Book Launch:One country girl is about to discover that fame can cost a fortune.
Talli Roland’s Watching Willow Watts is now available in ebook format. The paperback will be coming out in November. I bought a copy for my kindle last night and am already halfway through. I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I love the characters. They're all interesting and different. I love the escalating predicaments. I love that the story is set in the 'ugliest village in Britain'. Even my inner editor has stayed silent while reading this story and I love that.
Awards:
Thank you to Maeve Frazier for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Thank you to Gail Shepherd for the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award.
Thank you to Nancy Thompson for the 7x7 Link Award. For this award I’m supposed to link to what I feel is the most beautiful, popular, controversial, helpful, surpassingly successful, underrated and prideworthy posts. A daunting task to say the least. And so I decided to link to my favourite post which covers most of these: 14 Lies We Tell Ourselves about Writing
Have you read or plan to read Watching Willow Watts?
What lies do you tell yourself about writing?

congrats on so many awards, Lyndy! Well deserved :) go treat yourself with a chocolate :P
Congrats on your awards and congrats to Talli! I think the launch has been a big success.
I've read Willow and loved it! My review is already posted on Goodreads and Amazon. It's such a fun book and one of those you keep thinking about while not reading. Good luck to Talli on her new release!
Congratulations on the awards! I donwloaded my copy this evening.
Congratulations on the awards! :)
I hope to get the chance to read Watching Willow Watts. Talli Roland is awesome.
I plan to read Talli's book. I can't wait. Congrats on the awards.
Thanks everyone for your comments and support of Talli :)
And yes, Dezzy, I did treat myself to some chocolate (any excuse).
Karen, yes, I read your review. It was great! Totally agree.
Congrats on the award. It's really a nice one (I've already received it) that lets us showcase previous posts). I've read some really great that I'd missed earlier.
Sounds like a great read!
Yes, I plan to read WWW. Great list of writer lies. What's my lie? I can only write in the morning. But I've gotten over that one.
Congrats on the new release! I don't think I tell myself lies, but I do give myself words of encouragement. Is that the same? :)

Can Alex save Winter from the darkness that hunts her?
YA Paranormal Romance, Darkspell coming fall of 2011!
'Even my inner editor has stayed silent while reading this story and I love that.'
Quite the compliment.
I'm halfway through Willow Watts. And I also read The Hating Game. That was a great story and one I can see being made into a Rom Com movie.
ooo, I have it on my Kindle right now, and I can't stand it. But it has to wait... other MSs in line ahead of it~ :D <3
Thanks again for the comments. I really appreciate them.
Angelina, yep, I used to use that lie too ;)
Elizabeth, depends what kind of words of encouragement you use eg if you tell yourself you are so awesome that you don't need to edit your first draft, then that would be a lie ;)
LTM, yep, my reading list is enormous too.
Congrats to Talli, and congrats on the awards. The biggest lie I tell myself when writing is "you'll finish it one day" :P
Thanks for linking to that post. It was from before I followed you so I hadn't read it before. I may be guilty of a couple :-)
Huge congratulations with your awards!! And yay for Talli! Take care

Congrats on you awards.... Read WW and loved it. My review will be posted tomorrow.
Talli's book sounds so cute! I'm off to check out all the lies we tell ourselves as writers :)
Congrats on the award!
I'm going to have to get Talli's book now. It sounds great!
Yay for silent inner editors while reading!! I definitely have to check this book out if Lynda Young's inner editor is silenced. LOL
Congratulations on all the awards!!! I'm excited for Talli's book. One of these days I'll get my hands on a copy!

Congrats on the award! Hmm, I never lie to myself about my writing...just whisper sweet nothings. :)
A silent inner editor? That's a compliment! I look forward to reading this when the paperback comes out.
Congrats on the awards, and it sounds like Talli's book launch is going really well! Yay for her!
I'm off to check out your post about the 14 lies we tell ourselves!! Lol...
Jamie, you made me laugh at your biggest lie. I used to have that one. Then I gave myself schedules and goals and deadlines.
Sarah, oh great! I'm glad. I'm definitely guilty of more than just a couple ;)
Michael, I look forward to your review :)
Carol, seriously. My silly inner editor usually won't shut up.
Laila, hahaha I love it.
Thanks again to everyone who has commented.
Can't wait to read your 14 lies! Thanks for visiting my blog and the follow.
I'm reading Willow right now and loving it! Such a fun read :)
Love the cover. Sounds like an interesting story!
I look forward to reading Talli's book.
Congrats on the awards and I'll check out the 14 lies post.
Have a great weekend.
I am seeing Talli's book everywhere in Blogosphere. Congrats Talli. Wishing you lots of success.
Oh phew, I'm so glad you're enjoying it, Lynda! It's always an anxious experience when people you know are reading your work! I'm SO happy you're enjoying it! :) :)
Thank you so much for your support, and for helping to spread the word. And thanks to everyone here for their lovely comments. I'm so thrilled and grateful for all the help I've received!
Lynda - Thank you for the recommendation. Congratulations Talli!
Looking forward to your picks for the blogfest on Monday!
Congrats on your awards and congrats to Talli! :)
Congrads on the awards, Lynda! I do plan on reading it. And the lies I tell myself? There are so many, where do I start? *sob*
OH! I like the sound of that post...must click over. :)
Anyone who can make my inner editor shut up has my respect.
I have read Talli's book and enjoyed it immensely!
Congrats on all the lovely awards. :)
Hi Lynda! CONGRATS on all your awards!
Congrats on your awards! I have certainly been guilty of that first writing lie (and the others at some point I am sure). It's so hard for me to just sit down and MAKE myself write, no matter how I feel at the time. But I should do it more often because afterwards I feel so accomplished.
Again, thanks for the congrats and the support for Talli. You guys are all awesome.
