YOU GUYS!!!!!!
YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
Can you hear me YELLING?!?!??!?!? :)
The Perfect Game has sold over 100,000 copies!!!!!
One. Hundred. Thousand. Copies.
*please send some hot guy over with a fan and grapes cause i'm about to faint*
Just shy of being released for 3 months and we've reached this HUGE milestone! I'm so flipping blown away. I have never been here before! I've never been anywhere close to this before so I'm at a loss for words. (not really, it's just that The Game Changer is taking all my words at the moment).
I wanted to celebrate because this truly is a freaking enormous event for a self published author. Hell, I think it's an enormous event for ANY author. :)
So I was sitting here this morning, trying to thing of a way that I could THANK all of my readers. I thought about doing another giveaway but quickly tossed that idea aside. I'm sorry, but too many giveaways start to feel disingenuous and like i'm trying to buy your readership. Which I totally am, dur. :)
Then I realized that the perfect way to tell you all THANK YOU would be for me to post another teaser from the upcoming follow up book, The Game Changer!
Right?!
RIGHT!!!!!!
So here you go:
(and by the way, THANK YOU SO MUCH for reading my book. And for telling other people to read it. I know it probably seems like I say that a lot- or say the same things over and over again, but it's just that you don't understand. The only way I can do something as freaking unbelievable as this... is with YOU. Because you read it and loved it and then told your friends to buy it- i'm in this place. This amazing, beautiful, mind blowing place. So yeah, I may thank you a lot. I may say thank you for the word of mouth. For writing reviews on Amazon. For telling people on Goodreads to give the book a chance. For gifting copies of it to your friends. For posting about it on Facebook. For tweeting on Twitter. For ALL OF IT. Hell yes I tell you THANK YOU a lot. Because I mean it. Because I am thankful. And because you guys are the best freaking readers in the whole entire world and I FLIPPING APPRECIATE YOU. Okay? Okay. :)
So here you go!
TEASER #2 from THE GAME CHANGER- Coming Someday in the Future lol
I closed my eyes, drinking in his
vow. Part of me cringed, acknowledging the vulnerability that coursed within me.
I needed to be stronger than this. But as much as I wanted to believe that Jack's mistake with Chrystle was a one time major screw up, I’d be lying to myself if
I said I wasn’t fearful.
I was.
And I wasn’t sure how not to be.
“Do you believe me?” he asked, his
expression filled with worry.
I fought back the tears that
formed in my eyes, “I want to.” I longed to bottle my anxiety up and put it on
a shelf where it only came out for special occasions, but I didn’t know how. Right
now it lived on the outside of my skin, like an extra layer of warmth I
couldn’t shed no matter how hot I became. My emotions had taken full
control over every other part of me. I’d become victim to my own insecurities.
“I’ll show you,” his forehead
pressed against mine as he continued. “I’ll never lose you again.”
“What if I want to be lost?” I teased
with a serious tone and watched as he pulled his head from mine.
“I won’t let you.”
“You won’t let me?” I mocked,
secretly loving the way he wanted me.
Jesus Cassie, you’re a fucking nutcase right now. Pick an emotion.
Pretend like you’re in charge here.
“No. I won’t let you. End of
discussion,” his mouth remained stoic.
“That wasn’t really what one would
consider a discussion.”
“Because there’s nothing to
discuss. I’m not leaving you ever again. And you’re not leaving me. No matter
how pissed off I make you, or how frustrated. I fucking love you and I’m not going
anywhere.”
I attempted to fight back the
smile that formed. “And I love you. But really, if you ever cheat on me again
I’ll cut your nuts off and hang them from the Empire State
Building .”
wooohoo congrats
