Yep, that seems to be my writing motto of late, missing in action. Finding time to write is trickier than ever, which is why I’ve had to cut my web time substatially. I can play once I’ve finished working, just don’t ask me when that is going to be! I am making excellent headway on the remaining Hybrid Series books.: Hawk and Tigress and I am excited that SARI has finally hit the shelves!

Sari

By: Rose Middleton | ISBN # 978-1-60202-129-7

Available from Linden Bay Romance
 

Shapeshifting scientific assistant Sari Jones is having trouble controlling the dangerous heat that surges through her blood every time she steps within three feet of her hunky boss, Professor Kai Harrison. But control it she must, or risk losing the one man her heart has come to desire, and the freedom she longs to keep.

It’s a race against time when Kai and Sari are forced to trust one another in the search for truth. The Facility is key, an underground complex where Sari was once imprisoned. Deep in the jungle passions ignite, secrets are revealed, and for Kai the pieces start to fall into place. Sari isn’t human. She’s hybrid. And she’s just what Kai’s been searching for. There’s no such thing as coincidence…

Okay, enough from me. Back to writing…

…but I need to share. Since May, I’ve lost 13kg (about 28 pounds)! Still got plenty left to shed, but woohoo! How much more can I lose by my birthday in 2 weeks?? .

And here’s a little something to help boost my spirits

I was quickly drawn into the magic of Whisper. Well written and fast paced, I found it to have an excellent mix of emotions and heart stopping sex that keeps the reader wanting more.

Once upon a time, Alexis Benedict and Lorenzo De Luca were lovers and thick as thieves, literally, but the romance died when a job went wrong and Lorenzo left Alexis behind. Alexis has plotted her revenge for five years, and the privately owned cruise ship, the Lazarus, gives her the perfect opportunity. With the world’s largest sapphire on display and Lorenzo guaranteed to be in attendance, Alexis has every step planned in the finest detail. Alexis never factored in the strength of the chemistry between her and Lorenzo, and when she discovers the life and death reason why he needs the sapphire, Alexis must decide between her desire for revenge and Lorenzo’s freedom.

I’m back to working on Hawk, now that I have some time. My goal is to get 40K written over the next 10 days. Think I can do it? In the meantime, I have received new covers - one for Hawk and one for Tigress. I love them and can honestly say they’ve given me a bit of a boost in the motivation department.

“I loved the friendship that this book was based on, and how the couple couldn’t decide if they wanted to risk the friendship in order to take it to romance.”

Thanks Missy!

You’d think I’d be further along than a measely 15%… but alas, no. I have, however, cleaned the entire house, worked in the garden, knitted, spent far too much time on the job, had a root canal (yuk) lost 4kg and am still quite happily in love So, all things considered, I’m busy busy but doing ok. Bring on the July school holidays, I say.

And just an FYI, Something About Maggie is now in print (and still available in e-book).

SARI will be released later this year, though no exact date has been set (still working on the series, you see…) but I have a cover and I love it. Strong, bold and definitely sensual. Just like the book, if I say so myself, LOL. SARI is the first book in the Hybrids Series, which will have its very own website. If you haven’t taken a look, go here. It needs more pages, so check back soon.

Anyhoo, here’s the cover for SARI.

Shapeshifting scientific assistant Sari Jones is having trouble controlling the dangerous heat that surges through her blood every time she steps within three feet of her hunky boss, Professor Kai Harrison. But control it she must, or risk losing the one man her heart has come to desire, and the freedom she longs to keep.

Kai Harrison has a strict policy; he doesn’t mix business with pleasure. He’s on a quest to find the elusive black jaguars that his sister, Rebecca, was researching when she vanished without a trace. And if the blinding attraction he feels towards the sleek and sexy Sari doesn’t get in the way, he just might unravel the mystery.

It’s a race against time when Kai and Sari are forced to trust one another in the search for truth. The Facility is key, an underground complex where Sari was once imprisoned. Deep in the jungle passions ignite, secrets are revealed, and for Kai the pieces start to fall into place. Sari isn’t human. She’s hybrid. And she’s just what Kai’s been searching for. There’s no such thing as coincidence…

HYBRIDS BOOK TWO: HAWK

While others are excited that Mars is entering Leo, you are less certain about the added noise. The brash planet is now in your 12th House of Secrets, making it harder for you to express yourself. Even if you know exactly where you want to go and are heading in the right direction, it’s hard to make progress that others can see. Don’t worry about pleasing anyone else; outer success will follow the inner work you do over the weeks ahead.

Hmmm, sometimes they just hit the nail on the head, don’t they? The last line is especially pertinent to me at the moment since I’ve embarked on this weight loss journey (it’s only been a week). I dropped less than a kilo (still a loss, right?) but I’m doing work on other parts of me in order to achieve the weight loss - the whole Dr Phil thing, for a start. Why do I have such trouble with the first key?

On the writing front, HAWK is finally starting to hum nicely. The hero, Devon Hawk, is rather broody but he’s noble even if he doesn’t see it. And the (new) heroine, Hannah, is young and naive. Of course, that’s not all she is…
