I write fiction under two pen names, and I’ve been a self-employed WordPress developer for well over ten years.

In 2019, I started GoCreate.me as a platform where I offer custom websites for authors.

Before that, I had various careers, including two years overseas, teaching English as a second language. The two years prior to that were spent teaching various subjects at a naval engineering school. Based on the feedback I got, I’m pretty good at simplifying complex things and providing clear instructions. I’ll let you be the judge of that.

If you attend writers’ conferences, you may have met me (most likely while hanging out at the bar). I’m in my early forties, I have long, curly brown hair, and I speak with a faint French-Canadian accent.

This course requires that you OVERWRITE your WordPress site when you install the theme files and plugins that are included, so it's perfect for those who don't have an author website yet.

If you already have a website, the "Migrate/Import Module" (included in the course) will show how to export your current content and re-import it AFTER you install the theme files included in the course.

The theme REQUIRES a premium plugin that cannot be included or resold as part of the course for legal reasons, but you can hire me (as a paid add-on service) to help you migrate your current site with the premium files included as part of this course. When you do so, you become my client, and I can then legally use my own plugin license on your website (saving you the purchase and renewal fee of the Elementor Pro plugin.

You can purchase the add-on service anytime, but that premium plugin is required to install the theme and get started. As such, most authors will want it right after purchasing the course.
