Dear Readers: An Honest Update From Sarra

My Dearest Readers, I’m here. I know I haven’t been around much on social media for the past month, but I wanted to let you all know that I’m still here. I’m still writing. I’m still doing my best. I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few days about what I wanted to say to you all when I came back after a much-needed break from most of my social media, and I found out that it’s really complicated. I have some pretty heavy things going on in my life, but they are also intensely personal. On one hand,…

The Curse of Expectations

July was a hard month. Almost every day was go-go-go with a beach vacation, visits from friends, the Romance Writers of America conference in NYC and all the shopping and packing required to get ready for all those events.

To attend, simply visit the NOOK Press FB page…

I am so incredibly close to the HUGE milestone of 100,000 paid sales, and I have no doubt I will hit it within the next couple of weeks. In fact, I’m still waiting for my August sales figures from the iTunes store, which could push me up as far as 99,000 or more. EEEEEEK!!!! I honestly can’t believe this is happening. And the fact that I’m this close before I’ve even hit…
