Release Day Fun with Annalisa Crawford

Annalisa Crawford is here to celebrate the release of her new book, Our Beautiful Child!

For no reason whatsoever, Annalisa thought it would be fun to answer some of the questions that Jackie magazine asked the stars of the day (the example she's found is from 1984 – and the victim was Johnny Marr from The Smiths). She will be answering one question on each of the random blogs taking part!

Question: If you could be a character in any TV soap, who would you choose?

 Annalisa's answer: I haven’t watched soaps for years, so I’m going to have to say Charlene from Neighbours, because she’s the only character I can remember!

And my answer:

Hmm, right now I think I'd quite like to be just about any character in Hollyoaks, so I can hang out with talented and gorgeous guys such as Danny Mac, Greg Wood and Ayden Callaghan!



Our Beautiful Child is available right now!  

“The Boathouse collects misfits. Strange solitary creatures that yearn for contact with the outside world, but not too much. They sit, glass in hand, either staring at the table in front of them, or at some distant point on the horizon.” 

 … so says the narrator of Our Beautiful Child. And he’s been around long enough to know.

 People end up in this town almost by accident. Ella is running away from her nightmares, Sally is running away from the memories of previous boyfriends and Rona is running away from university. Each of them seek sanctuary in the 18th century pub, The Boathouse; but in fact, that’s where their troubles begin.

 Ella finds love, a moment too late; Rona discovers a beautiful ability which needs refining before she gets hurt; and Sally meets the captivating Murray, who threatens to ruin everything.

 Three women. Three stories. One pub.

    Congratulations, Annalisa! I wouldn't want to be a character in a soap opera because bad things always happen to them.

      I know - they definitely have more than their fair share of bad luck, don't they?

      I hadn't realised how far reaching the coverage would be - people just kept offering their support :-)

    I'm glad I didn't get that question, I don't know any soap characters!
    Congratulations again, Annalisa!

      You must know JR, at the very least? Although I'm not sure anyone would want to be him :-D

    Jackie magazine - now there's a blast from my past! Interesting question I would probably say Charlene too (I loved Neighbours at that time) cause she got to snog Jason Donovan afterall! She was a mechanic in the programme, don't think I could have done that though!

    Congrats Annalisa :)

      Did you see their Comic Relief reunion? I actually loved that much more than I should admit to!

    Congratulations, Annalisa! That's a tough question! Especially if you don't watch soaps! Pretty cool book promo though. I like the idea of one question per blog taken from an interview years ago. Very cool! :)

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...

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...

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...
