L is for Love

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

 L - Love (Radleigh) 

Before Leah, I hadn’t been in love for a long time. The woman I was with before put me off getting serious with anyone else. Didn’t seem worth the hassle. I was pretty happy hopping in and out of bed with women I’d never see again. Sex without any commitment.

I didn’t know how different Leah would be when I first met her. I assumed she’d be like all the others; a quick lay, then telling everyone how badly I treated her, even though I never promised anything more than what I gave her. Things between us never went that way. Not even the quick lay part. She fought me every step of the way. She called me out on my bullshit, and didn’t let me get away with anything.

She’s sexy as hell, but that’s not why I fell in love with her. Nobody ever fought for me the way she did. Nobody ever took the time to look beyond what I wanted people to see. But she appeared in my life and pushed her way in. I don’t think she even knew she was doing it. I was a mystery she wanted to solve, and when she’d put all the pieces together, we both ended up where we never expected to be. We fell in love.

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

Dust It Off Bloghop!

Welcome to day one of the Dust It Off Bloghop, hosted by Theresa Paolo and Cortney Pearson ! This hop is all about the WIPs you wrote, and then shelved! Okay, so I am teaming up with Clare Dugmore for this one, because back in 2006 - yup, we've known each other THAT long lol! - we started to write a book together. Unfortunately, other commitments got in the way and we never finished it - but even so many years on - it's still something we remember fondly, so we're going to dust it off for you! The first day, May 3rd: We want you to post a 1-2 sentence pitch (Great way to practice pitches) about the shelved WIP. Here is the pitch Clare and I came up with: For best friends Caitlin and Tori, their first acting job out of Uni opens up a whole new world for them – unfortunately, it wasn’t the world they were expecting. When the strains of adult life and tangled relationships threaten to ruin their friendship, they are forced to take a look at what’s really importan
