gamer girl
Eli Jackson has just married the woman of his dreams. Sure, it was part of an online RPG and not exactly real, but he totally dominated the wedding battle that followed and his lady wife was very impressed. Eli never imagined that his meddlesome older brothers would find a way to make him and his gamer girl meet in person. He never figured on costume designer Zoey Daniels being such fun. Together they’re dynamite, but Eli’s not looking for a real relationship and Zoey lives only for the day. Besides, no one falls in love this fast. Do they? That's the story blurb and I'll be uploading Chapter One on Friday May 1st 2015 (A lovely date for starting something!) From then on I'll be adding more story parts every Tuesday and Friday until the story is complete. I aim to give each chapter a subtitle that's part teaser, part summary. As in: gamer girl - chapter one whereby gamer girl Zoey realizes that her gaming buddy Eli has older brothers who should be shot. Hint: not a problem I'll also be swapping out cover designs a lot - mainly because I can't stay away from the glorious beast that is Photoshop. I'd love to hear cover comments as well as story ones and seeing as I'm new to wattpad I'd love some recs when it comes to places to ogle and improve on coverart. A final note on spelling. I write for three different markets - The UK, the USA and AUS. This story is set in Australia so Aussie slang it is, but the spelling is American English. Realize with a 'z' instead of realise with an 's'. Humor instead of humour. Gray vs Grey. Fun times. See you on Friday!Complete
