LEVEL ME UP by Lauren Helms Now
Available on Audio
Video Game + Romance?
I’ll be straight with you. I’m not a video
gamer. Yeah, I love a good round of Mario Kart. I’ll beat you every time
in the old school, Super Nintendo game Tetris Attack. But when it comes
to all other video games? It's just not my thing. My husband on the other hand,
he is a gamer to the core. He’s playing a video game right now, as I write this
post. So when I got a job several years ago for a video game strategy guide
publisher, he was in heaven.
Over the years, video games became my life. No,
I stilled didn’t play them, but they engulfed my work and home life. Hey, just
give me a good romance novel and I’ll call it a day. I don’t have time for
video games when there are so many romance novels to read. One day, I was
sitting at my desk at work researching
professional video gamers for a potential sponsorship deal and after a few
hours of this, a story started to form. What if a
nice, girl next door type suddenly finds herself submerged in all things
video games. What if she meant this super sexy but sweet pro video gamer and
life just took off? That’s how the story of LEVEL ME UP was formed. I mulled
over it for a few months. When I finally talked to my husband about it, he
nearly jumped up and down and said “You’ve got to write this book.”

Lauren Helms has forever been an
avid reader from the beginning. After starting a book review website, that

best--video games and romance. She decided to take the plunge and joined
NaNoWrimo and a month later, she had her first draft.

I am not a gamer, video or any kind. Always have been bookish girl, so books are my weapon of choice :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'd have to agree with you!
DeleteNot a gamer either. Back in the early 1990s, though, I used to enjoy PacMan, Super Mario Brothers, and Donkey Kong with my kids.

I play video games occasionally.
ReplyDeleteI liked to play a lot more when I was younger - not well (I'm the girl that played the wrong character in MarioKart lol) but I haven't been able to play much now that I have to adult.

I was a big fan of Super Mario when we got the Nintendo 64. Nowadays, I don't have enough time in a day to play and I'd rather be reading! :) Thanks for sharing your book, sounds like a fun read!
