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.

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...
