It's getting closer!

W00t! not long now until the Game On Blog Tour officially begins!

Before I talk about that (for probably the last time before it starts!) I want to say than you for all your comments on the last post, especially about my photo! I would have put it off for a bit longer, but Leigh Covington asked me for one to include with the interview she'll be posting in a week or two, so I thought I'd better get on it! :D

Thanks also to those of you who have purchased Game On and left reviews! It is so amazing to see such postivity, I cannot express enough how much these reviews mean to me! For those of you who are interested, I've added a new "My Books" page to the blog, so you can see where to buy Game On, and some snippets of the reviews I've received. :D

So, the blog tour begins August 6th, and I have started getting my blog posts out to the fab people who will be hosting me! If you haven't received an email from me yet and are expecting one, don't panic! I am doing it in small phases, and I should have reached everyone by the end of the week. If you have a date on the tour and still haven't heard from me by Saturday, let me know as I don't want to miss anyone out!

Finally, I'm holding a giveaway on Goodreads, and you could win a print copy of  Game On! Details are here. I only put it up this morning and there are 39 entries already. I guess everyone loves a giveaway! Speaking of giveaway, there is still time to enter to win some of Leah's tacky souvenirs from the UK, so if you want to be involved, you can find the details here.

Okay, that's enough Game On chat from me! I will make my next post much less self-involved! :p

What have you guys been working on recently? I wanna know! :D

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
