Cover love!

Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook will have seen my stress over the weekend as I attempted to sort out new covers for Game On and Blindsided. You'll be glad to hear, I got it sorted out!

Due to my laptop dying early this week, I only managed to get one cover done - the cover for Blindsided. It took a while to get it right - most especially for the paperback version - but I ordered myself a copy the second it was available on Amazon (yes, it's actually cheaper and faster to order my books direct from Amazon rather than CreateSpace because of the postage cost!) and it arrived a few minutes ago.

And, here is the back cover ....

It's blurry because I suck at taking photos, but it looks wicked on the book! (Cover photos were purchased from Shutterstock, not taken by me!)

I will post the new Game On paperback cover as soon as I have it. I was too excited to wait to share them both at the same time lol!

    I can't believe you took that back cover photo yourself. It looks awesome.

      Oh, I didn't mean I took the cover photo, I just meant my photo of the photo was dodgy - sorry, I should have been clearer!

      Oh, haha. That makes more sense. You saw my post today so I think you understand how clueless I can be. :) I'm on a roll...

    Oh, they look so lovely! I love that you give credit for the pictures too, so people can go and find pics of their own to buy. Fantastic.

    I loved the new covers K. The picture on the back (even though it's a little blury) is still very eye-catching.

    I love it. Especially the back. LOVE the flag umbrella. It's very romantic. I have it on ebook, but I think I need real copies too.

    I know what you mean. Although I don't draw the settings (I know I should, but then I have a million other stuff I should do for my fantasy as well. Sigh.), I've researched prevalent architecture for the buildings I used and collected photos so that I know where I am and what I'm talking about.
    Great interview! Read Me Dead sounds like it has a really good story in there!

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
