Hi, Emma, I've sent it, if it didn't make it through, let me know and I'll resend it.

That's great! I'm so happy you loved it. I'll get the next lot out to you in 2-3 days, depending on how fast I can work, hopefully on the quicker side.

Beta Reading is now closed for THE CHEAT (Episode 1), it's now with an editor, so I don't need anymore beta readers for this book. The first chapters of THE CHEERLEADER (Episode 2) have been sent out to the beta readers who finished THE CHEAT. If you haven't finished THE CHEAT and still want to do beta reading for me, I'll have other books coming out. I will also be doing ARCs for THE CHEAT, so once the book tour is up you can sign up for an ARC. Anyway, thanks for everyone's interest, I really appreciate it!

I've sent you all the first two chapters of THE CHEERLEADER! Hope you like it, though, there might be some grammar issues, but that'll get sorted once the editor gets a hold of it. BTW, my editor is currently going through THE CHEAT and she likes it so far. I'm very happy, because she's brutally honest (it's a relative, so she doesn't go soft if she doesn't like something). She's only fixed some grammar/typos so far. She said the story is good, so hasn't suggested any changes there :)

Sorry! I'm running a bit late with sending the first lot of The Cheerleader out. I've got my fingers crossed I'll get it to you all by the end of tomorrow. It'll be the first two chapters.

The Cop? Tell me more ;)"

:) I'm halfway through writing The Cop, but it definitely reveals some surprising information about Riley, plus Sherrif Greene is an interesting character. He'll be on the cover.

I couldn't imagine in a million years that Lucy's mom was spying on Riley like that.

I've devoured these chapters as soon as they've shown up on ..."

Thanks, Savannah, it's an episode (TV-like) series, so each of the books will be about the same size, Once I have 5 episodes they will be put into a collection, which will be like a large book.

Then you'll be thrown even more by The Cheerleader, lol. That book gets really messy.

Savannah wrote: "I feel like a pervert. LOL

I don't usually read books with high school characters who have sex because it makes me feel uncomfortable, but while I was reading these two chapters I was left wantin..."

Thanks, Savannah :) I'll make sure people know it's an R18 book, Dark NA, since the characters are 18 or older. Though, in The Cop you'll get the point of view of an adult for the first time, the sherrif in particular. A lot of surprising secrets start coming out.

The Cheerleader's cover is now up.

I've got the photo for The Cheerleader. I'll make the cover over the weekend so it'll be ready for Chapters 1 and 2, which will be sent out together. I also found the cover image for The Cop (Episode 3) :)

Savannah wrote: "Waiting for these chapters."

I'll go send them now.

Savannah wrote: "I read the four chapters in a row because I just couldn't stop.
This story is totally different from what we are used to reading.
Heroin is impressive. Risky, brave and creative.
Hero is super s..."

Thanks, Savannah! :)

I've changed the series' name from CONCUSSION to PLAYED since it suits it better.

That's great! I'm happy you liked it :) The following episodes definitely throw in some curve balls you won't expect.

Some changes to the episode line up:

THE CHEAT (Episode 1) - Name confirmed.
THE CHEERLEADER (Episode 2) - Name confirmed.
THE COP (Episode 3) - Name to be confirmed.
THE CORPSE (Episode 4) - Name to be confirmed.

☺~Tina~☺ wrote: "I’m interested in all 3 parts please, thanks!"

Great!

☺~Tina~☺ wrote: "I’m interested in The Cheerleader also."

Cool! I'll probably start sending it out on Monday since I'm writing The Cop at the moment, a name change from The Corpse, which might become book 4 now.

The Cheat's beta reading will be closing in the next few days since the story will be passed on for editing. I will start sending The Cheerleader out to anyone that's interested, though you will need to have read The Cheat to be part of that beta reading team since The Cheerleader is episode 2 in the series.

I've sent the final chapters of The Cheat to everyone that's commented they're up to date. I will be passing on The Cheat to the editor soon, and will be starting to send out The Cheerleader (episode 2) to anyone that wants to continue reading Concussion (the serial's name).
