Virtual Book Tour ~ Growing Pains by Cast Lennox ~ (Giveaway)

About Growing Pains

Gigi Rosenberg is living his best life: performances in the big city, side gigs at a dance company, a successful drag act, and the boy of his childhood dreams who now adores him. Even if the boyfriend part isn’t the sparkly ride of passion he expected it to be, life is sweet. So when his sister’s wedding calls him back to his hometown, he sees an opportunity to show the hicks from his past how wrong they were about him. Only, his boyfriend isn’t quite on board.

Brock Stubbs left their hometown and his parents behind for a reason, and the prospect of facing them again is terrifying. He swore he’d never go back, but Gigi has made it clear refusal isn’t an option, and Brock will do nearly anything for him. There’s just one deal-breaker of a problem: Brock promised Gigi he was out to everyone, including his parents. He lied.

It’s magical to run into the sunset together, but staying the course takes work. For Gigi and Brock, going home feels like the finale of a long, disappointing year. Sometimes love isn’t all you need.

Virtual Tour: Finding Your Feet by Cass Lennox (Guest Post + Giveaway)

The music behind Finding Your Feet

Finding Your Feet began life as a Nanowrimo project. It was meant to be an exercise in writing something completely different to anything else I'd done before, so I decided on a sweet, fluffy romance. Honestly, I was so excited about writing it! I set up a playlist for the month of November and had it on during the Day Job to get me into the right frame of mind for writing Finding Your Feet in the evenings.

This is a different playlist to the one for Blank Spaces. For Blank Spaces the songs were ones I happened to be listening to at the time. For Finding Your Feet, I had a theme and deliberately chose songs with that theme in mind (exceptions being Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet, which is the song Tyler and Evie dance to, and Find You by Zedd, which is in there because I just really liked it). Here you go:

For those who don't have two hours to listen to my lack of taste in music, these are the ones which were replayed each time they came up:

Fall For You by The Whitlams

The first time I heard this song was as a snippet in the TV ad for a "Best of" album back in the early 00s. The dreamy, introspective melody was enough to induce me to buy the entire album, and I've never looked back. I love the quiet, sad self-awareness of the song, the realisation that this is your person, and maybe you're not wise enough to handle them, but you're still going to take the plunge.
