Leah writes books

Awesome PT session with Andy Clements tonight and his usual comments of Reps for Jesus turned into writing for Jesus instead and his words of general encouragement have got 4 pages down tonight! That is epic! Specially after the crappy attempts I have made all summer. Thank you Andy you will always be my favourite PT, until you make me do those funny shoulder lift things. Linkin Park SWAT is also added to the playlist after Andy's Spin class which uses it and it gave me some ideas.

That's my selection ordered so far, there are some on the play list i haven't placed yet and i am open to any suggestion, please comment with the youtube link to songs and I will have a listen and see if i can use them. 

There's an interesting thought is my new blogger layout considered progress on my next book? Probably not! But I have spent like 7 weeks with writers block so a grand total of about 20 lines in 7 weeks has been written! Saw Craig at his wedding last week, Congrats Craig and Laura! He wants the first draft by the 14th Feb 2015, so I best pull my finger out!
 New play list for the production of ideas has been created, I am sure more songs will be added between now and first draft. If you know of any good angsty dark songs, drop me a comment as i would like to hear some to help propel a scene in You and Me. Back at work in 7 days, I so need to get some writing done before I am too knackered to think about it! 

Hi Guys,
 I hope you are all well, book two has at the moment hit a brick wall and i am struggling to get over it so You and me maybe be delayed a little but I am pleased to say that A Shot To nothing is up and running, so who knows which book will land first!

I am blogging about something totally different though I am putting myself to the ultimate challenge of spinning 250 miles for diabetes uk over 7 days, if 250 miles is hit before 7 days is up I will continue to spin for the full 7 days so who knows what the miliage could be! now here is for the big ask, please could sponsor me? as little or as much as you can literally every penny helps. If you do it online and if you pay tax please tick gift aid so the tax man has to put his hand in his pocket! Thanks

Oh my Gosh, I cannot believe how long it has been since i last bored you all to death with a post.
I hope everyone has had a great Christmas. I wasn't really looking forward to it a sit was the first without my dad, but it wasn't as bad as I expected, my inner kid took over.

I just want to thank everyone who has purchased and bought the book on amazon, I have entered it in to a competition with Richard and Judy, which means I have had to change some names. I really hope that Richard a Judy like the book, it not really the type of book that would be entered into a competition but with this year being the turning point for erotic novels, there is no reason it can't do well.

So I am on with book 2 now and I am just finishing off the chapter that leads into what i have got hand written. I have replaced Ian with Xander although I am not totally sure I like Xander as a name for him but for now it stays. The book was going to be called you and Me but now I am unsure on that as well. So who knows its all change.

So I just want to wish you all a fantastic new year and I hope that 2014 will be a million times better that 2013.

First question should be who has bought it?
I don't really know how it is doing sales wise, its hard to keep tack on amazon sales but according to Amazon e-books I am ranked 95,739 I have gone up a thousand since it went up so I can't complain. Would like to at least get top 100. Book 2 is in the works and that is where my focus is right now. So I am signing off the blog for tonight to get some written.

You can now download Can't Catch tomorrow on Amazon for Kindle and android devices. Kobo also has the book and I am working on Nook and I books. The hard copy of the book will be coming to Amazon and create space book store as soon as it is checked.

Its all very exciting and I can't wait to read what you guys think to it.

The website is up and running, yes its in its infancy but its there and I would be so honoured if it you guys would give it a visit.

Also going to nag again about followers, I would love to have a few more and comments too!

Thanks in advance.

It's finished! The editing is finally done and now i have added a little more tension the ending doesn't need changing. Now to unresolve a section and then its time to choose how I am going to get this book to you guys!

Can't Catch tomorrow will be coming to a kindle near you in no time, I promise!

Happy days!!!!!!

Just 9 more pages to edit, then need to finish my tracking of drama highs and lows in the book (its all colour coded). Then to unresolve some drama in the book to make it more tense. Then I can upload it to kindle, so very excited. If i carry on being unwell this week I might get it all finished!

I really can't wait for you all to read this book, its been my life for 6 years. I promise book 2 won't take that long to write, is almost half done and book 3 has hit 12 pages! So well on my way to hoping you all like my saucy chick lit!

Really shouldn't be feeling this excited when i am feeling this sick! 

Is that a sign my edited book is almost done? I do love my new story but i am only four pages in and i seem to only be able to write it, while wired up to the script. Must remember i have a sequel to can't catch tomorrow to finish.
The joys of being a creative, its all hit me heavy since getting my course work in. So here is to 8 weeks of writing heaven. Can't catch tomorrow will be with you mid August. Once i get hold of Craig to help with the ending.

Sorry there has been silence from me for a while. College work has been insanely mad, but I am almost there with it and then I can dedicate myself to the book. As I have ideas for the next one!

I am in that stage of editing where I hate the ending. I think most writers must get it as I've read amazing books and then been so disappointed with the ending! So this has happened to me, its weak and if I read it i sure as hell wouldn't buy book 2! As I want you all to buy book 2 I need to rewrite the end. So I need Craig to batter it out with to work on making it better.

So there is the quick update, I best get on with my assignment i am determined to have it handed in tomorrow evening! So that i can spend next week working on my teaching file.

Hi Guys

As you know I lost my dad, who i loved dearly and without whom life will not ever be the same again! But His death has inspired me to get this damn book finished. So I have 10 pages to go before I need Craig to deliver the remainder of the edits! I am dedicating this book to my dad. He supported no matter how crazy my ideas where!

The edits go on!

I have to admit i have done no editing at all. My dad passed away on Saturday night and it feels surreal. I am focused on the facts at the moment and anger at how he was treated in hospital.
Now i have set the challenge to constantly make my dad proud. So i do need to crack on with the editing. Getting my book published would have made my dad so proud. So i need to achieve that for him.

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, its been a crazy couple of weeks. I have my assignment in on Monday and its no where near finished! (stress).

I can't wait to get it out the way although its only another 4 weeks until the next one is in, so I hope that I will get a bit of a chance to do some more editing.

I want to give a bit of exposure to my friend Abigail who is designing my book cover for me, so check out Abigail's website here Abigail Warren

Will be blogging the moment this stupid assignment is over and done with, all i can say is good riddance to it, its been the bane of the last 4 weeks!

Its got to the stage in editing process now, where i can't see the wood for the trees! My friend Abigail is going to design me a book, which will be amazing. I have to have something abstract on the cover.

I think a book cover sells a book, lots of people will buy because a book cover looks good, so the old don't judge a book by its cover, idea doesn't always stand true! I best crack on with my Blurb for Abigail and I will then have a fantastic book cover!

Blurbs are the hardest things in the world to write!

Happy New year guys! Hope you all had a happy and safe New Years eve, and that you're not suffering to much the morning after.

So here we all are hoping that 2013 will be a million times better than 2012. I am hoping that it will, could do with a bit more luck than I have had in the past few years. Here is to hoping that all you guys have a great 2013 and all the writers out there get a book out to the public. Can't catch tomorrow tomorrow will be with you very soon in 2013, in both book form and in ebook form!

When you're a writer you find yourself googling some really weird stuff. In the past 6 months my google search has had everything from other words for cock to sex positions when pregnant. There has been other stuff as well and it makes me wonder. If anyone was to look at your google search history what the hell would they think? I am pretty sure the first thought they had wouldn't be, oh this person is a writer.

If I was someone looking at my search history, I would be deeply worried. Especially for my research for book two, as that is a little darker than this one, so as you would expect the google searches are darker.

If the cops come knocking I am not sure that but I'm writing a book would cover it!

Merry Christmas Bloggers, I hope you all had a fantastic day and that Santa brought you everything you asked for. Along with health, happiness and family joy!

I have to say the book editing has come to a bit of a stop at the moment, dad went into hospital on Friday night and my head has been filled with other stuff, but he's on the mend now. Although being with out him today has been really difficult, we saw him this morning but it just wasn't the same!

You really don't realise what you have until its gone, he is coming home for the New Year we believe so I am hoping , that I can now focus on getting the book fully edited. Well up to what Craig has given me back. He tells me that he has almost done the full edit.  So 2013 the book will be out!!! So exicting
