The Bloomsbury Spark authors have joined forces with Giselle from Xpresso Book Tours to celebrate Spark's 6th month anniversary. We're having one hell of a giveaway party and I know you won't want to miss it. We are raffling off a brand new Kindle Paperwhite pre-loaded with all these amazing titles. Including an ARC of MY SOON-TO-BE SEX LIFE:
If you have a blog, consider signing up for the tour, or just join us on June 26th for some Spark madness.

Writers, musicians, artists - creators of any sort - must be FEARLESS. We're going to feel self-doubt, uncertain at trying something new, want to bow under the pressure of expectations - our own and those of total strangers.
But giving into the fear? Giving up? Not an option.
This includes the fear of "killing our darlings". Not everything we write or create is post-on-the-fridge worthy. Especially not first drafts. Revise. Revisit. Rethink. Rewrite. Make mistakes and learn from them, then give the thing another go.
Yeah, edit without mercy, and you'll be amazed at what you can ultimately achieve.
No fear, people!
No.
Fear.
Charlie, the main character in my novel, MY SOON-TO-BE SEX LIFE aspires to be a screenwriter. That bit of her is based in my reality, as I'm both a fiction writer and a screenwriter. It was fun to work in a few screenwriting terms / tropes.
I recently came across an image on Pinterest and as it relates to a current feature film project I'm working on, I thought it worth posting here.
