SARA News - Claire Baxter runs rampant at the Apple iTunes Bookstore, and Kyoko Church launches MADE FOR HIRE

Greetings, and welcome to the newest instalment of the sassy SARA News!

Claire Baxter:

In our last news post, you will have seen Claire Baxter's newest release from Random Romance, Anybody But Him, making headlines over at the Apple iTunes bookstore.

Well, she's still there!  The girl has staying power!

Check out this recent screen shot of Anybody But Him featured in the top banner as a Customer Favourite.  Note the average 4.5 star reviews!

In other completely fabulous news, Claire has announced that More Than Just Pretend, is coming very, very soon.   This is the second novella in the Selwood Sisters Series, following on from More Than Just One Night.

Gwen is the middle Selwood sister. In More Than Just Pretend she's been through a bitter divorce and desperately wants to create a stable home for her teenage daughter Becky who's in the final, difficult years of school.

Returning to live near her sisters in their parents' old house, Gwen finds that the house needs fixing up, and Spencer the sexy builder is just the man to do it.

Just in case that's not enough Claire Baxter news for you, take a look at this USA Today article where she gets a mention.  Awesome!  

Kyoko Church:

For those of us who also love reading on the very, very sexy end of the spectrum, please consider this your hand-delivered (by a god of a man wearing ... whatever you want him to be wearing :)) invitation to Kyoko Church's book launch of Made For Hire, at the South Australian Writer's Centre, Second Floor 187 Rundle Street, Adelaide, this Friday July 26th at 7pm.   The event will be hosted by fellow SARA, Victoria Purman.

This, from the SA Writer's Centre Website:

The erotic anthology Made For Hire, published by Sweetmeats Press, will be launched by contributing author Kyoko Church and hosted by author and SAWC Writer in Residence, Victoria Purman, 7pm at the SA Writers Centre. The book includes five erotic tales of service and pleasure. Because of the explicit nature of the content this event is restricted to those 18 years of age and over.

At the event, you can meet Kyoko, get your book signed, enter a draw to win a free copy of the book, and listen to a kinky passage read aloud. 

Right up your alley?  Read an excerpt from Kyoko's contribution, Sweet. Sweeter, at her blog.

It promises to be a fabulously sexy evening.  

Until next time, happy reading.

Emmeline.
