The Game Changer Synopsis

Here is sneak peak at the PARTIAL synopsis for the upcoming Game Changer! 
Remember... Jack will be here on JUNE 25th!!!  Almost a month away!  WOO HOO!  :) 

During June i'll be doing all sorts of fun games and giveaways, so make sure you come back to the blog, as well as the Facebook page!  Haven't liked my facebook page yet?  Head on over-  i'm chatty.  :)   www.facebook.com/TheRealJSterling 

PS- I have no idea why I said i'd be playing "games" online. Um, we're not playing any games. But I will be having giveaways to celebrate TGC and MORE JACK F'N CARTER!  But really... no games.  lol

In Dreams Update!

Just what the heck do I keep doing to my debut novel, In Dreams, you ask?!  *shakes my head*
I know, I know... I just can't quit it!  :/

But really- here's the deal.  ID was my very first book. I love the story, I love the message, but it's hard for me to read it at this point in my career.  It was even harder for me to read it two months ago! (it was in piss-poor shape and I have no one to blame but myself)

It's been re-written, re-edited, re-worked, re-designed, re-formatted, re-EVERYTHING'ed!  The story is still the same.
Let me repeat that for everyone who keeps asking me...
the story is still the same. 
same. 
story. 
same. 
characters. 

There are no major plot changes AT ALL in these rewrites.

"Then what the hell did you even do to it, jenn?"

*sticks out tongue*

Well, my editor and I worked to add in more depth to the story. There's a lot more description (I swear to you there were pages of NOTHING but dialogue. I cringed when I read it lol) and the bottom line is-  it simply reads better... it's cleaner.  It's more well rounded.  It's just a better read. 

The NEW version should be LIVE on all platform within the next 24-48 hours.  And i'll be in contact with Amazon to send out an email to everyone who purchased ID in the past, so that you can upload the new version if you want.  Sometimes that takes a long time for them to do, so bear with me. 

So that's it. I'm officially moving on from In Dreams!  I know I still owe you Before the Dreams-  but it's most likely going to be a novella. I'm trying to finish it for y'all, but truth?  It's really hard to write.  My head's in such a different place (ahem, jack f'n carter-land) and it's hard to focus on these characters. 

I'll leave you with the new cover (can we please just mention the fact that this is the THIRD cover for this book?  yeah. three.  tres. clearly, I have control issues)... It's the same couple from the original cover(s), which includes my hot nephew, but I took this pic I think over 3 years ago now!  SHEESH!  So old!  lol My cover designer Michelle (www.facebook.com/IndieBookCovers) did a fantastic job. Again. Per usual. She designs ALL my covers because she's amazing, talented, patient and kind.  :) 

Alright.. i'm shutting up now!  You're all caught up.  I'm crazy. I can't leave things well enough alone.  And oh yeah...

47 DAYS UNTIL THE GAME CHANGER COMES OUT!

I'm coming... to your city!

Well.

Only if you live in the cities i'm coming to that is. Cause if you don't, then I guess i'm not coming there. Which means this whole post is like false advertising in a way, right?  I suck. :/

Alright.. CAN YOU BELIEVE WE'RE ALREADY HALFWAY THROUGH APRIL?!?!!  Good lord people... Time. Simple. Flies. 

I want you all to know how much fun I've been having at all of our book signings lately. 
Look!  It's Molly McAdams, Jillian Dodd, Me and Cora Carmack!  It was my first time meeting Molly and Cora-and let me tell you.. they are just as awesome as you think they are!!!  :)

Jillian is always my partner in crime during these events, so this picture really shouldn't shock you. What should shock you is the SIZE OF THIS FREAKING COTTON CANDY!  I MEAN, RIGHT?!?!?!?!

As much as I love my fellow authors (and believe me when I tell you that I DO), you readers are the whole reason why we do this in the first place. Why we set up these meet and greets and fly across the country to see you. I, for one, appreciate you so much.  And I flipping LOVE meeting you all! You're amazing.  Thank you for always coming out, waiting in long lines and then being so excited to meet us. I swear i'm just as excited as you are!!  :) 

You let me work out my thigh muscles so that I can be the same height as you in all our pics together!

And  you let me throw your head into my non existent boobs just for funsies!

 

















You also bring flat people for me to molest!  Which is fun for the whole family folks!  *swoon* Flat Fred *swoon*

Truth is, I really enjoy meeting you guys. I love hearing how much you love the stories I write, how in love with Jack F'n Carter y'all are, how you are dying for the next book, etc etc.  You make me feel SO GOOD about what I do! 

SO THANK YOU!!!!  :)

And to everyone else- here's what's coming up for the rest of the year!  So if you can get there, COME! 

June 15th- SAN FRANCISCO
June 29th- ORLANDO
August 17th- LAS VEGAS

WOOHOO! 

 

Countdown to The Game Changer and a Giveaway!

The Game Changer is coming out in two months people!  TWO! MONTHS! I know you all hate waiting, but it will fly by and be here before you know it and then we'll all be sad that we aren't looking forward to it anymore. Right?!  That's how I felt about Reckless by S.C. Stephens!  Counting down like crazy... waiting, waiting, waiting.. and then BOOM!
It was here.
And now it's gone.
And it's sad. 
(I love you Shannon)

Anyway, I've started celebrating!  Why?  Because i'm really freaking excited! :) And I also want to showcase some talent I've come across since writing The Perfect Game (I love supporting people who are working hard to create their own businesses and become their own boss! You go girls)!  :) 

The first rule of business? I've put TPG on sale for .99 cents for this weekend only (April 12-14)!  Let's get some hype going for the next book!!!!  WOO HOO!!!  See? I told you I was excited.  lol

To share in all the fun, I've decided to have a giveaway. There is a rafflecopter thingy - mabob at the end of this post where you can tweet, facebook, gift a copy of TPG to your friend, pre-order the game changer, like Bzbisdakbiz (that's who made the prizes) on Facebook,  etc. 

And then you'll be entered to win 1 of 4 prizes!  There are FOUR winners total (maybe more if I go crazy by Monday morning).  You can win:

A Perfect Game Inspired Keychain!  I have this on my keys and I freaking LOVE it!  And everyone who sees it thinks it's the cutest thing ever!!!

 

A Perfect Game Inspired Charm Bracelet. It's so cool, with all sorts of charms to represent Jack & Cassie individually, as well as together.  <3 this!
