Yay!
Sorry, just a little excited. My book released this week. I wonder if that makes me feel better about not having written any fan fic like like a year or whatever it's been now....
*thinks really hard*
Nope. I still suck. But I'm excited to see so many people writing again! Is it the summer break you think? Or is the the tour tha's caused all the inspiration lately?
-
Congrats again!
-
For me, it's the tour AND summer break. I have NO idea how I'm going to keep writing once school starts again...I work full time and I'll be going to school 3/4 time. If I ever want to see my husband I think I'm going to have to stop writing. :'(
-
BTW...congratu lations on getting published!!!
-
YAY Kelly! That's wonderful news! Congrats...big time! :D
-
Congratulation s, Kelly! It's so awesome! You don't need to write fanfic when you're a published author! (Though I wish you still would. :))
It could be the tour, but it's definitely more summer vacation for me. Having lots of time and few other commitments or things to stress me out is huge.
-
Congratulation s Kelly, I'm hoping I can get your book somewhere here because I love your writing!
-
Awesome Congrats hun!! 8-)
-
What's your book called? I'll check it out next time I'm at Borders. :)
I think more people are writing because it's summer. I know I stop writing when I'm swamped with homework and regular work and life in general. Although I'll admit for me it was also the tour, I started writing while I was sitting in the chair waiting for the concert in Boston to start, lol. ;D
-
I didn't answer your question about writing. For me it was definintely seeing them in concert that caused the inspiration, even though it didn't really work the last time they were on tour. That and I think regaining my freedom. A combo of them both.

The book is called Being Jamie Baker by Kelly Oram!
The new website is up and running now. It's till beingjamiebake r.com it just has stuff up on it now. Including the whole first chapter and a book trailer. The links are all on the website, but I can post them here too...
Book website: http://www.BeingJamieBaker.com (http://www.BeingJamieBaker.com)
Book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQLtkV7G6cE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQLtkV7G6cE)
Paperback edition (and kindle edition coming soon): http://www.amazon.com/Being-Jamie-Baker-Kelly-Oram/dp/0615377548/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278349140&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Being-Jamie-Baker-Kelly-Oram/dp/0615377548/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278349140&sr=8-1)
All other eBook formats: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/17089 (http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/17089)
Unfortunately the book won't ever really be in the physical stores since it was a print-on-demand deal. You have to order it online. But soon it should be available at most major retailers in their online stores.
I'm hoping that now that it's finally out there, I can hang up my Jamie gloves and get back to writing something else. I have been doing a little writing, but not too much considering summer for me just means more work instead of a nice fat break. I might be one of the few people on this site who looks forward to school starting in the fall!
-
Although I can't buy the book (because it's not on Amazon.co.uk), I think I could get the Ebook :) Will have a look on payday if it's available here!
-
Wow, congratulation s! That's wonderful!
-
Congrats!!! That is so exciting!!! :) :) :)
And I'm not sure about the writing surge. I guess for most people it is summer break. I'm taking summer classes, so I can't say that I've gotten to write more lately. Well, I am writing, but its 3 page essays several times a week instead of fun writing! Haha.
-
:( I was going to buy it but since it's not amazon.ca they want to charge me a stupid amount for shipping.
-
Wooot! Go Kelly! :bighug:
Ooh can this mean Fan Fiction may come back to life? I wanna see more of us die lmao.
-
Congrats Kelly!!
-
I read the 1st chapter! Its good so far! I'll have to order a copy when I get some extra $$ :) Congrats again!!
-

Have I killed you Rose?
-
So so so happy for you!!! I need to order my copy, it will be my first time to read it too!!!

Sorry it's taken me forever to respond to this, ladies. Three more weeks till school starts and I can get some of my sanity back!!!
Anyway, the book is now available on both Canada and the UK amazon sites! I think they're working to get it up in Australia and New Zealand too. Hehe I'm international! (I'm also on sale for 10 % off right now at Barns and noble online. I feel so cheap!)
Thanks everyone for the congrats! I'm having fun with it!
-
Yay! I bought it. It wasn't in stock, but they said it would ship as soon as it's available :) I will have to get the author to sign it some day :P
-
Okay I just got paid so I ordered it I should get it 7/22 :-D
-
*blushes* thanks guys.
It kind of weirds me out when people tell me they bought it. My friend brought her copy to our book club the other night and made me sign it for her in front of everyone. It was so strange. I don't know how authors do book signings.
And lol some dude named John read it and rated it 4 out of 5 stars on goodreads. (not someone I know) I'm not sure what possesses a man to purchase a bright pink teen romance novel in the first place, much less enjoy it, but hey... more power to him I guess. It sure made my day. :D

I'll have to come visit you so I can sign it one day!
-
I'll have to go and order it from Amazon.co.uk if it's on there now :) Can't wait to read it!
-
I really did love the preview chapter of this book that was up on the website... And I got a Barnes and Noble GC for my birthday. I looked on their website the other day, and they finally had a real book listed, not just the ebook, so now I can order it and read the rest. :)
-
I guess in all the back to school craziness, I never posted about it, but I got my copy toward the end of summer and finally read the whole thing (I'd read the first couple chapters when it was still online), and I loved it! I loaned it to my mom to read next; she's a school librarian, so I'm gonna have her order a copy for the library for her junior high kids to enjoy. Congratulation s again, Kelly!
