Sandra Sookoo Week: Day5: Character Interview + Giveaway
The Year: 2050
Location: Food Service Area onboard the starship Copernicus
Characters: Charlotte, Jax, Garreth from Blink
(I first sit down at a table with the very intelligent Garreth, of the Daridian's)
JJBC~ Can you tell us a little bit about what working with the humans is like? Do you enjoy it? Dislike it? Why
Garreth~Working with the Earth people is challenging at every turn. They’re not as advanced in every way as my people and rely too much on snap decisions. This is why their civilization will most likely never last.

Sandra Sookoo Week: Day 4 Review: Blink + Giveaway Entry

Blink
By: Sandra Sookoo
Published By: Eirelander Publishing
Published: Nov 05, 2010
Format: E-ARC
ISBN # 9781456331108
Websites: Author , Eirelander Publishing , AllRomanceBooks.com , Amazon.com
Which man is her destiny? Charlotte Jackson knows everything about her small portion of the galaxy but nothing about the secrets of her heart.Read more...
When her ship is attacked by the very beings Garreth wants to save them from, Charlotte and Jax will have to put their feelings for the blue-haired alien aside and focus on saving not only themselves but the entire galaxy. What the three find at the end could be the most valuable commodity of all.
Her life is as unstable as a supernova when her ship—the Copernicus—is visited by a blue-haired alien who calls himself Garreth. He tells her he’d like to build an alliance with Earth to improve the dire problems of both their planets. As if intergalactic space negotiations weren’t complicated enough, Charlotte finds herself more than a little attracted to the man who she should be thinking about in only the most professional terms. This does nothing to make her second-in-command—and would-be lover Jax—any more relaxed about the whole cooperation.

Author Sandra Sookoo Week: Day 3 - Interview

ABOUT YOU
JJBC~How did you get into writing?
SS~I got into writing when I was a kid and needed an escape from “real” life. Creating worlds and making characters became so fascinating, I kept up with it until I finally became a published author.
JJBC~Is writing your full time job?
SS~I do try to write full time. A few years ago I was laid off from the real estate industry and decided to give “serious” writing a go. I’m now getting ready to start my fourth year in the publishing industry and can’t wait to see what happens.
JJBC~What’s a typical writing day for you like?
SS~Usually in the morning I take care of busy work (usually promo stuff) then start writing in the afternoons or evenings. A couple days a week are set aside for errands or anything else not writing related. I generally try not to write on the weekends but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way.
JJBC~Do you set a daily writing goal?

Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match . . . dot com!

Todd Bracken, early 30s and a successful technology consultant, isn’t exactly a player after being off the market for ten years, and pours himself into his dual passions of martial arts and home-sweet-home renovations. Only there’s no one to come home to so he decides to give Match.com a try.

Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an "outlander"—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny in soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life ...and shatter her heart.

Tuesday Talking Teaser with Author Krista D Ball
Nov 2, 2010
Please help me welcome
She is reading from her newest release
By: Krista D Ball
Cursed, abused, and desperate to know her future, Dancing Cat sneaks a glimpse inside her tribe’s Sacred Bundle, a powerful source of spirit magic. Instead of the future, she sees her most powerful ancestor, Small Tree and incurs her wrath. Small Tree strips Dancing Cat of everything —her home, her identity, even her gender – and drops her in the middle of enemy lands.
Injured, and in a strange, new body, she is befriended by Bearclaw who is on a spirit quest. He offers her assistance and asks for nothing in return; a kindness Dancing Cat had forgotten existed. She struggles to weave a path around the obstacles of friendship, identity, and longing in order to survive her eventual return home to face even further punishment.
Now here's Krista
