hundred Oaks series is full of delicious, wonderful, sporty books. All crazy fun! Defending Taylor was no different. I loved all the […]
DO NOT LOOK AT THIS COVER AND RUN AWAY. You might disagree (different strokes for different folks), but I think it looks like a cheesy, soap opera historical romance. Had I come across this book on my own, I can tell you with 100% certainty […]
The Ultimate Book Blogger plugin recently passed 1,000 sales. And I’m floored. I never thought I’d get to this point. When I first built the Ultimate Book Blogger plugin I was in college and doing this for fun. I expected to maaaybe earn $500. At […]

This is a PHP coding tutorial. I’ve done my best to make the guide as easy to follow as possible, but I still recommend that you be fairly comfortable with code (or at least FTP) before attempting this. The Ultimate Book Blogger plugin already has […]
I actually first read The Winner’s Curse two years ago (you can read my full review if you want) and never continued the rest of the series. It’s not that I didn’t want to, I just didn’t have a huge urge to and it seemed […]
In 2014 I released my first ever e-course on how to code your own WordPress theme from scratch. The course did really well and got some fabulous reviews: “Highly recommended to any aspiring designer or web-developer.” “Well worth the money. Highly recommend.” “I’ve taken several […]
