My Favorite Things – Day 2

Welcome to the second day in the week long blast of my favorite things! Today I’ll share six of my favorite lines from my second book, Midnight’s Ghost. Plus, I’ll be giving away a download. But wait! There’s more. I’ll also give away a copy of one of my favorite science fiction romance books today.

So, one of my favorite things about writing Midnight’s Ghost were all the action sequences I got to write. My lead female is a spaceship pilot, so there were plenty of opportunities to take advantage of her skills–especially since they seem to spend a good bit of time trying to get away from the bad guys. Here are six…er, seven ’cause it wouldn’t make sense otherwise…of my favorite sentences from the book.

“Taran, you’ve got no options here. The smartest thing is for me to—”
“There are always options, Wallace.” I cut him off, uncaring to the fact he seemed determined to go about whatever cockamamie plan he had come up with. I was more determined because I now felt responsible for Kerr and getting him back home. “I will get you and Kerr to Delphin Five because you are going to pay me for every bit of trouble you have caused since the day I met you, and dammit, you will not be someone I’m only allowed to visit once and a while for conjugal visits. Everyone strap in, things are going to get a little wild.”

Now on to one of my favorite science fiction romances: Grimspace. It’s the first book in the Sirantha Jax series by Ann Aguirre. Here’s the blurb: As the carrier of a rare gene, Sirantha Jax has the ability to jump ships through grimspace-a talent which makes her a highly prized navigator for the Corp. Then a crash landing kills everyone on board, leaving Jax in a jail cell with no memory of the crash. But her fun’s not over. A group of rogue fighters frees her…for a price: her help in overthrowing the established order.

Yep, all that and a love story too. March is … yeah, March is. ;)

While Midnight’s Ghost is an eBook, Grimspace is available as an eBook or in paperback. Yep, I’ll ship you the paperback if you’re the winner if you so choose.

So, what do you need to do in order to win these two books? Just comment on this post (until midnight EST). Yup, that’s it. Couldn’t make it any more simple.

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.
