V is for Visitors




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
 


 V - Visitors
(Radleigh)



“Guess what, guess what, guess what?” 

Leah bounded over to the sofa clutching her phone, and threw herself onto my lap, wrapping her legs around my waist. It was difficult to guess what had got her so excited when she wound herself around me that way, so instead of guessing, I kissed her, long and hard, my hands on her back.

“Radleigh.” She laughed, but kissed me one more time. “Stop trying to distract me, I have good news!”

“Is it better than this?” I pulled her closer, and her body melted beneath my hands.

“Well, no. But it’s still pretty cool.” She unwound an arm from around my neck to show me her cell. “I just got a text from Jesse. He’s coming over!”

Jesse Shaw was the newest and youngest addition to the Westberg Warriors, and he and Leah had formed a close friendship, I think because they were both new to the team. They bonded over that fact, and they’d remained close even when Leah moved away.

“He’s going to be staying in London,” she went on. “Can we go and see him?”

“Sure we can. It’ll be good to see someone from home.”

Leah dropped her phone down, and snuggled against me again. “Do you miss it?”

I nodded. “I miss it. But right now, I’m exactly where I need to be.”

    Who cares about Jesse when she's sitting on his lap?

    I really liked this except. And the last line of dialogue for Radleigh is perfect. :)

    Radleigh's last line was so romantic! I melted a little when I read it.

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...
