State of Sara – 1/10

Posted on by

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I thought I’d take some time to do one. Nothing new on the release front, which, in a way, is a sigh of relief as I had two releases last month. Nice break is nice. ;) But my definition of the word “break” doesn’t always mean what it does for everyone else. *g* I’ve been hard at work on a few different things:

* an untitled contemporary erotic romance (BDSM). This is Ryan’s book. For those unfamiliar with Ryan, he made a brief appearance in Hardware. Like Hardware, the female lead in this book is also a geek. She games (a fact that pleases Allison to no end) and is Gatlin Falls’ newest radio personality with an affinity for hard driving rock music. If you missed it, I posted a sneak peek over at The Romance Studio’s New Years Party – just scroll down a little past the Hardware excerpt.  http://trsparties.com/index.php/featured-releases/2644-hardware-a-sneak-peek-of-a-work-in-progress-adult-excerpt-sara-brookes

* an untitled futuristic erotic romance (D/s). This is a project I’m working on that I’m not a liberty to discuss just yet, but I’ve just about finished the first draft, just one or two key scenes to go. This one has a word count target I’m desperately trying to stay under. I actually think I’m going to go over, but its easier sometimes to cut and remove. I should finish up this first draft this week.

* Chasing Sin, a contemporary erotic romance (m/m/f menage). The first draft of this one is done, it’s in week three of sitting on my hard drive percolating. Which means as soon as I finish the first draft of the futuristic I mentioned above, I’ll dive into personal edits on this one. This one about three storm chasers whose lives take a turn after surviving a close encounter with a tornado in America’s Heartland. I gave a sneak peek of this one as well at The Romance Studio’s New Years Party – same deal, just scroll down after the excerpt. http://trsparties.com/index.php/featured-releases/2681-hard-as-stone-a-sneak-peek-mm-adult-excerpts-sara-brookes

* an untitled contemporary erotic romance (BDSM). This is Adam’s book. For those unfamiliar with Adam, he is a close friend of Dalton and made a brief appearance in Ragged Edge. When Dalton left Second Circle, Adam took over one of his duties–instructor.

The CyberLaunch for Hard as Stone will be held on Monday, January 16. I’ll be giving away an Amazon gift card so be sure to swing by on Monday!

So that’s what is hot on my plate at the moment. While I’ve bought a ton of books to read lately, I have some judging packets that need my attention first. So, for the next few months, I’ll be reading those instead of anything in my TBR pile. Though, in the meantime, I have no doubt that pile will continue to grow. One day, I expect it shall consume the room it is stacked in. Not that I’m complaining. ;)

Interview and Exclusive First Look

Posted on by

Hey, gang. The lovely and uberfantastic Lanya Pimentel asked me to do an interview for her about writing erotica/erotic romance. I am deeply honored to be asked to participate and she asked some really awesome (and tough!) questions. Come check it out.

But, if that’s not enough motivation, I received the cover of Slow Break, a m/m entry into the Sypricon Master series, over the weekend and Lanya is featuring it exclusively at her blog for the week. It’s the only place you’re going to find it right now. And believe me, this is one cover you want to see–plenty of delicious man flesh to feast your eyes on. ;)
