K is for Kissing

My A-Z Theme is based on my books, the Game On series. You won’t need to have read them to follow this story, since it’s slightly removed from the full plot, like a side story. What it will do is give you a glimpse into my characters, and a chance to get to know them a little bit, PLUS, during the story, you will get a mini tour of parts of the UK! The posts will come from two of my main characters, Leah Walker and Radleigh McCoy. If this is your first time here, please start at the letter A. :D

 K - Kissing 
(Leah) 

The rain cut our day in St. Ives short. If I’m totally honest, I was cool with us getting the things we needed from the supermarket, then holing ourselves back up in our temporary home. We had plenty of time for looking around, and four hours with our clothes on seemed like too long.

We dumped our shopping bags in the kitchen, then flung ourselves on one of the sofas in the living room, joined at the lips.

I’d had some good kisses in my time, but Radleigh blew them all out of the water. His lips caught my attention around thirty seconds after I first met him. Hard to miss them when they curve into the perfect devilish grin. They’re full and soft, and boy, does he know how to use them. They had the power to turn me – a 26-year-old – into a fifteen-year-old who forgot everything the moment he kissed me. A herd of elephants could have stampeded through the room, and I wouldn’t have let go of Radleigh, not even to question where they came from.

Sorry again for the short post - I have a crazy day today, but I'll catch up on what I missed later!

As promised - one giveaway for you. I'm offering ten - yes ten - eCopies of Game On, and this giveaway will run until the end of the A-Z Challenge! There is only one mandatory entry, and that's to leave a blog comment. If you're here, I'm assuming you planned to do that anyway LOL! SO... get commenting! :D a Rafflecopter giveaway

    1. Just read your other posts and realize the MC is named Leah so what I meant to say is I like your description of how much Leah enjoys Radleigh's kiss. Guess that's what I get for blog hopping on K!

  4. Four hours with clothes on? It sounds like they practiced a great amount of self-restraint!

    This is a generous giveaway!

  9. This totally made me laugh: and four hours with our clothes on seemed like too long.

    I like that last paragraph. So much in writing is showing and not telling. And basically I could sum that whole paragraph up into, "he's a good kisser."

    But you did an awesome job of showing us that instead of the boring, he's a good kisser. This is a terrific example of what you should do.

  10. Hi Kyra, have started following you. I coudn't stop laughing at "four hours with our clothes on seemed too long ;) "

    I am super eager to read your books now.

  11. Kissing is a popular theme for K. ;)

    I love reading kissing scenes where the characters push each other onto a couch, bed, or into a wall. Radleigh does sound like a great kisser, too.

  12. Great mix of humor and passion and even a bit of backstory is such a short scene.

    Hope you’re having fun with the A to Z challenge,
    Jocelyn

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...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Oh, I have SO been looking forward to this!! But, before I start, I need to send a huge apology to Emily R.King and Melodie Wright. I signed up to their What I Did Last Summer Bloghop , but it looks like I'm not going to have the time to participate. :( I've never backed out of a bloghop before, but as you may have noticed, I've been kind of out of the blogging loop for a while and now I'm struggling to catch up! Please go and check out Emily and Melodie's hop, though - it's fun! :D NOW, onto GUTGAA! This amazing blogfest was put together by Deana Barnhart , and was designed to help writers in their quest to find an agent, plus help form connections between writers. The idea is genius and I am so excited to be a part of it! So, I am going to begin with the meet and greet questions, and I'll be hopping around to other blogs later! :D Bio : Kyra Lennon was born on the South coast of England, and to this day, still lives by the sea.

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...
