The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award

I have had the proud honor of being awarded–twice over– the  Irresistibly Sweet Blog award by Rebecca Royce and Layna Pimental. They are fabulous ladies and you should do yourself a favor and check them both out. You won’t regret it.

The rules of this award are as follows:

1. Thank and Link To the Person who Nominated You.
2. Share Seven Random Facts About Yourself.
3. Pass the Award on to 15 deserving blog buddies.
4. Contact those buddies to let them know.

I think just about everyone I know has already gotten this, so how about those 7 random facts about moi:

 

1) I’m extremely shy. Seriously, most of time you have to coax a conversation out of me and keep it up or I won’t talk.
2) I quote movies — a lot.
3) I taught myself HTML when I needed something to do after my daughter was born.
4) In high school, I used to role play Star Wars and also X-Men. Not surprisingly, I was the only female in both groups.
5) My first kiss was behind a rundown & rusted tool shed.
6) I married my high school sweetheart and as of June 4th (this Saturday), we’ll have been married 17 years.
7) I can’t stand the beach despite the fact I live–and grew up–at one.

State of Sara – 11/22

It’s that time again. What have I been up to?

I just finished up my latest work in progress, Ragged Edge, a contemporary erotic romance involving two men and a woman. Gotta say, this whole going into new territory is a lot of fun. I enjoyed writing their story and it tore at my heartstrings as I discovered what made them all tick. Me and my fondness for broken heroes. ;) Right now it’s with my CP and once I get it back and whipped into a smooth and polished state, I have to decide what to do with it.

Ragged Edge marks the third full length novel I’ve written this year. Hardware (which is already out) and Midnight’s Shadow (out in early 2011) are the other two. I’ve nearly finished whipping the third book in the Rebirth series into shape, but I don’t expect it to be done until after the first of the year–or close to it.

Speaking of Midnight’s Shadow…the first book in that series, Midnight’s Ghost, marked a bit of a milestone. Yesterday, 11/21, was the day I submitted it for consideration for publication with Liquid Silver Books in 2009. I can’t wait to share the continuing saga of Taran and Wallace with readers next year. All I have to say is two words: shower scene

Now I’ll dig my heels into a sci-fi romance short and a co-authored paranormal romance with Stacey Kennedy. This brain of mine needs a break from all the blistering hotness it’s been dealing with lately. There’s also another short in my brain somewhere that’s begging to be told–so you see what I have to work with for the next several months. LOL

On to some self-pimpage:

If you want to see an exclusive excerpt of Hardware and be entered to win a copy, swing by The Romance Studio’s four day Release Party where I’m participating. I’ll be posting an adult excerpt later tonight, but why not check out Allison and Patrick’s first kiss in the meantime?

And, should you find yourself unable to wait and absoltuely must have a copy right this instant, Hardware is now available at All Romance eBooks and Amazon.
