SARA News ~ A little bit of this, and a little bit of that...

Welcome to another week of fantastically SASSY news. 

Behind the book...

Amy T Matthews's non-fiction book which looks at writing End of the Night Girl, has been released by University of Adelaide Press.  It's called Navigating the Kingdom of the Night.

You can get the PDF for FREE but there is also a print version (Eleni: looks like the Order Online isn't working so best to call them for your copy).














Eleni Konstantine is doing a tired dance this week as she has two releases.

A world with magic?...

Enchanted, a short story from Alfie Dog Fiction.

Katharine’s life has become static. She has no friends and her workaholic husband hardly notices her. Enchantment and fascination comes in the form of a mysterious painting.

If you like noir, you'll like...

SNOOP: Snoop Cases #1, a paranormal noir novelette, from Musa Publishing.

Bob's rule of investigating: Never take the paranormal at face value.

Daisy Luck is a SNOOP - Sanctioned Nationalized Officer Of the Paranormal. Her latest case involving a vampire and a gremlin has her private eye senses in a spin. Throw in yummy Detective Maroney and her life couldn't get more complicated - or could it?

Translation anyone?

Trish Moreyova rides again with the Czech translation of Fiancee For One Night.

A poet at heart? 

Join Lilliana Rose with her latest piece, No Friends, on Every Day Poets.

Nothing like a good cover. Here is some cover love.

Random Romance is releasing a print anthology next year called All My Love. Included are stories from our own Virginia Taylor (Dr No Commitment) and Claire Baxter (Anybody But Him). What a simply gorgeous cover. 

Anne Oliver's UK cover for Mistletoe Not Required.

Lilliana Rose tweeted the following...

@LillianaRose2: 50,024 words for the month of Nov :) I now have a novel. Just another 30k I reckon and it will be finished! #NaNoWriMo2013

Well done, Lilliana on finishing your goal. 

Did anyone else try it this year?

That's it from me, your roving SARA reporter. Until next time.

SARA News ~ Covers, releases, photo ops, oh, my

I've been in assignment hell the last couple of weeks and the SARA News had been unintentionally put on hold. But what a bumper of an issue we have today!!

Buckle up. It's time to get SASSY....

Claire Baxter is pleased to have a new contract with Random House Australia for a Random Romance to be published in March 2014. Titled Love On Location, the story is a romantic comedy about a girl who finds love in the most unlikely of places.

Anne Oliver had a fab photo showing off her latest KISS book on Twitter/Instagram. This is the Great photo of actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical fame with Anne's Mistletoe Not Required.

Victoria Purman has received the cover for her second book in the Boys of Summer series due for release 1st February 2014! Here is Someone Like You. Smashing...

Carla Caruso and her boys were spotted in The Advertiser on the November 11th edition.

Everyone say awwwwwww. Heroes in the making, no doubt.

In other news....

Lilliana Rose (left), Eleni Konstantine (right), and Kate all had the chance to meet George R.R. Martin at a book signing at Supanova in Adelaide. Yes, there were line ups but it was worth the wait.

Told you it was a bumper!

Until next time...

A bundle of bouncing SARA News with Carla Caruso

SARA Member Carla Caruso, author of Destiny Romance's Cityglitter and Second Chance, has a double dose of very big news:

"My hubby James and I welcomed twin boys Alessio James and Sebastian Rocco Elsby on July 27 – two miniature dashing heroes, one minute apart! (Gushing mum pic below.)

I also have a rural romance in the hands of a publisher, with the working title of Catch of the Day, which features a secondary character, who is pregnant with twins. And there may be a “my water’s broke” moment at a country wedding near the end and a mad dash to the hospital (none of which happened to me!!)"

HUGE congratulations on the births of your gorgeous baby boys, Carla and James!  We love the names, very apt for future dashing heroes.   All the best for your next book, too.  So much exciting news.

Everybody at SARA wishes your beautiful family endless years of joy!
