I interrupt my Over It (The Kiss Off 2) excitement to talk about someone and something ELSE for a minute.

Jolea M. Harrison deserves a round of applause. She has just published the eighth and final book in her Guardians of the Word series, called King. 
Eight books, you guys. That's one hell of a story arc. And these books have been thirty-odd years in the making.

Such dedication. I can't imagine sticking with one set of characters for SO. VERY. LONG. I haven't read this series (yet) myself but I HAVE snatched up book one. 

And guess what? IT'S FREE RIGHT NOW. And the rest of the series is on sale!

If you like your fantasy epic, then it's a series definitely worth checking out.

About the Series
Guardians of the Word

The Guardians of the Word is an epic fantasy, science fiction amalgam that tells the story of Dynan Telaerin and his ancestor's long struggle to rid the world of evil. Beyond the barrier lies the heart of deception, trapping the world in a repeating cycle of devastation, rebirth and then destruction once again, every thousand years. 

For countless cycles knowledge is destroyed, the words of truth lost to future generations until one young man, the First King of Cobalt sacrifices his eternal soul to remain. He brings lost knowledge forward in time to his ancestors, Dynan and Dain, who like him, are telepathic twin brothers. It is their destiny to finally break the cycle, or die in the attempt, damning the world to the final darkness, for in their time, the Gods are weakened, the demon prevails and unless it is defeated once and for all, will remain to rule in domination and terror.

The Chronicles are Chosen, Myth, Telepath, Legend, Union, Adept, Seer, and King. 

Congratulations, Jolea! I wish you all the success in the world.

Over It (The Kiss Off 2) Official Blurb Reveal!

28/3/2013

Comments

 
Here it is. 

The previous, dot point-like blurb which can be found on Goodreads (have you added it to your TBR list yet?) was written BEFORE the book.
So it was essentially my plan for what was to come.

Now, behold, the real deal, what the book IS actually about!

Over It (The Kiss Off 2) 
Book Description:

Warning: Sexual References, occasional coarse language.

Teen Youtube song writing sensation Poppy Douglas's lead singer boyfriend Ty's been criss-crossing the country and living it up on tour for months while Poppy has been stuck in the boring suburbs, finishing out the school year.

But it's Summer now, and the best thing just happened: Poppy's royalties for writing the hit song The Kiss Off just came in. She's minted, and she knows just what she's going to blow it on.

Ty's band Academy of Lies are headlining a summer music festival, and Poppy is taking her girlfriends along for the best weekend of their lives. It's all organized: the weekend is going to be full of camping under the stars, backstage passes, VIP rooms and partying like rock stars, not to mention some long awaited one-on-one time with America's favorite front man.

Except, when someone drops out of the trip and Poppy takes the opportunity to mend a broken friendship, it doesn't quite go according to plan. And when she meets her boyfriend's BFF from another band, the paparazzi form their own totally wrong conclusions. There's also the matter of Ty's 'super fan' stalker, but the less said about her the better.

The biggest test of all comes in the form of an opportunity too good to pass up. But will insecurities and jealousy stand in Poppy's way? Can Poppy and Ty's relationship even survive it?

Life is about to get much more complicated for Poppy Douglas, but what can you expect when your boyfriend is a rock star?

Do you have any ideas? Guesses as to what's going to happen?

The Kiss Off 2 New Title Alert!

28/3/2013

Comments

 
As the book cover reveal on April 1 draws closer (it's not too late to sign up!), I have a couple of other things to reveal.

Like the new title!

I have been calling the sequel to The Kiss Off "The Kiss Off 2" since I started writing it late last year, and I'm well aware of what a lame name that is.

Sounds like a movie sequel, not a BOOK, sequel, right?

So it had a new name for awhile there. It WAS called: The Kiss Off 2: Fame, Blame and Full of Shame.
Which was kinda catchy.,, but long. And still sounds like a movie.

So I thought about it some more.
The Kiss Off is the name of the song that Poppy writes, the catalyst that sets the plot into motion.

So it only makes sense that future books in the series should be named after songs she writes in that book as well, don't you think?

So The Kiss Off 2 has a new name. Are you ready for this?

It's name is...

Over It

Clean. Simple. What do you think? It's kind of indicative that there will be drama inside. But this is Poppy we're talking about. Drama was a given.

Stay tuned, in the next day or so will be the official blurb reveal! Much more detail than the original blurb, which I actually wrote BEFORE writing the novel.

Hi there most awesome ones!

The Sarah Billington blog has filled in the change of address cards at the post office, packed up all its boxes and has moved! It's about time, really. I haven't lived in the same place for more than a year in a long time so the blog has really been showing me up.

But check it out, nice digs, huh?

If you're a subscriber to the blogspot blog, make sure you sign up through the RSS feed over there on the right to be kept in the loop here, okay?

On April 1st the covers are being revealed!
The Kiss Off 2's cover and the updated, much prettier re-release cover for The Kiss Off as well!

But before then, I will share with you two new developments with The Kiss Off 2.

1) ITS NEW NAME. It has a much better name now. For reals. Though I've simply been referring to it as The Kiss Off 2, it hasn't really changed in my head yet.

2) The official, much more descriptive blurb! 

So stay tuned.
