THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST ON BLOGGER PLEASE VISIT http://nrwalker.wordpress.com/FOR MY NEW SITE Blogger has decided to change it's "Adult content" policy, which has left me little option but to leave. :( The email I received, as did a lot of others, stated that any sites displaying links to 'adult products' would be deleted. The email, in its entirety reads:
You are receiving this message because you are the admin of a blog hosted on Blogger which is identified to have Adult content. Please be advised that on June 30th 2013, we will be updating our Content Policy to strictly prohibit the monetization of Adult content on Blogger. After June 30th 2013, we will be enforcing this policy and will remove blogs which are adult in nature and are displaying advertisements to adult websites. If your adult blog currently has advertisements which are adult in nature, you should remove them as soon as possible as to avoid any potential Terms of Service violation and/or content removals. Sincerely, The Blogger Team
My concern is that they will view gay erotica as an 'adult product' and while I can delete pics they may deem 'inappropriate' I can't, and won't, delete links or information on my books. Soooo, where does that leave me?? Wordpress is where. My new-look blog site ishttp://nrwalker.wordpress.com/ So please head on over and check it out!! I hope to see you there! It's still a work-in-progress, and I hope to sort it all out over the weekend. And a wee reminder, that Ten in the Bin, my little 12k football fic, will be out on the 1st of July <3
OH EM GEEEEEE So today was a good day for Blindside!
And this one, too...
Getting to Number One on both sites on the same day is so amazing, and humbling and amazing, and brilliant and amazing. The incredible part is, Blindside makes 3 from 3. Blind Faith, Through These Eyes, and now Blindside, have all reached the awesome Number 1 (on Amazon) milestone. And it just proves one thing... I HAVE THE BEST READERS ON THE PLANET. It's true.
I just wanted to say thank you, to all who've supported me, and these boys. It really means more than what 'thank you' can convey. To mark this epic occasion, I'll be giving away an ebook copy of Blindside! Please just leave a comment below, and on Monday 6pm (Sydney AEST) I'll pick a random winner! And one more final gif, because Sheldon Cooper doing Star Trek is just too damn much :)
Blindside at Smashwords Blindside at Amazon Blindside is the third installment in the Blind Faith series. We met Mark in Blind Faith and Through These Eyes. Best friend to Carter; loyal, funny and commitment-phobe, he's about to be blindsided by love. The poor guy won't know what's hit him. I'm really excited about this book. Hope you all love Mark and Will like I do <3 I need to thank some people for making it happen. Sara York for the amazing cover, Erika Orrick for the fabulous job she did editing (I exposed her to my bloody comma addiction) and of course, Will Parkinson for encouraging (read: pestering) me to give Mark a story.
I've been a bit of a blog fail, sorry. Real life has kind of buried me of late. I have a beautiful cover for Blindside!!! Made by the oh-so talented Sara York.
I'm hoping it will be released in the next few days. It is still with my editor at the moment, but as soon as I have it back, I'll be uploading it to Amazon. Mark is a great character. He was fun to write. His mother is hilarious and possibly one of my favourite supporting characters I've written.
Mark's mother, Susan
Mark's relationship with Will is a little complicated. They're best friends, and Mark learnt with Carter, that staying platonic with friends keeps the friendship in tact. He never thought of Will as anything more than a friend because he valued his friendship too much.
Will Parkinson
But things for Will are about to change. He becomes unsettled and unhappy, and Mark remembers Carter being the same way before he moved to Boston. Scared of losing Will to the same fate, Mark takes it upon himself to find Will a reason to stay. A boyfriend. What Mark doesn't realize, is that the wheels he sets in motion will change things forever. Mark gets knocked off his feet, blindsided, and everything he thought about love and life, is about to come crashing down. Mark's song is Out on The Town by FUN. The lyrics, posted below, sum him up perfectly.
Lyrics to 'Out on the town' ... I set all my regrets on fire Cause I know I'll never take the time To unpack my missteps and call all of my friends, I figure they would take your side. I make the bed, just not that well. Your name comes up a lot when I talk to my mom, Oh I think she can tell...
I was out on the town so I came to your window last night. I tried not to throw stones, but I wanted to come inside. Now I'm causing a scene thinking you need a reason to smile. Oh, no. What have I done? There's no one to keep me warm.
So maybe I should put out the fire, I'll call them back and borrow a box knife So I could learn to live with all the stupid shit I've been doing since '99 And I know I could be more clever, And I know I could be more strong. But I'm waiting for the day to come back and say, Hey, maybe I should change my mind. I drink a lot, I'm not sure if that's new. But these days when I wake up from a night I forgot, I just wish that it never came true
I was out on the town so I came to your window last night. I tried not to throw stones, but I wanted to come inside. Now I'm causing a scene thinking you need a reason to smile. Oh, no. What have I done? There's no one to keep me warm. I could be more clever, And I know I could be more strong, And I know I could be more clever, And I know I could be more clever
I knew there'd come a day, When all was said and done, And everything I want is everything but gone All my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall. The bottles never break, the sun will never come So come on let me in. I will be the sun. I will wake you up. I'll move slow. Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart. I was out on the town so I came to your window last night. I tried not to throw stones, but I wanted to come inside. Now I'm causing a scene thinking you need a reason to smile. Oh, no. What have I done? There's no one to keep me warm.
I'll post some more news on the release of Blindside when I know more. As for now, I'm starting to write Starting Point (Point of No Return 3) and I can't wait to give these boys the proper HEA they deserve.
