Updates and Stuff

Yeah, not the most imaginative title ever, but, it's been a long week!

First of all, thanks to all of you who left your thoughts on my last blog post about what makes you dislike a book. I haven't replied to the comments yet, but I found your answers really interesting, and I will reply to them as soon as possible!

Next, the beautiful Clare Dugmore wrote an awesome review of If I Let You Go, which you can find here. Thanks to Clare, and everyone else who has taken the time to leave reviews on Goodreads or Amazon - it's hugely appreciated. The novella has only been out for a week (almost), and it's doing pretty well, so another massive thanks to everyone who has downloaded it!

The second book in the Game On Series, "Blindsided" is about to go through a massive round of last minute edits. I received a proof copy, and just in the first few pages, there are a bunch of things I want to change. This is no reflection at all on my amazing CPs, it's just that I am particularly fussy about my word choices sometimes lol!

On the same topic, I will be doing a cover reveal for Blindsided next week! Also, the blog tour is shaping up nicely. To those I've contacted, thank you for your speedy responses. I am going to start getting the guest posts ready next week too. I do still have a couple of spots to fill on the tour, so if you're interested in hosting me in late November/December, leave me a comment and let me know. I believe I have three places left, so the first three responses will get an email from me. If you need more details, shoot me over an email at kyralennon (at) gmail (dot) com. Thank you!

Aand finally, next week I will be revealing details of my Game On Christmas project, so stay tuned!

Have a great weekend, peeps! <3 br="br">

    Yay for all the exciting stuff you've got going on, I'm very much looking forwards to everything you've got coming up, and I can't wait to see it all happening.

    Let me know if you need help with anything, and good luck with the last of your edits. :D

    You have been a very busy girl. I feel all kinds of lazy over here. I haven't been very productive lately. Although, I just finished the If I Let You Go piece for your blog hop and I kind of love it. (This never happens on a first draft for me) Hope you love it too!

    Have a fabulous weekend my friend.

    Congrats on your book release, the reviews, and the new one's copy-edits (and the revisions -- it's hard to be satisfied and not tinker, huh?).
    Sounds like you're doing great! :-)

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
