Good Morning Everyone- I am super excited to have the brilliant Kyra Lennon and her Game On Blog Tour stop here today! For any of you who don't know Kyra let me tell you a little something about her- she's amazing!
Kyra is encouraging, kind and such a huge asset to the writer community. I would be remiss if I failed to mention how she really gets around- COMMENTING- Get your minds out of the gutter people, LOL! Seriously, you would be hard pressed to find someone who comments more on the blog-o-sphere (except for Alex Cavanaugh- but the Ninja Captain is in a category all by himself, am I right? )
If you haven't read Kyra's debut novel Game On, don't wait another second-please go get it right now!! It is hilarious, flirty, clever and a ton of fun to read. I absolutely loved it. The links to purchase Game On are included below. Here's what Kyra decided to share with us today. It's a little snippet from her character Jesse, enjoy!
Sometimes I wonder if parents remember
that they were young once too. I’m pretty sure that when they were
eighteen years old, they hated their own parents firing questions at
them about what time they’d be home, where they’d been, and who
they were with. I don’t even live with them now, they thought I was
mature enough to get my own apartment, but somehow, they still want
to know all the small stuff that goes on in my life.
My parents are amazing, and my little
sister is … well, she’s not so bad as little sisters go. But
aren’t I entitled to a little freedom now? I get that they’re
worried. Jumping from obscurity right into the spotlight of the
Westberg Warriors would scare anyone. It still scares me. But I can
handle it, I really can.
I think they’re biggest problem is
with my girl. They try hard to look as if they like Taylor, but my
mom always has this weird expression in her eyes when she sees her,
like she thinks Taylor’s going to trample all over me. She’s not
like that. She’s … well, she’s hot! But she’s sweet too. She
was real shy at first, but she fits in well with my team mates’
girlfriends, especially Bree Collinson. But most of all, Taylor fits
with me, and I am old enough to decide who I date, where I go and
what time I come home for myself.

Game On Synopsis
After swapping her small town life to work
for one of the top soccer teams in the U.S, Leah Walker thought she could
finally leave the ghosts of her past behind. However, when she meets serial
womanizer, Radleigh McCoy, the memories of her old life come swarming back, and
she is forced to ask herself whether she has really changed at all.
Aww, thanks you so much for having me, and for the kind words! I giggled when you mentioned that I get around - comment-wise! LOL! <3
ReplyDeleteNo problem Kyra, I was thrilled to be able to do it for you.
