In which my characters take over my blog to share big news!

Leah: Hello everyone! Kyra's hiding today, so Freya and I are here to share some news with you!
Freya: Yes, it's true, Kyra had her first set of author photos taken yesterday and she is already freaked out about seeing her face everywhere, so she's letting us take over while she gets used to it!
Now she's had her photos taken, she is ready to show off her shiny new Goodreads Author page! If you'd like to add Game On to your reading list, or leave a review if you've already read it, that would be fab!
Although the blog tour for Game On doesn't start until August 6th, the book is OUT NOW! There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, the buy links needed to be ready for the tour, secondly, we were bugging the hell out of Kyra to get this book out already, and finally, she was too excited to wait for much longer! 
You can read our story by following these links:


Amazon.com kindle version 
Amazon.com paperback 
Amazon UK kindle version 
Amazon UK paperback

and that's not all for today! *casts Freya a pouty look*
Leah, don't look at me that way, you agreed!
Don't listen to her, I was forced!
You were not! 
Well, whatever. For those of you who have already read Game On, you'll know that I have quite a thing for tacky souvenirs. I collect them from every place I travel to, but Freya thinks I have too many.
WAY too many. 
 *ignores Freya* So, she thinks it's time I gave some away. Plus, I'm generous that way! So, I have put together a small collection of tacky souvenirs from the UK and Kyra will send them to one lucky winner! All you have to do to enter is follow the Rafflecopter instructions at the bottom of the page! 
Dorky as she is, some of Leah's souvenirs are pretty funny. I think you'll like them.
*laughing* Stop telling people I'm a dork! 
Sorry, sorry. She's not a dork, just ... weird about souvenirs!
Okay, enough out of you, friend, let's get out of here before Kyra decides we aren't allowed here ever again!
*giggles* Okay, we have to go to work anyway! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Yes, hope the sun shines wherever you are!

    Congratulation on your new picture. You look AWESOME! I'll miss the coffee image, but will crave less coffee as a result.

    Love this post. It makes me wonder how my characters would handle taking over my blog for a day.

      oh and I should add...if you can get it onto Book Depository, I prefer to buy from there as it's way cheaper for us Aussies than Amazon (which has exorbitant postage costs).

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
