So Into is Sandra Hill's newest book, and soon to be released by Grand Central Publishing unter their Forever Imprint. It is the story of friends, too close for one, Grace O'Brien's comfort, and close enough for the other, Angel Sabato. When friendship is broken, Angel leaves with everything hehoped for lying in pieces, including his heart. But time, Tante Lulu, and St. Jude have other plans for them, and when the pair meet again, Grace decides to take Angel up on his offer of a bet...one night of love if he wins at Texas hold'em for charity....

In her interview, in answer to the question How much of your personality and life experiences are in your writing? Sandra says, "Not much. My husband and sons don’t think I’m funny at all. And when friends and relatives ask if I’ve done all the sexy stuff in my books, my usual response is, “I wish!” Actually, I think the heroines in my books are women I would like to be. Tall and thin, of course. Adventuresome. Brave. Willing to take risks. And I’ve noticed the oddest thing lately. My next three books have heroines with red hair (which I do not). Maybe subconsciously I see myself as a redhead. " ...
“ Some of my favpourite comments from ny readers include: The woman who told me that her sister died of cancer and asked that one of my books be placed in her casket, prominently, so people would smile at her funeral. The sex therapist who uses my books. The woman who told me the tag line on my books should read, “Better than a vibrator!” The guy from Norway who told me he heard I wrote a book about him; his name was Magnus Ericsson. The many readers who tell me that my books help them through hard times. The many readers who ask me how their husband/lovers can find their Viking S-Spot. The many readers who say their husbands and boyfriends now call them “heartling” or “sweetling,” after reading my books.”...Sandra Hill

Insufficient Mating Material is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Forced Mate and the award winning Mating Net. It is published by Dorchester Publishing's LoveSpell line, and released January 31st 2007....

".. Dear Reader....

A funny thing happened during the writing of Insufficient Mating Material. My editor, Alicia Condon, really liked my Prologue --where the hero is at a decided disadvantage and very worried that he is about to be neutered--, but Alicia asked for two more prologues. More information about my alien Djinn world was necessary for readers who have not read Forced Mate, or Mating Net.

She also wanted something more sexy than a hero with an erection about to undergo surgery.

Obligingly, I wrote them. Then I had three prologues. That was a bit unusual! My editor loved them all, and Chapter One remained the royal wedding and the heroine's big entry scene.

However, who has three prologues? So, somewhere between when I signed off, and when the galleys arrived, Prologue One became Part One, Chapter One... a very short First Chapter." ...Rowena Cherry...

Rough Edges Is her newest book published by Romance At Heart Publications. A Texas cowboy looking to polish his image runs into an independent stylist who is determined to rebuff any advances he might make. The catch is, Fate has decided they are exactly right for each other, and throws them together constantly with great glee...

".. How I develop my characters:
Basing my characters on people I know personally helps in their development. Each of my 'people' have certain traits, mannerisms, and temperament I've seen in others; from my own mother to my three daughters and my husband and son. This thinking process and mental imagery helps me envision my characters, as though they are true people and not cardboard cutouts.

I actually sit down and chart out traits of each of my primary characters. This helps me then when I move on to writing dialogue and scenes. Also, the more time I spend on a novel, i.e. the actual development of scenes, interaction between my h/h and how they react to the world around them helps me 'get to know' them, which also helps in their development." ...Nancy Pirri...

Heart of the Forsaken Is another great futuristic that explores the tolerance and the patience of those who can truly love. Here Red, another Daamen Trader, is faced with a fiesty little pirate who is truly alone, and who has been taught never to trust any expression of love.

".. I like to have some side plots going, too, hence The Overlord was born, and I loved the fact that he is totally alien in looks. My pirates came to the fore, but these were different pirates - the ebony pirate, Veknor, and Fredrico, who works for the Overlord and has a - er - now, I can't go any further without giving too much away. LOL! The worst pirate to date has to be Darcus - the one who took Sabra one savage night, and changed her course of life forever. I can say that my best ideas come to me while I am driving and listening to music."...Angela Verdenius...

The Sentinels once walked Atlantis as enlightened beings entrusted with the Law of One. Now they are back on Earth, taking on human form to track down Belians, other Atlantians who chose to turn away from the light and follow the dark and bloody path of Belial.
