Sidelined by injury, wide receiver Jake Dublin turned to sports writing for fun and profit. His wildly popular blog – where he waxes athletic on subjects ranging from the pistol offense to the latest NFL expansion teams – also details his personal life. And lately, it’s all about the pretty young woman who just moved into his apartment building. His readers know her as the “Elevator Girl,” and they’re all rooting for Jake to score.
It’s all in good fun, and he fully intends on coming clean with his new girlfriend. That is, until she confides how she grew up in a houseful of jocks, and even dated a few. Her verdict? Never again.
Jake knows he needs to confess. But somewhere along the line, he fell in love with Sophie, and can’t stand the thought of losing her. So he procrastinates, and blogs, and digs the hole deeper, until a showdown so nail-biting, not even the best play-by-play guy could ever have seen it coming.
It's football season! As I've mentioned, I'm a Niners fan, and in the last few years I started reading tons of sports blogs and kinda fell in love with the goofy guys who write them. They're very basic, totally obsessed, and for the most part, they seem like nice guys. So I decided to try writing a love story from the point of view of a sports blogger (complete with blog posts and comments). Next thing I knew, I had PLAY BY PLAY. It's the start of a series, but the rest of the books will be full length and won't be in blogging format.
I dedicated the book to sportswriters because of their inspiration. Go Niners!!
