NO BITTING ALLOWED by Sandra Sookoo
She has hope. He has vulnerability. Both need each other, but reality might keep them apart.Grace spends her evenings alone, reviewing paranormal books on her blog, wondering what it takes to make a hero and if she'll ever find one. She doesn't believe vampires or paranormal beings are real, and, while she hands out harsh reviews because she can't suspend her disbelief, she meets the one man who will go to great lengths to change her mind.
Brody's a vampire. Turned into a monster by a bad transfusion years before, he's afraid of losing his grasp on humanity when the hunt for blood grows strong. Once he selects Grace to relieve his primal appetites, he's brought up short by his attraction. Her very disbelief makes him want to show her not only what he is but why he's worthy of her love. Now, if only a troublesome branch of the government would stop spying long enough for him to actually date her.
Trouble is, after being hurt from a nasty divorce, Grace is leery of giving anyone her trust, let alone her love, again. Die at his hand or live under his control? Only her heart can decide.

Hi Bookworm! What am I working on now? Right this very minute I'm writing the sequel to Wedgie Tales and Panty Lines. It's going well :-) After that I'll do another historical piece.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new release! Do you write more than one book at a time?

Congratulations on the release of No Biting Allowed. I love that title and the cover is gorgeous! No Biting Allowed sounds like an awesome book. How many books do you plan to write for this series?
ReplyDeleteTOPSAIL246(at)aol(dot)com
Hi Greenduckie! I used to be able to write two books at a time, but not so much anymore. I really like to take the time and concentrate on one at a time now, go slow and capture each nuance of the story :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Annalisa! I'm planning 4 books total in this series. I've already got book 2 semi-outlined so it'll be good to start writing in the fall :-)
Congratulations on the release of No Biting Allowed. I love romance books with humor in them. You are anew author for me and I will be following you. Are you going to write any more books about dragon shifters? Dragons are my favorite and not to many authors write about them.
ReplyDeleteThank you and author island for the chance to win. If I win I want your book "Dragons at Dawn" :-}

Hello Sandra!
ReplyDeleteNo Biting Allowed sounds like an exciting paranormal romance. It reminds me of the Mulder/Scully relationship of the X-files. He has to convince the skeptical heroine to believe in vampires. I think it sounds suspenseful. Will he take her blood or her heart? Good luck with the new release!
I would love to win Dragons at Dawn. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Hi Nay Nay! So glad you connected with me! Dragons at Dawn is NOT included in my backlist at this time since it just released. Sorry lol But I have another book CHANGING TIDES that has a dragon in it you could win if your name is chosen :-) Will I write another dragon shifter story? I would love to. They're so fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacie! Thanks for commenting! I've never watched the X-files so that's funny you said that! I wrote my heroine by asking "what would I do in that situation?" I think she's like alot of us would be :-)
Hello, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the posters who commented on the wonderful cover; I agree.
Do you work with one particular artist?
Thanks,

Hi Tracey! Do I work with one cover artist in particular? Nope. Each publisher has their own artist, so I work with them :-)
ReplyDeleteHi June! Thanks for checking my books out! I've planned three more books in this series after NO BITING ALLOWED.
Congrats on the new release. It looks like my kind of book.

Thanks for visiting Jen B! It took awhile to come up with the title :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I want to wish you Happy Release Day! I wish you much success with the book and I want to thank you and Author Island for having this wonderful contest.
Here are my questions.
My question to you is are you a Plotter or a Panster?
Also what do you like the most about the whole writing process?
Hi Theresa! Am I a plotter or pantster? Definitely a plotter. I outline all my stories so I have some idea of where I'm going. Sometimes the ideas change so I fix the outline and continue. I'm less likely to get writer's block that way.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I like most about the writing process? Figuring out a problem by myself, then seeing the finished product get into a reader's hands. When someone writes to me and tells me they like my work, it's a huge lift :-)
Your book sounds interesting. I am going to check out your website this afternoon after the evel day job. My question is
ReplyDeleteif you were stranded on a deserted isle and the necessities are taken care of what three other things could you not do without.
scrtsbpal at yahoo dot com
Hi Pam. What 3 things would I take to an island? Favorite books, a lifetime supply of notebooks and pens, and maybe keep a luxury yacht docked nearby lol Thanks for coming and hope you find some books of mine you'll like!
