Can You Handle The TRUTH Blogfest


Happy Wednesday, everyone!

I'm here today taking part in the Can You Handle The TRUTH Blogfest to celebrate the release of Curiosity Quills author Jamie Ayres' young-adult, coming-of-age, paranormal-romance 18 Truths, which is scheduled for release 28th January, 2014.

Here's what Jamie had to say about the blogfest:

All you have to do is post a blog centering around the classic Two Truths and a Lie get-to-know-you game. 

Players tell two truths and one lie. The object of the game is to hop around the blogs and determine which statement that each blogger posted is the false one. 

 Anyone who posts for the Can You Handle The TRUTH? blogfest between January 22nd-28th can enter to win a number of prizes donated by 18 terrific people, including: 

1) Jamie Ayres–18 Truths paperback + swag 
2) Mara Valderran–Heirs of War ebook + swag 
3) Eliza Tilton–Broken Forest ebook 
4) Tara Tyler–query critique
5) Alex Cavanaugh–Cassa ebook
6) Ayden Morgen–ebook for Fade and Fall
7) Lynn Jake–journals
8) T.F. Walsh–Cloaked In Fur ebook
9) Sharon Bayliss–print copy of The Charge + critique of query and first chapter 
10) Katie Hamstead–ebook of Kiya
11) Michelle Ziegler–homemade granola and bookmarks
12) Elizabeth Johnson–Moonflower ebook
13) Lindsey Loucks–signed bookmarks 
14) Krystal Wade–ebook of Wilde’s Fire
15) Teshelle Combs–1 copy of Core (paperback) and 1 ebook copy of Core
16) Krista Rausin–2 copies of Mystic paperbacks
17) PK Hrezo–Butterman Time Travel ebook
18) Jessa Russo–Ever ebook

Here are my two truths and a lie. Can you figure out which is the fake?

1) I'm allergic to penicillin 
2) I had my first child a week before my twentieth birthday
3) I have three nephews, one of whom I've never met

About 18 Truths:

Lying is unbearable, betrayal is inevitable, and choosing which path to take is impossible.

Olga Gay Worontzoff ended her senior year as an eighteen-year-old girl totally in love with Nate, enjoying their new romance and about to attend the university of her dreams. Now she’s spending her summer in the weird subculture of the Underworld, with charmingly witty and powerful angels, and problematic demons, trying to rescue Connor, the best friend and secret crush she was unable to save during a freak accident.

But Nate has other things on his mind, mainly Grace. She’s their first assignment as joint spirit guides, and Olga’s feeling hurt and jealous. His mysterious behavior has Olga questioning everything she believed about him and now she must decide whether to stick to their plan, or follow her heart. Unfortunately, a series of mistakes threatens everyone around her and plants Olga in the center of cosmic events much larger than she ever imagined.

Only one thing is certain: the chilling truths uncovered during her journey will leave no one untouched.

About Jamie Ayres:

Jamie Ayres writes young adult paranormal love stories by night and teaches young adults as a public school teacher by day.

When not at home on her laptop or at school, she can often be found at a local book store grabbing random children and reading to them. So far, she has not been arrested for this.

She lives in southwest Florida with her prince charming, two children (sometimes three based on how Mr. Ayres is acting), and a basset hound. She spent her youthful summers in Grand Haven, Michigan and this setting provided the inspiration for her debut novel, 18 Things.

She really does have grandmothers named Olga and Gay but unlike her heroine, she’s thankfully not named after either one of them. She loves lazy pajama days, the first page of a good book, stupid funny movies, and sharing stories with fantastic people like you.

And here is my entry, taken from my current WiP, untitled paranormal-romance. 

“Are you asking me if I’m ready to stop resisting?” Sol ran his thumb across my bottom lip. 
“I am. If tonight’s taught me anything it’s that life is too short.” 
“Yeah?” Even in the dim lamplight I could see the smile on his lips; those gorgeous lips I wanted to crush mine against. 
“Yeah,” I said wrapping my arms around his neck, and finally giving into the desire to run my fingers through his hair.  
“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” he asked, pushing his weight gently against me. We were so close now his hot breath tickled my face.  
“Why don’t I give you a hint?” I used my left hand to tilt his face towards mine, and ran my tongue over his bottom lip. 
In reply, Sol captured my lips with his, and pushed me down into the bed. His tongue explored my mouth, as I pulled the band from his hair, and splayed it over his shoulders.  
The hairs of his goatee tickled my face as our lips melded together, and my hands wondered down the hard planes of his chest. I came to a stop at the hem of his shirt, and ventured underneath it; relishing the feel of his taut muscles under my fingertips.  
We broke apart both breathing heavily and Sol shuffled back from me, though his hands never left where they rested on my waist.  
“I guess that settles it then,” he said huskily, leaving a lingering kiss on my lips.

I hope you enjoyed that little snippet, and if you're so inclined, please check back on Wednesday for another Working Wednesday post!

What Was Your Childhood Monster? Blogfest


In honour of the release of Christine Rains' new paranormal romance novella, FEARLESS, which came out on August 7th  and is available via Smashwords, Christine is hosting the What Was Your Childhood Monster? Blogfest.

Here's what Christine has to say about the fest:

One of my favorite parts of writing the story was creating monsters spawned from children's imaginations. Some of them are silly, but there's no rhyme or reason to a child's fears.

For this blogfest, all you need to do is write about your childhood monster. Did you have a beast living under your bed? Or was the scary clown in your closet?

So, what was my childhood monster?

While in adulthood I have a fear of clowns, thanks to Pennywise the clown *shudders*, as a child I was actually scared of aliens!!

Growing up, me, my sister and my dad often listened to Jeff Wayne's War of theWorlds in the car. 

While I was enthralled by the music, intrigued by the concept and utterly in love with David Essex's Artilleryman, the aliens – and most of all – their tripod space crafts and heat ray terrified me. 

The slow build up, the reveal of the alien as it came out of the craft, the whistling sound that stayed in your head for weeks, and worst of all, the noise of that damn heat ray, went right to my soul.


On one occasion, I borrowed the cassette off my dad, but was too scared to listen to it on my own, and it remained untouched on my window ledge until the following weekend, when I saw my dad again.

Even today, I still get creeped out when listening to War of the Worlds and I think it's responsible my dislike for mechs in sci-fi films, TV shows and books. As well as being the inspiration behind an idea for one of my stories, in which forty tons of mobile metal machinery, called The Harvesters, hunt down the people of the slums, and if they catch you will turn you into robots like themselves .

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked seeing a little snippet of my childhood monster, and I can't wait to read yours … unless it involves more alien or clowns!

And remember to check out FEARLESS on Smashwords!


Buccaneer Blogfest: Week Four, Twelve Eleven

 



I'm here with the final day of the month long Buccaneer Blogfest hosted by Sharon Bayliss and Courtney Young.

Thank everyone who commented on Wednesday's post, and good luck to all those who entered the giveaway. As a reminder, it will run from 1st August until 29th August.

Aug 3: Reflection post: Share your experience from this blogfest. What are the next steps you want to take with your blog?

I signed up for the Buccaneer Blogfest for a few reasons; to make new friends in the blogosphere, to read new posts and gain new insights into writing and blogging, and also to raise my blogging profile and gain more interest in my writing.

I feel like I've accomplished all this and so much more. I've met so many excellent people, and forged deeper connections with people I already followed. I've broadened my horizons both in terms of blogging content and who I visit, and also what I read. I've received some really encouraging feedback and support on my work.

Some highlights for me where both my interview of Pineapple Lightning's Brighton Luke (Pineapple) and Utsav Mukherjee (Lightning) and Aldrea Alien's interview of me over at Thardrandian Thoughts. As well as sharing some of Sibylline Nights with you all, and the feedback I got from it. 

I can't thank you all enough for the support you've given me this last month. Everyone who has stopped by my blog and commented, I really appreciate the interest you've shown in me. And thank you to Sharon Bayliss and Courtney Young for doing such a superb job hosting this wonderful event.

Going forwards, I am going to continue blogging (probably less now this fest is over, about once a week, once NaNo is over), and carry on working on both Sibylline Nights, and my new project, my Camp NaNo 2012 novel. 

I hope I continue to get to know the new friends I've made through their blogs, and I wish everyone success in their future endeavours.



Interview with the Witches


I'm back with day five of the month long Buccaneer Blogfest hosted by Sharon Bayliss and Courtney Young.

But before I get to that, first I'd like to thank everyone who commented on Monday's post, the response to my "hookers" for the first three chapters of Sibylline Nights was fantastic. I'm glad you all enjoyed the 'juicy" arse Maggie was hearing about, and I hope you enjoy the hangers from each chapter too.

Speaking of hangers, before I get onto today's Buccaneer Blogfest post, I'm here to finish off the Hookers and Hangers! Bloghop!, hosted by the wonderful ladies over at Falling For Fiction.

Last sentence from Maggie's opening chapter: She didn't have chance to dwell on it, as she slipped out of consciousness once more. (for a longer look at Maggie's opening chapter see here.)

Last sentence from Nola's opening chapter: They'd lock her up and throw away the key. (for a longer look at Nola's opening chapter see here.)

Last sentence from Esmee's opening chapter: That's when Esmee knew she was making the right choice, especially if it meant Jamie was no longer at risk. (for a longer look at Esmee's opening chapter see here.)



Work in Progress - July 18: Character interview.

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing my Sibylline Nights protagonists Esmee, Maggie and Nola.

Buccaneer Blogfest: Week Two, Day Four And Hookers & Hangers bloghop



 

I'm back again with day four of the month long Buccaneer Blogfest hosted by Sharon Bayliss and Courtney Young.

First, I'd like to say thank you for all the comments on Friday's entry. The positive response to not only my interview of Pineapple Lightning's Brighton Luke (Pineapple) and Utsav Mukherjee (Lightning), but also Aldrea Alien's interview of me over at Thardrandian Thoughts was overwhelming. Thanks for the continued support.  

Week Two: Work in Progress -- July 16 – 20


This week the blogfest is all about your current work in progress, and I'm so excited to share some more information from my New Adult Contemporary Fantasy, Sibylline Nights with you all. The response I've gotten for Sibylline Nights so far has been really encouraging, and I hope you all continue to enjoy the little snippets I share with you. 

July 16: First paragraph of novel or WIP

I will be combining today's (and Wednesday's) post(s) with my entries for the Hookers and Hangers! Bloghop! being hosted by the wonderful ladies over at Falling For Fiction. 

Here's what the ladies from FFF have to say about the hop:

We all know how important the first and last lines are in every chapter. This blogfest will hopefully get your HOOKERS and HANGERS polished making it impossible for readers to put down your book and leaving them begging for more!

On July 16th, post the first sentence from each chapter.


On July 18th, post the last sentence from each chapter.


Post as many as you like!


We will be judging everyone’s first three HOOKERS and first three HANGERS. We’ll each pick two winners (MOST ENTICING HOOKER and MOST IMPOSSIBLE HANGER) making a total of ten winners! Winners will receive a 10 page (double spaced) critique and a Friday Spotlight on FFF!

Of course, my novel is a little different in that I have three protagonists, so I'm sharing the first line from the opening chapters for triplets Maggie, Nola and Esmee. 

First sentence from Maggie's opening chapter: "Look at that arse; that's one juicy arse!" (for a longer look at Maggie's opening chapter see here.)

First sentence from Nola's opening chapter: 'You look prettier with your clothes off,' Jerry had said, his palm sweaty as he had handed over a brown envelope containing notes. (for a longer look at Nola's opening chapter see here.) 

First sentence from Esmee's opening chapter: "She's out there again," Lauren called to Esmee. (for a longer look at Esmee's opening chapter see here.) 



Buccaneer Blogfest: Week One, Day Three

 

I'm back again with day three of the month long Buccaneer Blogfest hosted by Sharon Bayliss and Courtney Young.

First, I'd like to say thank you for all the comments on Wednesday's entry. It was lovely to read everyone's reasons for getting into blogging, and inspiring to know that many of you, like me, have found the writing blogging community so warm, welcoming and supportive.

I probably don't say this enough, so I'll say it again now, a huge thank you to everyone who supports and encourages my writing. I couldn't keep going without you guys. ♥♥♥♥♥

Okay, enough lovin' on with the fest.

(July 13) Interview the person signed up below you on the linky and post that interview.

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Brighton Luke (Pineapple) and Utsav Mukherjee (Lightning) of Pineapple Lightning. 

For those of you wondering, I'm being interviewed by the lovely Aldrea Alien over at Thardrandian Thoughts. Thanks for having me Aldrea, and posing such wonderful questions!

Short Story Writing Advice Wanted 

After my failure to writing an entry for the short story contest, I've been thinking a lot about short stories.  Writing short stories for contests and anthologies is something I really want to do, the problem is, I am rubbish at telling a short story. Any "one-shots" or smaller pieces I've written have all been about 10,000 words. I just can't help myself.

 I know how to structure a novel, and make sure I'm including enough plot development, character development, and world building. I don't know how to do that when I'm limited to a certain amount of words that are usually less than 10k.

So, those who you who regularly write short stories for contests and anthologies, do you have any tips for me? Do you know some good websites when I can research the semantics of writing a short story.

Any help, advice and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 New Facebook Account 

On a final note before I head off, in addition to my Facebook Page, over the weekend I created a 'writing' Facebook account. Feel free to "friend" me over there on my new account.

Okay, I've probably taken up enough of your time now, so I will leave things here, and get started on some writing. I have characters in my head begging for attention! ^_^

Am I Insane?


 The answer to that question is probably. 

When it comes to writing I love a little pressure. 

Write 50k of a novel in 30 days? No problemo. 

Blog every day of April, with each post being based on a letter of the alphabet? Easy peasy.

Come up with a (maximum) 8, 000 word fantasy short story in five days? Challenge accepted.

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest - Part Two


I'm finally catching up on everything – after some hectic personal life business – and am back with part two of Danielle B and Jackie's First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest.

First of all, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who commented on part one. The feedback was really encouraging, and I'm thrilled to hear so many of you enjoyed the fight scene between Nick and Rainie. 

Secondly, I wanted everyone to know, I will try to get around to as many blogs as possible, and catch up on all the posts - including today's kiss scenes - as soon as possible.  

A lot of people mentioned how delicious Rainie's cupcakes sounded. Sadly I can't had real cupcakes out to you all – I would if I could – but I hope some virtual ones will be an acceptable substitute.


For my first kiss scene, I am again focusing on Nick and Rainie from my WiP, Perfect Ten, and some of you may remember an almost kiss I posted between the two a few months ago.

I'm sure you're all eager to get onto the real thing though, so here it is …

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest

 
After a week's break, I'm back, and today taking part in Danielle B and Jackie's First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest.

Here's what the ladies have to say about the blogfest:

Share your 1st FIGHT and 1st KISS scenes in your MS’s, WIP’s, or real life experiences.
We want to read and experience them all! Make us feel what your characters or what you felt ... from the sting of the fist hitting the face to the taste of that first kiss.

The First Fight/First Kiss blogfest will go as such:
  • Post 1 will be on Tuesday, June 12 - Share your 1st FIGHT scene on your blog... lovers spat, a banter back and forth, a battle scene, a classic fist fight, etc. It can be physical or verbal, fists or magic. Whatever you want.
  • Post 2 will be on Thursday, June 14 - Share your 1st KISS scene on your blog. It can be a peck on the cheek or a full fledge kissing session. Whatever you want to share.
  • Hop around to the other blogs and comment on their wonderful 1st fight and 1st kiss scenes.

Once again I'm focusing on my second WiP,
Perfect Ten, and sharing with you the first fight and first kiss between Nick Braxton (who I introduced during the 'Oh, My Hero!' Bloghop) and Rainie Dalton (who I will be introducing in the 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!' Bloghop).

Announcing the 2nd Annual Flash Fiction Blogfest

Tomorrow will be an exciting day, I'm sure!! 

It's Getting Hot In Here ... So Take Off All Your Clothes



Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone!

I hope you're having an excellent day whether you're coupled off or not.

I'm here with another blog fest / hop / thing post.

Today it's the "Is It Getting HOT in Here? Valentine's Day Blog Hop!" Hosted by the lovely Cassie Mae and Hope. Thank you ladies for putting this together, and offering prizes.

Once again I'm sharing a little something from my current work-in-progress Sibylline Nights. Though unlike the last blog fest, I'm only focusing on one couple – Nola and Naima – as I don't want to give too much away! ^_~

Here is Nola and Naima's first kiss. Enjoy. 

Once More With Feelings


Happy Friday everyone! I'm here for the final part of the "I'm hearing Voices" blogfest.

But before we begin, I'd once again like to say thanks to to Cassie Mae and Angie for hosting the blogfest.

And also thank you to everyone out there who read and commented on Wednesday's Post. Your words of encouragement mean a lot to me, and were greatly appreciated.

Finally, welcome to my new followers, it's lovely to have you here.

I'll be back later today with a non-blogfest post updating about my WiP. ^_^

Now onto business …

As I did on Monday and Wednesday I'm 'cheating' a little and doing the challenge for all three of my main protagonists as it seems really unfair to leave out any of my girls. ;)

Today, however, due to time constraints I'm lifting scenes straight out of Sibylline Nights. Enjoy.
