Happy Blogiversary To Me!

Wowzers. It was a whole year ago since I wrote my first tentative post about what I hoped to get out of blogging, and what I wanted to do on my writing journey. The WIP I was working on back then is now permanently shelved. Well, actually it's been ripped into pieces and used for spare parts lol, but I always thought that one would be the first book I ever published. Now it won't be published at all - at least  not in its original form.

One year on, I've published two novels and a novella, made some amazing writing friends, entered bloghops galore, and just had a load of fun getting to know all of you guys! I thank you so much for your support, and I hope you continue to stay with me!

To celebrate my 1 year blogiversary, there is, of course, a giveaway!


a Rafflecopter giveaway P.S I am scheduling this post in advance and there is a good chance the "Follow Via GFC" option might not work LOL! Good luck guys, and thanks again for everything!

  16. Congratulations! It's very impressive that you've accomplished so much in one year. It usually takes me that long to finish one novel; I don't think I could finish two novels AND a novella. Wow!

  27. What adventures of writing you've gone through. Was it very hard and devastating when you realized the book wasn't going anywhere, or did you just move on to what you knew would work? But congratulations for getting through year 1 with such success.

    1. Thank you!

      About giving up on the book - yes, it was devastating because I did think it would be "The One." But I couldn't find a way to make it work, so I had to let it go. :(

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

If I Let You Go Cover Reveal & Bloghop Signup

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! I would like to FINALLY reveal the cover for my first novella, If I Let You Go: Title: If I Let You Go (Novella) Category : New Adult (NA) Genre : Contemporary Romance Release Date : October 22 nd 2012 Synopsis: Madison Connor is about to lose it.

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
