The Next Big Thing!

Good morning, peeps!

How is everyone enjoying GUTGAA so far? I had heaps of fun yesterday and met some amazing bloggers - welcome to those who have followed me! I am still not done visiting everyone, and it's going to take me a while to reply to all the comments here, but I am getting through it bit by bit. :D

Today I was tagged by Cassie Mae in the Next Big Thing meme! It is an honour indeed, especially when it was someone as awesome as Cassie handing out the prize!

What is the working title of your book?

Haha, well, I have a lot going on at the moment, but I'm going to talk about the second book in the Game On Series, because I haven't said too much about it yet! The working title is very imaginative - it's currently "Jesse." :p

Where did the idea come from?

Mainly it came from the readers of Game On falling in love with Jesse Shaw LOL! I wanted to write something a little less intense than the first book, with a higher level of soppy, teenage romance! I think I failed at the first half and succeeded at the second!

What genre does your book fall under?

NA Contemporary Romance





Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie?




I literally have every person cast, but I will just share the two main ones with you! And because we aren't supposed to post photos, I will have to link to Chad Michael Murray as Jesse Shaw, and Jessica Amlee as Isabelle Mills. 

What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?


After a successful first season in L.A, Jesse Shaw heads to London with his best buddy, but his world is turned upside down when a dangerous prank threatens his career and his blossoming relationshio with Brit chick Isabelle Mills. 

(Or something like that LOL! Writing a one sentence synopsis is hard!)

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

Self published :)

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

Around six or seven weeks.

Who or what inspired you to write this book?

As above, fans of Jesse from Game On! :D

What else about your book would pique the reader's interest?

Erm ... I think that it's a dual POV, and one of the POVs comes from a whole new character, who will feature in later books in the series. Also, there are some quirky side characters, and an appearance from Radleigh McCoy!

And I will tag:

Clare Dugmore
Viklit
Laura (Stranger Than Writing)

That's all for today! :D

  5. I love dual POV book. And Jesse was a great character. I'm glad to know he's getting a book of his own.

  6. My titles are just as creative right now! I have one that involves faeries and it's titled....you guessed it, "Faeries". Hopefully soon I can make it a little more dazzling.

  9. I am so envious of your six/seven weeks to write the first draft. It's taken me that long to write the first paragraph of my WIP.

It's here! WIP: The Movie!

I can't even tell you have excited I have been about this! It's early, so I have only got round to a few entries so far, but I am having a blast reading them all! Thanks to all who have participated, and of course, to my awesome co-host, Rachel ! It's time for me to introduce you to the characters from my - as yet untitled - WIP. When I first started this blog, my WIP was different, so this might confuse some of you (sorry about that!). This is Leah Walker, my MC. Technically, she is a little young, but she looks perfect! Leah is a physiotherapist for an American soccer team, but she is actually an English girl with a, let's say, colourful past. Radleigh McCoy is the ridiculously good-looking, not to mention exceptionally arrogant soccer player who challenges Leah in every way possible.  This is Freya Phillips. Freya is Leah's best friend and roommate. She works as a coach for the soccer team, and she is both very kind, and totally wild! Th...

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl...

Camp NaNo Update, and details

To begin with, I want to say thanks again to Emily for allowing me onto her blog as a blogging mentor! Being interviewed is always fun, and Emily is awesome! So, to Camp NaNo! Four days in and I'm still on track! Well, I will be when I finish today's writing. :D I mentioned a while ago that I was planning to battle boy POV, and I'm doing my best to get through it. However, it is hard, so I decided to turn my NaNo story into dual POV so it will be 50% less difficult! I'm not against cheating to get the work done. :p Just to give you a quick recap on what I'm doing for NaNo: In Game On, I have a young soccer player named Jesse Shaw, and he proved quite popular during the A-Z challenge. So, I decided he needed his own spin-off story! It's set at the end of the soccer season, when Jesse and his best friend go to London. I don't have a proper synopsis yet, but this is my guideline for now Soccer sensation Jesse Shaw literally has the world at his fee...
