I have been hosting the last two weeks of The Kiss Off Blog Tour and I just want to thank author Sarah Billington for letting me host. Mine hosting part is over but it does continue till the end of December so make sure you check out the rest of the posts! Here is a little about The Kiss Off and if you have missed any of the tour stops since December 3rd you can hop along and show the others blogs some comment love! Also leave me a comment below to let me know what you think of The Kiss Off!
Blurb:
WARNING:
Sexual references, occassional coarse language.
When sixteen year old Poppy Douglas writes a song about her ex-boyfriend Cam and ex-friend Nikki, she has no idea that her heartbreak is about to go global.
A local band picks up her song from Youtube and soon she’s along for the ride with her own fanbase as they blow up on the local club scene and hit the international charts. Though it turns out leaving Cam behind isn’t as easy as she had hoped.
Tangled in a web of unfinished homework, ill-considered sexting and a new lead-singer boyfriend, Poppy has a choice to make between the ex that inspired it all and the rock God whose poster lines the inside of half the lockers at school. But as she struggles to keep her emotional dirty laundry private, she learns that the truth can be hard to find when your life is in the headlines.

Sarah Billington is an Australian writer and editor who likes to write stories with love, laughs, suspense and zombies. Sometimes all in the same story. Her favouritest thing to write about are those horrendously awkward moments that come with being a teenager. Or a human being. Sarah was extremely accident-prone and klutzy as a kid and teen, so her cup runneth over with experiences of horrendously awkward moments to draw from in her writing. Thankfully, she has grown out of her klutziness. Mostly. She is, however, still an embarrassment.
She loves a variety of random things, which include doggies (hers as well as yours), Swing Dancing, Ice Hockey, Roller Derby and she is a bit obsessive about paranormal investigation shows and channel E!. She writes light-hearted works under Sarah Billington, and darker, scarier and more torturous stories under her pen name, Edwina Ray.
She also runs an editing, cover design and ebook formatting company Billington Media.
Coming in 2013: The Kiss Off
2!
The money's in! Poppy's
royalties for penning the accidental hit song The Kiss Off that shot her
boyfriend's band to super-stardom are in and she knows EXACTLY what she's doing
with it.
EXCERPT:
EXCERPT:
“See that?” I said, pointing at the feature band name on the flyer. “Academy of Lies are headlining Bay Fest over in Tallulah Shores.”
“They’re headlining? Are you serious?” Mads said.
I grinned. “Pack your bags, baby.”
“Shut up.”
“Two words: road trip,” I said. “One word: camping.”
“Shut up.”
“Five wor — is it five? Yeah — five words: One week by the sea.”
“Shut up.”
“Four more words-”
“Enough with the words already.”
“I’m nearly done,” I said, “four final words: you, me and Van.”
She bit her bottom lip, staring at me when her hands started wringing in front of her again. And she started bouncing.
“No,” I said, “no, no. You shut up. You start screaming again and you’re not coming.”
Instead, Mads squeezed me in a bear hug and planted a kiss on my cheek. “I’m going to Babe Fest. I’m going to Babe Fest!”
Bay Music Festival. Of all the nicknames in the world, it could have been a lot worse.
THE KISS OFF 2 will include:
A road trip with an unexpected passenger.
Camping.
The realization too late that they don't actually like camping.
Sunburns.
Accidental topless swimming.
Paparazzi punch ups.
A news-worthy (yet totally false) love triangle.
Obsessed fan girls.
A stalker.
And an overwhelming request from someone super-famous.
