			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I&#8217;d give one of my backlist books some love today. Meet Ana and Stark from <a href="http://www.sarabrookes.net/rebirth/flash-of-dark-2/">Flash of Dark</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/flashofdark.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-808" title="flashofdark" src="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/flashofdark-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="165" height="240" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Stark&#8217;s slow movements were a direct conflict with the sweaty mass of bodies thrashing around us to the beat of the blaring techno music. His hands gripped my hips, moving them in time to his so that we moved as one and I noted that for as little as he was moving, there was nothing gentle about it.<br />
His mouth fit over the flesh at my clavicle and I could feel his warm breath against my skin as he spoke. “I find I prefer this much more than spastically jumping around so much it’s nearly teeth jarring. Besides,” he said against my ear, drawing his mouth to the pulse point just under my earlobe, while his hands slid around to my lower back to rest lightly against the curve of my ass. “Should we choose to sweat from that much effort, I’d prefer you underneath me.”</p></blockquote>
<p>For those new to this, the rules are simple:</p>
<p>1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy if you’re published</p>
<p>2) pick six sentences</p>
<p>3) post ‘em on Sunday</p>
<p>See? Easy. Want to play? See the site for information on how to do just that: <a href="http://sixsunday.com/">http://sixsunday.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I&#8217;d revisit the first book in the Rebirth series, <a href="http://www.sarabrookes.net/rebirth-series/flash-of-dark-2/">Flash of Dark</a> since I just finished up formal edits on the next book in this series. I absolutely adore working with all the characters in this series and  Stark and Ana, who kicked the series off, are no exception:</p>
<blockquote><p>My breath burned in my lungs as I began breathing heavily, fighting against the release that scorched through my body. His fingers dredged across the tender skin between my legs. Fire and ice entwined within me, heat and frost causing a heady mixture that nearly caused me to go blind. My body started screaming, ordering me to listen to it. I gave in a little, swearing softly as Stark slid two fingers slowly inside of me at that moment.<br />
His timing was impeccable.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the start of the week long blast of my favorite things! Today I&#8217;ll share six of my favorite lines from my first book, <em>Flash of Dark</em>. Plus, I&#8217;ll be giving away a download. But wait! There&#8217;s more. I&#8217;ll also give away a copy of one of my favorite paranormal/urban fantasy romance books today. Let&#8217;s get started, shall we?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/flashofdark.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-808" title="flashofdark" src="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/flashofdark-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Have to say, my favorite six lines from <em>Flash of Dark</em> are from the opening sentences&#8211;as in the first six sentences of the book. They set the tone right off the bat and really grab your attention:</p>
<blockquote><p>My head snapped to the side, vision blurring as my eyes watered from the shock. Pain radiated from the site of impact on my jaw. The bruiser in front of me had managed to sneak in a cheap shot. The bastard probably expected me to slide into psycho chick mode right about now and flail my arms around in the air hoping for purchase. Maybe rake my nails over his cheek in the typical female defense.</p>
<p>But I had another ace up my sleeve.</p></blockquote>
<p>Pretty intense, right?</p>
<p>Now, onto the first day of the contest. One of my favorite paranormal romances is <em>Kiss of Fire</em>. It&#8217;s the first book in the Dragonfire series by Deborah Cooke. Dragon shifters-hello!!  Action, adventure, sex and a fantastic love story. All key components to a great romance book, IMHO.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/kofdc1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1571" title="kofdc" src="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/kofdc1-186x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>While <em>Flash of Dark</em> is an eBook, <em>Kiss of Fire</em> is available as an eBook or in paperback. Yep, I&#8217;ll ship you the paperback if you&#8217;re the winner if you so choose. But keep in mind, I&#8217;m in an area that was hit with 13&#8243; of snow yesterday. No trips to the post office for me for a few days.</p>
<p>So, what do you need to do in order to win these two books? Just comment on this post (until midnight EST). Yup, that&#8217;s it. Couldn&#8217;t make it any more simple.</p>
<p>The contest schedule for the week:</p>
<div id="_mcePaste">Monday, 12/27: Flash of Dark &amp; one of my favorite paranormal romance/urban fantasy books (2 books)</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Tuesday, 12/28: Midnight’s Ghost &amp; one of my favorite science fiction romance books (2 books)</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is August 8th. Not only is it Six Sentence Sunday, it is also an anniversary for me. See, one year ago today, I pushed the SEND button to submit what would become my first published eBook. So, in celebration, enjoy six sentences from FLASH OF DARK.</p>
<blockquote><p>The rope at my wrists chaffed against delicate skin as I struggled against them, wanting to have my hands on him, but the pain only fueled the need raging inside of me. His hands skimmed up my arms, our fingers lacing together and I immediately let my defenses fall away. Every wall, every brick I had ever erected, dissolved as I relinquished control to Stark completely.<br />
Pain lashed at us both, originating somewhere deep within me, but he followed my lead and tempered it quickly. Far more quickly than I would have expected for someone who wasn’t Fae.<br />
Perhaps I should have given him more credit sooner.</p></blockquote>
<p>For those new to this, the rules are simple:</p>
<p>1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy<br />
2) pick six sentences<br />
3) post ‘em on Sunday</p>
<p>See? Easy. Want to play? See our site for information on how to do just that: <a href="http://sixsunday.blogspot.com/p/about.html" target="_self">http://sixsunday.blogspot.com/p/about.html</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For something with a bit of a different flavor, instead of sharing an upcoming release or a work in progress, this Sunday will be from my novel, <a href="http://www.liquidsilverbooks.com/books/flashofdark.htm" target="_self">Flash of Dark</a>. Enjoy!</p>
<blockquote><p>Zoey was partially on the couch at this point, cuddling with the half empty bottle of tequila clutched to her chest as I moved away to slide my coat around my shoulders. A smile was turning up the corners of her mouth and she gestured for me to come over before I left. I could smell the alcohol on her breath as I leaned over and saw the glassy cast the liquor had given her eyes. “Savor him before you devour him, Ana. Don’t give him a chance to breathe.”<br />
Drunk as she may be, Zoey had a point.</p></blockquote>
<p>For those new to this, the rules are simple:</p>
<p>1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy<br />
2) pick six sentences<br />
3) post ‘em on Sunday</p>
<p>See? Easy. Want to play? See our site for information on how to do just that: <a href="http://sixsunday.blogspot.com/p/about.html" target="_self">http://sixsunday.blogspot.com/p/about.html</a></p>

<p>This week I&#8217;ve selected six sentences from my current release, <em>Flash of Dark</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>He reluctantly released me and watched as I settled my coat, minus the damaged belt, around my shoulders. “What time do you get off?”<br />
I couldn’t help but smile mischievously. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Gray flashed dark and I laughed as I backed my way to the front door, ignoring my increasing demand for the need to finish what I started. “Swing by the club, I’ll be there.”</p></blockquote>
<p>For those new to this, the rules are simple:</p>

<p>Welcome to the Romance Writers Behaving Badly Blog Tour! You should have arrived here from Gem Sivad&#8217;s site (<a href="http://gemsivad.wordpress.com" target="_self">http://gemsivad.wordpress.com</a>). In case you&#8217;ve stumbled upon my post and don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on, I&#8217;m part of a group of romance authors who have a blog together. We&#8217;re holding a blog tour this weekend where we will give away some great books &#8211; our own!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m Sara and I write paranormal, fantasy and science fiction erotic romance. My first paranormal (Fae and vampires), Flash of Dark, is one of the eBooks up for a prize.</p>
<p>If you want to start at the beginning, head on over to Jeanne&#8217;s site (<a href="http://jeannestjames.blogspot.com" target="_self">http://jeannestjames.blogspot.com</a>). Just follow the list, commenting on each post and that&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>Now, part of what you came for is eye candy &#8211; right? Since one of my characters in my book is particularly fond of rope, I managed to combine that was the theme of our blog tour &#8211; springtime. When I hear springtime, I think of flowers. <img src='http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>What do you think of when you hear springtime?</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve left your comment (please remember to leave a comment at each site on the tour), you can continue on to the next blog on the tour: Lissa Matthews (<a href="http://lissamatthews.blogspot.com" target="_self">http://lissamatthews.blogspot.com</a>)</p>
