K is for Kissing

My A-Z Theme is based on my books, the Game On series. You won’t need to have read them to follow this story, since it’s slightly removed from the full plot, like a side story. What it will do is give you a glimpse into my characters, and a chance to get to know them a little bit, PLUS, during the story, you will get a mini tour of parts of the UK! The posts will come from two of my main characters, Leah Walker and Radleigh McCoy. If this is your first time here, please start at the letter A. :D

 K - Kissing 
(Leah) 

The rain cut our day in St. Ives short. If I’m totally honest, I was cool with us getting the things we needed from the supermarket, then holing ourselves back up in our temporary home. We had plenty of time for looking around, and four hours with our clothes on seemed like too long.

We dumped our shopping bags in the kitchen, then flung ourselves on one of the sofas in the living room, joined at the lips.

I’d had some good kisses in my time, but Radleigh blew them all out of the water. His lips caught my attention around thirty seconds after I first met him. Hard to miss them when they curve into the perfect devilish grin. They’re full and soft, and boy, does he know how to use them. They had the power to turn me – a 26-year-old – into a fifteen-year-old who forgot everything the moment he kissed me. A herd of elephants could have stampeded through the room, and I wouldn’t have let go of Radleigh, not even to question where they came from.

Sorry again for the short post - I have a crazy day today, but I'll catch up on what I missed later!

As promised - one giveaway for you. I'm offering ten - yes ten - eCopies of Game On, and this giveaway will run until the end of the A-Z Challenge! There is only one mandatory entry, and that's to leave a blog comment. If you're here, I'm assuming you planned to do that anyway LOL! SO... get commenting! :D a Rafflecopter giveaway

  4. Four hours with clothes on? It sounds like they practiced a great amount of self-restraint!

  9. This totally made me laugh: and four hours with our clothes on seemed like too long.

    I like that last paragraph. So much in writing is showing and not telling. And basically I could sum that whole paragraph up into, "he's a good kisser."

    But you did an awesome job of showing us that instead of the boring, he's a good kisser. This is a terrific example of what you should do.

  11. Kissing is a popular theme for K. ;)

    I love reading kissing scenes where the characters push each other onto a couch, bed, or into a wall. Radleigh does sound like a great kisser, too.

  12. Great mix of humor and passion and even a bit of backstory is such a short scene.

    Hope you’re having fun with the A to Z challenge,

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
