Memories from the Miami Book Fair and The Countdown to New Moon

Hey Everyone,

So I spent the weekend at the Miami Book Fair in the amazing city that is Miami. This was my first book fair and I have to admit it was kind of awesome. I got to meet some pretty amazing authors like Meg Cabot who of course wrote ‘The Princess Diaries’ among other books and I also met Ben H Winters who co authored ‘Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters’

I also made some great contacts for my own books so hopefully I’ll be releasing another book before you know it (fingers crossed). I learnt a lot about what it takes to be a successful author and I loved connecting with all the different authors/publishers/magazines etc. I wanted to film one of my writing tips YouTube videos at the Fair but much to my dismay my video camera died! But have no fear I still did my Writing Tip video and it should be up on YouTube within the next couple of days. All in all the Miami Book Fair was amazing and I hope to be one of the featured authors there one day.

Now I have a confession to make I am so excited for the New Moon movie! I am not excited because of Edward, Bella or the Cullen’s, I am actually really excited to see Jacob be the leading man and taking his shirt off for the most of the move isn’t a bad thing either :p I will be at the movies at midnight to see New Moon and I have a feeling as soon as Jacob comes on the screen there will be many teenage girls screaming with joy. I will infact contain myself and not scream at a cinema screen because unlike many teenage girls I know that even if I screamed at the screen Jacob is not going to jumped out of that screen and suddenly be right in front on me. Anyhow what about you? Do you love or hate New Moon and are you watching it at Midnight? Either way let me know.



Finally I had an idea for my blog, since I am a best selling author and I love to read, I was thinking about doing book reviews. Not really longwinded ones just quick fun reviews about books people either give me or I am just reading for fun. I was thinking about doing this on the last Friday of every month and calling it ‘The Friday Review’ (creative I know ) but let me know what you think of that idea. Love it? Hate it? Or if you have a book you think I should review please let me know =]

Okay so until next time leave comments have fun and if like me you’re watching New Moon on the 20th be considerate of your fellow movie goers and try not to scream at the screen too much (but grinning like a Cheshire cat is perfectly acceptable).

God Bless,

Britains Got Talent Winner, Orlando Magic Through to the Finals and New Moon Trailer. I am so excited!

Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, life got kind of crazy but now I have some catching up to do. Okay so on the final of Britains Got Talent, Julian Smith, Susan Boyle and Diversity were the top three acts. Now most of America was expecting Susan to win such she'd had such an amazing following over the last couple of months but the British Public shocked the world when they voted for Diversity to win!

Diversity are an amazing group of talented dancers who perform the most creative dances you've ever seen. You can look them up on YouTube just put in Britains Got Talent Diversity and you'll be able to see their audition, semi final and final performance. Although Susan Boyle was Amazing, I do believe Diversity deserved the win and I truly hope both Susan and Diversity go on to do great things.

Now in more local news (well for me anyway) my home team the Orlando Magic became the NBA Eastern Champs this past week when we beat the Cavillers and LeBron James! It was a crazy night here in Orlando, fans spilled out from the Amway Arena out into the streets of downtown Orlando. The police had to close the streets down because every road was full of crazy happy Orlando Magic fans. So the Orlando Magic and the city of Orlando is on a high as we move towards the finals with the L.A Lakers. Its kinda funny actually because my brother lives in L.A and I am in Orlando so we're both rooting for the two different teams =] But I think Orlando can win and it would be such a boost for the city, I am supporting the Magic all the way and I hope we win the series. GO MAGIC!


The final thing I am going to blog about today is pretty awesome. So just this morning I woke up, grabbed a muffin and orange juice, I sat down at my computer, opened up Myspace and there it was in all its glory. The new official Trailer for New Moon! I am beyond excited for the second movie in the Twilight Saga and now I've seen the trailer I am even more excited! I wanted you guys to see the trailer as well so here it is, enjoy!

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer


May I just say Taylor looks really good (Selena is a lucky girl :P) and the way he morphs into his werewolf self is pretty awesome. They did a really good job on making it look real. So on November 10th at midnight I will be watching New Moon and loving every minute of it. What about you guys any plans to see New Moon?

I hope you guys liked this post, I know its full of random things but I had a lot of catching up to do so please let me know what you think and I will be posting again soon apart from next time, the post will be all about a new project of mine,

Until next time,

God Bless,

Cute Couple Alert: Selena Gomez and Taylor Lautner

So no one really knows if Selena and Taylor are actually a couple or are just hanging out but either way teenage girls everywhere have accepted them as the new it couple and they already have a name, Taylena,


Isn't that adorable? Of course being a fan of the Twilight series and a huge fan of Jacob Black, I did want Taylor for myself but if I have to give him up for someone I suppose Selena will do lol:P.



No but seriously I saw the photo of them about a week ago and they just looked so cute and happy. Then I read how they'd been hanging out and visiting each other on set and I was like awwwww. If they are dating they will be a total power couple in young hollywood and if they're just friends then thats cool two after all that leaves Taylor for me lol :p but I think they might just have something together.



And that was my random blog post for today, thanks for reading and God Bless,
