P is for Peaceful



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

P - Peaceful
(Leah)
 
After spending a little time on Fistral Beach, trying to kill off some bad memories, Radleigh and I went to one of the hotels overlooking the beach to get something to eat. Another tradition Radleigh had yet to experience was the traditional Cornish Cream Tea. Scones with jam and clotted cream was amongst the things I’d missed the most when I was in the U.S, and since I’d been back in England, a Cream Tea was still a rare treat for me.

After teaching Radleigh that you’re supposed to put the jam on before the cream, we ate in a comfortable, peaceful silence, enjoying the view.

It had been an interesting morning. I hadn’t expected to feel so conflicted on going back to Fistral Beach. The beauty, the sadness, the relief that everything had changed. Having Radleigh with me made it easier. This was just another moment that showed me how different he was. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t even nearly over the phase of wanting to be in bed with him every second of the day, but I loved that we weren’t just about that. There was more, and it made all the crap we went through to get to this place worthwhile.

Short post today, due to time restraints! Thanks for reading! :D

Here's a teaser from Blindsided, the second book in the Game On Series.

Blurb: After a successful first soccer season in L.A, Jesse Shaw heads to London with his best buddy, Hunter, but his world is turned upside down when a dangerous prank threatens his career and his blossoming relationship with Hunter’s cousin, Isabelle.

Isabelle Mills lives in Notting Hill with her parents and her twin sister, Georgia. When she finds out her cousin is coming to stay, along with his famous soccer player friend, her first instinct is to hibernate until they’ve gone. However, once she meets Jesse, everything changes. He’s everything she ever wanted, but with so many obstacles in their path, can she really risk putting her heart on the line?

  1. Short posts are sometimes a good thing! Relationships should be more than just sex, they should be deeper and emotional. It really seems like Radleigh and Leah have a serious connection. I can't wait to read it. Crossing my fingers to win your giveaway!

  2. I agree with Vanessa, relationships should not just be about spending time in bed, they should be deeper and the two people should definitely connect on an emotional level.

  3. A traditional Cornish Cream Tea sounds lovely. And yes, while spending time in bed is wonderful, a relationship can't only be about that. Not if you want it to last, anyway. Lovely post!

  4. How can a guy say no to a woman who wants to be in bed all the time?
    Wait, did I say that out loud...?

  6. Cornish Cream Tea sounds lovely!

    Sometimes after visiting places from our past we can be overcome with a new sense of peace and that is always an amazing feeling. :)

  7. Glad Radleigh and Leah are forming a deeper connection. Ages since I had a cream tea.
    Happy Easter, Kyra.

  10. Okay. Since you're talking little getaways above, I gotta tell you my story. My husband suggested the other day taking a trip to England next fall. This is highly unusual and so I was suspicious. (I'm the one who would've love to travel Europe, not him.)

    After some more questioning I find out that the Dallas Cowboys are playing the Jaguars at Wembly Stadium. Do not ask my why. (Cory's a Cowboys fan)

    And I said, I'm not going all the way to England to watch a football game.

    He said, we're not going JUST to watch a football game.

    I said, oh yeah, what else are we going to do.

    I waited a few seconds while he thought. Then he goes, we'll go see that big rectangle thing in the middle of the circle.

    Oh, you mean the Arc de Triomphe? That'd be Paris.

    No, the big rectangular thing.

    You mean, Big Ben?

    Yeah. He nods.

    What's Big Ben?

    Silence.

    But gotta give him points for trying. :)

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...

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...

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...
