I'm back!

Ah, how I've missed you all!

I have spent the last week or so recharging after all the Game On organisation. I cannot believe how much it took out of me to finish edits, let alone set up the blog tour! But, I am not going to bang on about that because no doubt you are all tired of it already! :p I will just say that during this week, the full list of stops and what you can expect will go up on the blog tour page so you can have a look at what I have in store. 

The downside of taking time off is that I don't have a whole lot to talk about lol! But by the end of the week, I should be back in the writing groove and posting more regularly.

Before I go I want to wish good luck to everyone who is pitching in the YAtopia pitch contest today! Most especially to my best buddy Clare Dugmore. I will be cheering you all on! 

Also, the amazing Jolene Perry has released her 876th book of the year (:p), Spill Over. I just started reading it last night and already, I'm hooked! The exceptional standard of Jolene's work always astounds me, so make sure you check it out!

So, what's everyone been up to? Have I missed any exciting news?

    Welcome back!! can't wait to hear the full blog tour schedule, and hopefully I should have some character stuff for you soon. ;)

    Thanks for the cheerleading. Coming from you it means the most. <3

    You always mention Jolene Perry's books, I really should check them out (after I've read the other one million I've downloaded).

      Thanks!!

      I'm so nervous for you lol!

      Ah, Jolene is fabulous! But yes, my reading list is exceptionally long at the moment too. Need to stop adding to it!

      *hehe* Aww. <3 I'm not actually nervous now, but I was last night.

      I have so many samples on my tablet it's untrue. I just added one of Jolene's too ... heh, and people said the Kindle would decrease reading.

    :-) I definitely read 876th book and believed you, until I saw you said this year. Because 876th book in her career would totally have been serious. I'm looking forward to reading it!

    I totally missed this post, and like three people have said that they agree with Kyra on the 876th book of the year, so I finally googled it to see where on earth that came from lol.
    Thanks!

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

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest

Yay, it's blogfest time! Many thanks to Danielle and Jackie for hosting! Here are the details: Share your 1 st FIGHT and 1 st KISS scenes in your MS’s or WIP’s. Crack open your current project or dive back into an old one. We want to feel what your characters feel. From the sting of their first fist-to-the-face to the tingling taste of their first kiss. Today is First Fight day, and I wanted to bring you a small excerpt from my NaNo novel which centres around Jesse Shaw, one of the characters from Game On. It's a bit rough, and a bit vague - mainly because I wrote it quickly, Jesse's voice still needs work, and this fight in full would be packed with spoilers, but hopefully it gives enough info to make sense!   Just to clear up a small thing - Georgia is Isabelle's twin sister. :)   ** “Izzy,” I said. “You know the right thing to do.” Isabelle looked down at me with those big brown eyes, and my insides twisted with guilt. Right away, I realised

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
