Playlist – Midnight’s Shadow

When a mysterious stranger offers Taran the chance of a lifetime, she finds herself at a crossroads. Pilot the sleekest, fastest, most sought after ship in the star runner fleet or continue to hide safely in the shadows?

Edits just finished up on the next book in the Star Runner Saga and it’s off for final line edits. Like every one of my books, there is a list of music that I found myself listening to quite frequently when I wrote it. I find the songs follow the storyline and drive me to continue to write it. So, for those interested, here’s the playlist for Midnight’s Shadow:

I Stand Alone ~ Godsmack
Yours to Hold ~ Skillet
Running Away ~ Hoobastank
The Ghost Of You ~ My Chemical Romance
Cold (But I’m Still Here) ~ Evans Blue
Undisclosed Desires ~ Muse
Together Again ~ Evanescence
My, My, My ~ Rob Thomas
Warrior ~ Disturbed
Heaven Out of Hell ~ Elisa

Six Sentence Sunday – 11/28

New artwork landed in my Inbox a few days ago. That’s right, Midnight’s Shadow (set for release in early 2011) has a cover! Check it out:

So, in celebration, I thought I’d share six sentences from it with you today.

Screams and shouts of pain sounded far off and I bit my lip to keep my voice from joining their horrific chorus. The high pitched panic of the sound seared through me and I wanted the noise to stop. The sound stood as a dark harbinger of unknown things to come and I wasn’t interested in finding out what else stood before me.

Fear iced my veins and I backed away from the bars only to be met with another solid object. As I fought for breath, I spun around in preparation to defend myself from whatever occupied the cell with me.

Sparkling amber eyes met mine and Wallace’s name tumbled from my lips as I launched myself at him.

For those new to this, the rules are simple:

1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy

2) pick six sentences

3) post ‘em on Sunday

See? Easy. Want to play? See our site for information on how to do just that: http://sixsunday.blogspot.com/p/about.html

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.
