A Stop in the Game On Blog Tour

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity today to highlight Kyra Lennon on one of her blog tour stops for her debut novel Game On. Today she is sharing what she's got coming next. Take it away, Kyra!

I never planned for Game On to become a series. In fact, I was doubtful there would even be a sequel when I typed “The End,” on the completed story. It was partly thanks to April’s A-Z Challenge that I decided to keep writing about the characters I created. I used A-Z to introduce my blog friends to the Game On cast, and they were so popular, I didn’t want to let them go! One of my awesome CPs, Morgan Shamy http://morganshamy.blogspot.co.uk/ was one of the first to  mention that I could do a series of books from some of the main characters, and after putting some thought into it, I realized it is a brilliant idea. They all have stories to tell, so why let them remain untold?

I know Game On has only just been released, but I (at the time of writing this) am three quarters of the way through writing the next book! This one will focus on the young soccer player, Jesse Shaw, and follows him off season as he goes to England with his best friend, Hunter. Without giving too much away, I’ll say there is lots of fun, followed by a large amount of danger when a “prank” gets out of hand. My plan, if I can get it together, is to release the book at the end of this year, in time for Christmas which is when the story is set. Wish me luck!

Following Jesse’s story, there will be books told from the POV of Freya, Bree and then back to Leah to finish off. I hope you continue to enjoy seeing their lives unfold as much as I enjoy writing them!

Thanks so much, Kyra, for sharing with me today.

Are you a follower of Kyra's? Is this your first time hearing about Game On? At this point, I seriously doubt it. Game On is circulating all over the blogosphere. I've got my copy; do you have yours?

  2. I know the feeling very well of being so inspired by the same 'circle of friends' that are your characters in one book. It happened to me too with a series of mine :) I'm excited to see where all the stories go, Kyra!

    Thanks for hosting Kyra today, Michael :)

  4. Kyra, I know the feeling! I never planned on writing more than one book on the Cassa universe. Funny how that happens, isn't it?

  6. Trisha – Thanks! It is so hard to let the characters go once you form a connection with them!
    Clare – Thank you! I have lots and lots of plans!
    Alex J.Cavanaugh – It sure is strange, but the characters just wouldn’t go away lol!
    Scribbles From Jenn – Lol, I just finished the second book over the weekend! It took a lot of hard work, but I will be taking things easier now for the rest of the year. :D

  8. Series really lend well to sports-themed romance. Have you ever read Rachel Gibson's hockey series? Good luck, Kyra! :)

    P.S. Hi, Michael!
