Hookers and Hangers - Has Anyone Seen A Hooker?

Just wanna say, this is the absolute best title for a blog hop EVER!

The Hookers and Hangers bloghop is being hosted by the lovely ladies from Falling For Fiction! It's all about gripping your readers with excellent opening lines, and leaving them begging for more with amazing cliffhangers.

We begin with the hookers, and I am going to be using some of the openers from my latest WIP, the follow up to Game On. :D
 

Hooker One: Rain hammered against the window, jolting me awake.

Hooker Two: “One more try, I’ll do it this time, I swear!”

Hooker Three: Lunch at the Mills’ house was … a little weird to say the least. 

Hooker Four: “What the hell is she doing here?”

Hooker Five: Why are there lights on during the day? It is daytime, right? I always turn the lights off before I go to sleep, so why are they on? Wait. Where am I? 

Hooker Six:  It had been three hours since I’d seen Leon, and I was still thinking about what he said. 

**

Okay, that's all, now I'm off to hop around to visit the other participants! :D  

P.S I'm really not sure why the words came out all different sizes up there, sorry about that!

  3. You have a really good voice. Very consistent. You can't beat a line that simply saids "What the hell is she doing here?" to produce some conflict. I am intrigued. Can't wait to read your hangers.

  4. Haha. I was wondering if you had done that one purpose, with the different sizes. :) It looks cool, so well done. ;)

    Have I said how excited I am for Game On?? I am SUPER excited. Love me some soccer.

    These lines are great. I'm liking four :)

IWSG: Performance anxiety

Welcome to the August edition of IWSG, hosted by the amazing Alex J.Cavanaugh ! So, as most of you know by now - because I haven't shut up about it LOL - my first novel, Game On, has been released. The blog tour officially starts next week (YAY!) but I find myself becoming increasingly nervous. A blog tour not only highlights my book, but me. What if people don't like me? What if my guest posts suck, and everyone thinks I'm boring? If I can't engage people in 300 words on a blog, they probably aren't going to pick up my book. And then there's the "what happens next" question. I plan to make Game On into a series, which feels a bit arrogant of me. I don't know how many people are going to like the first book, should I really be planning to keep the series going? So far, Game On has actually been incredibly well received. I've had great reviews, so maybe I shouldn't worry about people not liking it, but what if Book Two isn't as goo

Dust It Off Bloghop!

Welcome to day one of the Dust It Off Bloghop, hosted by Theresa Paolo and Cortney Pearson ! This hop is all about the WIPs you wrote, and then shelved! Okay, so I am teaming up with Clare Dugmore for this one, because back in 2006 - yup, we've known each other THAT long lol! - we started to write a book together. Unfortunately, other commitments got in the way and we never finished it - but even so many years on - it's still something we remember fondly, so we're going to dust it off for you! The first day, May 3rd: We want you to post a 1-2 sentence pitch (Great way to practice pitches) about the shelved WIP. Here is the pitch Clare and I came up with: For best friends Caitlin and Tori, their first acting job out of Uni opens up a whole new world for them – unfortunately, it wasn’t the world they were expecting. When the strains of adult life and tangled relationships threaten to ruin their friendship, they are forced to take a look at what’s really importan
