Nothing Left to Lose (SAMPLE ONLY - IT IS BEING PUBLISHED ON 5th NOVEMBER 2013)

Note about publishing

Hi all,

As you’re probably already aware because I’ve announced it to fans a couple of weeks ago, and the title of the story is a dead giveaway – Nothing Left to Lose is being published on 5th November 2013!! :D

On 5th November it will be available for purchase on most e-readers and the paperback on Amazon. Currently, the pre-order is exclusive to Apple and their iBookstore, BUT on 5th November, its publication date, it will be available on all other devices too.

Please don’t ask me to put the full story up here on Wattpad – the terms and conditions of publishing mean that I am not allowed to. Sorry. It was up here and completed for over two years so I’m sorry if you didn’t find it earlier, but I am not allowed to put it back up here now that the pre-order is live and the publication has been announced. Thank you in advance for your understanding! Please don’t hate or leave abusive comments because I’ve removed it. Writing is now my career and I love being able to support my family by doing something that I love, I feel very blessed to do so.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that read the story on Wattpad. It was up here in complete form for well over two years and in that time it surpassed over 25 million reads before I removed most of it. Thank you so much to everyone that took the time to read it, who voted, made me a banner, recommended to others, added to libraries, and most importantly, left comments on here. Your support and encouragement means the world to me, and some of the comments were so incredibly helpful in pointing out plot holes and chronological errors that I may have never even spotted. So THANK YOU!!

[For readers of Enjoying The Chase. Yes, that is being published too but at the moment I am allowed to leave the full version on Wattpad until it all goes live and gets further down the line. I’ll announce about that separately nearer the time!]

NOTE ABOUT THE PUBLISH VERSION OF NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE: There are changes, yes. A few name changes here and there – the first one you’ll notice from the announced description. Jamie’s name has been changed to Jack. There is a reason behind this, a good reason, it HAD to be changed. I have another Jamie (main make lead) in another book (Fighting To Be Free) that I want to publish at some point, so I couldn’t have two Jamie’s in two different stories as people would be putting two and two together and reaching five. So Jamie is now Jack. The storyline is the same, but there are a few other significant changes that you’ll notice easily if you’ve read the whole of the Wattpad version. One big thing does not happen in the published version but it doesn’t alter the ending or the storyline too much. I’m pretty confident that, while you’ll find the changes strange at first, they make the story better in the long run.

Again, thank you all so much for your support with this story. This story actually means so much to me that having it put there and published means more than my other three published ones combined. Nothing Left to Lose has always been my baby. While I wrote this story chapter by chapter and uploaded it on Wattpad, I met some incredible people that I now class as dear friends even though I have never met them (well, apart from one that I have met!) for that I am extremely grateful too.

I also just wanted to say an extra special thanks to everyone that messaged me about this story, telling me how much it had touched their lives or how much they identified with the characters (mostly Anna) and the situations in the story and how they could relate. For you all I just wanted to say, stay strong, smile every day and find joy in the little things, because the little things are what make life worth living.

So yes, there you go, 5th November 2013 is the publication date and if you have Apple then you can pre-order it. (The link is on my Facebook page if you use Facebook).

Love to you all. <3
