#Giveaway Guest Post PLAYING THE PLAYER by Lisa Brown Roberts @LBrownRoberts @EntangledTeen

playing the playerRelease date: September 14th 2015
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Pre-order: Amazon | B&N
Synopsis via Goodreads:
The Good Girl Vs. The Player
 
Round one begins…
 
Trina Clemons needed the money. Why else would she – the most organized, prepared student in school – spend the summer as a nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever? Now she’s ready to tackle nannyhood with her big binder of research and schedules. Just don’t ask her about the secret job of “fixing” the bad habits of a certain high school player…
 
Slade Edmunds prefers easy hook-ups, and Trina is definitely not his type. She’s all structure and rules, while Slade wants to just have fun. Fortunately, Trina has no idea about the bet Slade made with his best friend that he can totally get her to unwind by the end of summer…
 
Then the weirdest thing happens. There’s chemistry. A lot of it. 
 
But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret…
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lisa Brown Roberts still hasn’t recovered from the teenage trauma of nearly tweezing off her eyebrows and penciling them in for an entire school year. This and other painful memories inspire her to write books in which girls big on wit and heart earn happy endings with swoony guys…eventually. 
Her almost forever home is Colorado, though she occasionally pines for the days when she lived within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Her house is full of books, boys, four-­legged prima donnas, and lots of laughter.

Does Social Media Help or Hurt While Writing  a Book?

Depending on the day, I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I love connecting to other authors, people in the publishing world and of course, readers. But sometimes the light speed of Twitter can be overwhelming, as can the barrage of status updates on Facebook and Instagram.

 

When I’m deep into a first draft, I don’t spend as much time on social media because I try to stay in the world of my book. Occasionally I might tweet a line from my WIP just for fun, but mostly I try to crank through the first draft. I do love Instagram, so I stay fairly active on that most days, and tend to post things like photos of my animals or funny stuff that has nothing to do with my book.

 

Once a book is about to be published, I spend a lot of time on social media trying to get the word out, in tandem with my publisher, in ways that I hope are fun and engaging, in hopes that readers will check out my book to see if it’s their particular catnip.

 

Something I really love about social media is the ability to connect with people all over the world, and with the “superstars” in the publishing world. I’ve found that most people appreciate shout-outs and reply to them, which is really fun. I try to reply to all Tweets, FB posts, Instagram comments, etc. I enjoy connecting with readers and other book lovers, so feel free to connect with me!

 

Thanks for having me on your blog!

    Sounds like a good book. It’s a bit different for your typical ‘nanny’ book. Will be curious to see how it works out between the two teens. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I love being connected to authors on social media. I also kinda thought of them as rock stars or actors, someone who would never get my email or want to hear from me. It’s nice to know that authors do care to hear from their readers.
