Hookers and Hangers - Has Anyone Seen A Hooker?

Just wanna say, this is the absolute best title for a blog hop EVER!

The Hookers and Hangers bloghop is being hosted by the lovely ladies from Falling For Fiction! It's all about gripping your readers with excellent opening lines, and leaving them begging for more with amazing cliffhangers.

We begin with the hookers, and I am going to be using some of the openers from my latest WIP, the follow up to Game On. :D
 

Hooker One: Rain hammered against the window, jolting me awake.

Hooker Two: “One more try, I’ll do it this time, I swear!”

Hooker Three: Lunch at the Mills’ house was … a little weird to say the least. 

Hooker Four: “What the hell is she doing here?”

Hooker Five: Why are there lights on during the day? It is daytime, right? I always turn the lights off before I go to sleep, so why are they on? Wait. Where am I? 

Hooker Six:  It had been three hours since I’d seen Leon, and I was still thinking about what he said. 

**

Okay, that's all, now I'm off to hop around to visit the other participants! :D  

P.S I'm really not sure why the words came out all different sizes up there, sorry about that!

  3. You have a really good voice. Very consistent. You can't beat a line that simply saids "What the hell is she doing here?" to produce some conflict. I am intrigued. Can't wait to read your hangers.

  4. Haha. I was wondering if you had done that one purpose, with the different sizes. :) It looks cool, so well done. ;)

    Have I said how excited I am for Game On?? I am SUPER excited. Love me some soccer.

    These lines are great. I'm liking four :)

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...
