There's a boy on my blog! Meet Sebastian from Nyrae Dawn's"What A Boy Wants"

A Sunday post? Very unusual, I know, but I have a very special guest today, and he just couldn't wait any longer to give his thoughts on friendships!

Sebastian, from Nyrae Dawn's awesome book What A Boy Wants, is a guy who values his friendships above all the other things in his life. As such, he wanted to talk to you all about his friends, and explain why he loves them so much.

Without further ado, I will hand you over to Bastian!

First, I have to say, I think I could get pretty used to this guest post gig. What’s not to like about popping up at blogs all over the place and sharing my expertise with the world? I mean, if I know my shit, I might as well share it, right? 

*dodges Aspen’s pillow attack*

*blocks Pris’s punch*

*bumps fists with Jaden* Yeah, at least my boy knows to give props when props are due.

ANYWAY, as I was saying before they interrupted me, Kyra asked me to talk about friendships and when it comes to that, I def know what I’m talking about. I have some pretty kickass friends. 

*gives the girls a satisfied look for complementing them*

Seriously though, I’m going to get all sentimental for a minute which doesn’t really happen too often. This is the thing, I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my life. Seen people come and go like the peeps they leave behind don’t matter. I’ve seen people hurt for no reason, betrayed… the whole nine. It sucks to pick up the pieces when that happens. Sucks even more for the one going through it. When you’ve seen people hurt as much as I have, it becomes pretty freaking obvious that most of the people in this world are out for themselves. Shitty? Yep, but true. I seriously think there are only a few people in everyone’s lives who are real. When you find that? You hold onto it. I may screw up once in a while (okay a lot, but no one is perfect), but I can tell you, I have three peeps in my life who I know are real. They’ll have my back no matter what goes down and you can guarantee I’ll do the same for them. 

I may have had a few lessons to learn lately, but that one has always been a no brainer. You mess with them, you mess with me and I know they feel the same. And the thought of screwing them over myself? Nope, I don’t even want to play that game. 

After everything I’ve seen, I know there are only certain things that matter. Friends? The three people in the room with me? They’re one of those things. 

All for one and all that. 

*gets a smile from Pris*

*A hug from Aspen*

*a nod and another fist bump from Jaden*

Yeah, we got it like that. We’re the shit.

 Thanks, Sebastian!

  10. Hmm, I'm not sure I want to fist bump either, *wink* but we can talk later Bastian you know how to contact me.

    In all seriousness. I LOVE when friends and family are important to a character. And with Bastian it was authentic and just came naturally.

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...

IWSG: Am I doing it right? And does anyone care?

Happy IWSG Day! This genius idea created by Alex J. Cavanaugh is a place for all of us insecure writers to gather together to talk about our worries, and cheer each other on. Check out the full list of participants here ! Think right now about your favourite writers. How do you feel when you know they have a new book being released? It's usually something like, "HURRY UP, I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!" right? And also, think about when one of your super talented blog buddies announces they've got a book coming out soon. That is even more exciting because it's someone you know, someone you may have seen struggling to reach their goal of publication. Someone you've seen go through the rough times, and have finally made it to where they want to be. I can tell you that when Jolene Perry, or Nyrae Dawn announce a book release - I bounce up and down like a crazy person! These two awesome ladies are writers I absolutely adore for their ability to write so natural...

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...
