Game On Blog Tour Day 12 - Writers Rock!

Ahh, just two more blog tour days left - and the time has flown by! I confess, I will be glad when it's done and I can get back to some kind of routine, but I've had the best time! :D

Yesterday, I met up with Annalisa Crawford, and it was a fantastic day! We had lunch, walked around town, went to the beach, then finished in the pub. :D We were so much enjoying our chat that we didn't realise when Annalisa'a husband had called her a few times, ready to pick her up! I very much hope we can meet again soon for more writerly chat and giggles - and if you're not following Annalisa's blog - go and do it now! :D

Today on the blog tour, I will be stopping over at Mama J's place - another British writer with a fab sense of humour - where there will be a guest post from Game On's Freya Phillips.

The wonderfully talented and super supportive Carrie Butler will have another Game On excerpt.

And the lovely Tara Tyler will be taking a brief time out from CampNaNo to share an interview!

Hope you all have a great Friday and an awesome weekend! :D

    Thanks for the shout out Kyra. I never would have thought we could talk so easily and non-stop for FIVE hours, but there you go!

    Enjoy the last couple of days of the tour!

    How nice you could get together with a fellow blogger! I would love to throw all of my bloggie friends in a room together and have a huge party. LOL

    Glad you had such a fun time!

    Your blog tour seems to be going really well - I've bumped into you several places and enjoyed the book extracts.

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
