SARA News - The good stuff just keeps on coming...

Hello dear reader, and welcome to yet another super-sassy instalment of the SARA News.  

We have some new books for your reading pleasure this evening...


Claire Baxter's Entangled Bliss release Flirting with Danger is now available from etailers.  To celebrate it's release, Claire is blog-hopping across with blogosphere with a rafflecopter giveaway.    Head to Claire's website for more deets.

To be together is dangerous. To stay apart is impossible.

Firefighter Jasmine Mackinnon has always just been one of the guys. So no one’s more shocked than she is to find herself kissing fellow firefighter and all-around sinfully handsome playboy Aaron Parkes after a friend’s wedding. Jasmine knows she can’t risk an emotional connection with a colleague—a potentially dangerous entanglement when fighting fires together—and nothing's more important to her than her job.

Aaron never noticed how beautiful Jasmine was until he saw her out of her firefighter duds, but there’s something about the fiery woman that tempts him. Though he knows pursuing a real relationship is out of the question for a serial dater like him, when their casual flirtation builds into something more serious, it's not just their jobs or their safety on the line. It's their hearts.

In other book release news, KE Osborn's debut novel Trust Me? The Trust me? Trilogy Book One is available now at Amazon and Smashwords.

When Jenifer Taylor, a young woman from the big City of Mornington Vale California starts her day, it turns from bad to worse, when on her way to work she is in a chain collision.Little does she know that this accident will set off a chain of events transforming her dull life, filling it with love and heartache.Aiden O'Connell, a young, attractive, and rich businessman sparks her trust issues as he starts his pursuit of her.Jeni admits her feelings for Aiden; only to find out he is being investigated for a serious crime. Her trust issues spark as she goes through a journey of self-discovery. She must decide once and for all whether she trusts the man she loves, when she’s asked the ultimate question.“Do you trust me?”This is book one in a series of three. Book two "Love Me?" coming soon.

SARA News - The Day of the Debutantes!

It's okay.  You may leave the frothy white dress with matching gloves in the back of your wardrobe, and stay in your seat with your coffee and your chocky bicky.

Allow us here at SARA to parade a few of our debutantes before you.  You can't see it, but I'm wearing a very nice tux right now.  


VICTORIA PURMAN is cordially inviting you to the launch of her debut book from Harlequin, Nobody But Him.  We can't be certain Victoria will be wearing a frothy white confection, but good times are guaranteed!

It's out on October 1st.  Need a closer look at that gorgeous cover?

She didn’t expect to run into her first love… or to fall back in love with him!

At eighteen, Julia Jones left for the city with a head full of grand plans for an exciting life that certainly didn’t include her home town of Middle Point – a main street with a pub – or Ryan Blackburn.

But fifteen years – and a lifetime later – she’s forced to put her big city life on hold when she heads home to finalise her mother’s estate. Which is where she runs smack bang into the town’s new champion… the same Ryan Blackburn.

The sensible thing to do? Stay the hell away from him and head back to Melbourne as fast as her stilettos can carry her. But Julia finds his offer of a helping hand and a hot body too delicious to refuse and dives into a reckless, one-time fling.

What she doesn’t realise is that tomorrow has a way of sneaking up, and that saying goodbye to her home town – and to Ryan – is much harder the second time around.

You can find Victoria at her website, on Twitter and Facebook.  See you at the launch!

In other cover news, K E OSBORN has a smashing new cover for her debut book, Trust Me? (Book 1 of the Trust Me? Trilogy), which is due for release in September.  Again, not a voluminous white dress in sight, but we're very 2013 here.... 

When Jenifer Taylor (a young woman from the big city of Mornington Vale, California) gets up her day turns from bad to worse when on her way to work she is in a chain collision.

Little does she know this accident will set off a chain of events transforming her dull life and fill it with love and heartache - more than she has ever known before.

Her trust issues spark as she meets a new man (Aiden O'Connell) and she will be asked the ultimate question.

"Do you trust me?"

You can find K E at her website, or on Twitter and Facebook.  

In our final news tidbit, for the first time SUZIE HINDMARSH-KNIGHTS has been featured as Author of the Week at Alfiedog.com.  Yes, I know.  No white dress there either.  There is a very cute puppy, though.  

Until next time, happy reading.

Emmeline.
