In which my characters take over my blog to share big news!

Leah: Hello everyone! Kyra's hiding today, so Freya and I are here to share some news with you!
Freya: Yes, it's true, Kyra had her first set of author photos taken yesterday and she is already freaked out about seeing her face everywhere, so she's letting us take over while she gets used to it!
Now she's had her photos taken, she is ready to show off her shiny new Goodreads Author page! If you'd like to add Game On to your reading list, or leave a review if you've already read it, that would be fab!
Although the blog tour for Game On doesn't start until August 6th, the book is OUT NOW! There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, the buy links needed to be ready for the tour, secondly, we were bugging the hell out of Kyra to get this book out already, and finally, she was too excited to wait for much longer! 
You can read our story by following these links:



and that's not all for today! *casts Freya a pouty look*
Leah, don't look at me that way, you agreed!
Don't listen to her, I was forced!
You were not! 
Well, whatever. For those of you who have already read Game On, you'll know that I have quite a thing for tacky souvenirs. I collect them from every place I travel to, but Freya thinks I have too many.
WAY too many. 
 *ignores Freya* So, she thinks it's time I gave some away. Plus, I'm generous that way! So, I have put together a small collection of tacky souvenirs from the UK and Kyra will send them to one lucky winner! All you have to do to enter is follow the Rafflecopter instructions at the bottom of the page! 
Dorky as she is, some of Leah's souvenirs are pretty funny. I think you'll like them.
*laughing* Stop telling people I'm a dork! 
Sorry, sorry. She's not a dork, just ... weird about souvenirs!
Okay, enough out of you, friend, let's get out of here before Kyra decides we aren't allowed here ever again!
*giggles* Okay, we have to go to work anyway! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Yes, hope the sun shines wherever you are!

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

I am SO freaking excited to share this with you!! Even though I only announced the cover reveal last week, it's felt like it's taken years to get to today!

With Tilly having a meltdown over the move, Madison and Dominic get into a fight that changes the entire nature of their relationship, causing Madison to ask herself a big question. Can she let him go? EEK! SO, whaddya think? :D Annnnd there's more! As I'm not doing a blog tour for this release, I still felt like I needed to

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
