*Peeks into Blogosphere*

Hello!

Yup, it's been a freaking long time since I wrote a blog post of my own, that wasn't a cover reveal or blog tour post!

I've been super, insanely, can't-tell-which-day-of-the-week-it-is busy, plus I did take a very brief time out to enjoy the rather unusual British summer heatwave! It would take forever to update you on everything, so I'll just talk about the stuff you'll be most interested in. Actually, there's probably only one thing :

I finished another book!

I've been writing it since last November, which is a crazy amount of time, but it was most definitely a labour of love. Real, genuine, love. I've never written a book I've fallen so deeply in love with. Not that I don't love my Game On crew, but this book feels different. Special. I just hope everyone else feels that way when I publish it lol! (I PROMISE I will write up a synopsis and give more details soon!)

SO... I guess this is just my first "hello" for now. It seems like every time I say "I promise to be around more often," something pops up and takes over. So, I'm just gonna give waves and hugs to anyone who is still here, and leave it at that for now!

    So awesome. I can always tell when the author absolutely love their book. You'd think it wouldn't make that much difference, but there's an extra something to it--like stumbling across a really well casted movie where all the actors genuinely like and build off each other. Looking forward to learning more!

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
