Game On Blog Tour Day 13 - The Final Countdown!

Okay, where did that last two weeks go? It seems like only yesterday I was watching the Olympics and being nervous about the start of the blog tour, and now there is just one day left! I will save my enormous gushing thank yous for tomorrow's post, but I hope you all know how grateful I am for everything!

Remember a week or so ago, I mentioned I had an idea for a book that came to me in a dream? Well, it's kind of taking over. Taking over, as in, I may end up releasing three books this year instead of the two I planned! It probably won't be novel length, more like a novella, but I am surprised by how quickly it's coming together. I know there are people who worry that self-publishers put out loads of books a year because they rush through them, and maybe the quality suffers. I don't want to be THAT person, so rest assured, I will work hard to get it right before putting it out there. If it doesn't get done in time, I won't force it - but just wanted to let you know, it could happen!

Now, today on the blog tour, I saved a great post for the second-to-last stop! Jackie from Bouquet of Books is one of the warmest, friendliest, sweetest bloggers out there! Jackie will have a guest post from me about the Game On soundtrack - which I purposely chose for Jackie so we can squee over our love for Maroon 5's Adam Levine! ;)

The final stop on the blog tour is tomorrow, and it will be RIGHT HERE! So try and remember to swing by, as there is going to be some fireworks in an interview with Radleigh and Leah - plus the results of the Team Leah/Team Radleigh contest!

The winners of the overall prizes for being a part of the blog tour will be announced sometime next week! :D

Happy Saturday everyone!

    Exciting news about the new idea! It's funny how things can come out of nowhere and demand attention. Going to let me have a look?? :)

    Awww, Bouquet of Books is such a cute name! Looking forward to seeing tomorrow's interview with Radleigh & Leah. I finished Game On the other day and oh my god Kyra... it's amazing! I'll need to put up a proper review for you soon, but I can't stop thinking about the characters and worrying about how they're getting on haha. I'm SO glad you're doing a second book for them, I want to know how things pan out!

    Jealous of your new idea, seeing as though I think my novella idea is going backwards. Lol! Oh, but good luck with yours :-)

    Well done on having such a great tour!

    You know I'm so excited for this new story. I love Jesse's story of course, but something about this new one just feels exciting and passionate. :D

    Really looking forwards to tomorrow's stop on the tour! :D

    Happy writing and releasing. I love it when I'm gripped by a new idea.

    Not forcing it is the best policy.

    Have a great weekend.

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
