Sidelined Blog Tour PLUS Cat Anthology Details!

Hi everyone,

Today, the blog tour chugs along to Sarah Foster's place, where there will be an excerpt from Taylor from Sidelined's diary, and to Chrys Fey's blog were you will find an excerpt from Sidelined.

I hope you are all enjoying the blog tour so far!

Now, a while ago I mentioned the creation of a cat anthology, with proceeds going to Teignbridge and Totnes Cats Protection! I had enough interest in the project to go ahead with it so I'm getting it set up now with a long deadline, so you will have time to participate if you wish to!



The details:

The story MUST have a cat in it (obviously :p )

You can write a story within your usual genre - even if it's a sci-fi cat, or a paranormal cat, or a love story that has a cat in it

 You can write a poem if you prefer

The absolute maximum word count is 2500 words

All entries must be edited by the author prior to publication

You MUST write somewhere on your post that you allow permission for me to use your work in the book

You must also attach a short bio and one link to a place people can find you online

Authors retain copyright for any work submitted to the anthology, and can republish their own work elsewhere, with the understanding that all proceeds for THIS anthology will be going to Cats Protection. 
 

The deadline for your entries is September 5th 2014 - when there will be a bloghop to celebrate so you can show off your work on your blog before they go into the book AND all participants will be entered into a draw to win a $10 Amazon Gift Card! I will be closing the signs ups on Monday as they have already been up a while but if you see this later and want to be involved, drop me an email and I'll see if I can fit you in. :)

Please tell me if I have forgotten to mention anything!

    I probably won't write a cat story, but will spread the news about the anthology for you.

    I don't know if I'll get time to write a cat story, but you've given me a lot of time to do so. :) Have a great weekend.

    Definitely interested in participating, because I'm a complete cat addict and always willing to help out kitties in need. I'm currently writing a short film script where a cat plays an important part. Would that be okay too? Otherwise I can come up with something else.

      Hi Vanessa - the linky list is still open so if you want to sign up, please do!

      I wouldn't want to take your film script for this project just because it sounds like you will be wanting to sell/publish it elsewhere, but I will happily accept anything else from you!

    I signed up. I'm going to write a true story about the four kittens I saved. I actually have a post going up on the 31st of this month about them. :D

    I just have one question. My mom is a writer and is interested in participating, too, but she doesn't have a blog. Could she email you her entry instead?

    Is the list still open? I don't see any sign-up form to fill out, or a notice saying the list is closed. Also, if the list is still open, would it be okay to write a story about stuffed cats coming to life when they're alone?

It's here! WIP: The Movie!

I can't even tell you have excited I have been about this! It's early, so I have only got round to a few entries so far, but I am having a blast reading them all! Thanks to all who have participated, and of course, to my awesome co-host, Rachel ! It's time for me to introduce you to the characters from my - as yet untitled - WIP. When I first started this blog, my WIP was different, so this might confuse some of you (sorry about that!). This is Leah Walker, my MC. Technically, she is a little young, but she looks perfect! Leah is a physiotherapist for an American soccer team, but she is actually an English girl with a, let's say, colourful past. Radleigh McCoy is the ridiculously good-looking, not to mention exceptionally arrogant soccer player who challenges Leah in every way possible.  This is Freya Phillips. Freya is Leah's best friend and roommate. She works as a coach for the soccer team, and she is both very kind, and totally wild! Th...

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl...

Camp NaNo Update, and details

To begin with, I want to say thanks again to Emily for allowing me onto her blog as a blogging mentor! Being interviewed is always fun, and Emily is awesome! So, to Camp NaNo! Four days in and I'm still on track! Well, I will be when I finish today's writing. :D I mentioned a while ago that I was planning to battle boy POV, and I'm doing my best to get through it. However, it is hard, so I decided to turn my NaNo story into dual POV so it will be 50% less difficult! I'm not against cheating to get the work done. :p Just to give you a quick recap on what I'm doing for NaNo: In Game On, I have a young soccer player named Jesse Shaw, and he proved quite popular during the A-Z challenge. So, I decided he needed his own spin-off story! It's set at the end of the soccer season, when Jesse and his best friend go to London. I don't have a proper synopsis yet, but this is my guideline for now Soccer sensation Jesse Shaw literally has the world at his fee...
