Sandra Cox - a new release and a great contest!

Julia has been kind enough to let me blog and chat with her blogger buds today. Thanks, Julia. (My pleasure, Sandra!)

I’m out stumping for my current release Moon Watchers. Moon Watchers is a crossover YA, second in the hunter series.

What is a crossover YA. A Crossover YA is a paranormal with the lead character or characters in their late teens. This genre bridges the gap between young adult readers and adult readers and can fit into either readership. Yes, the heroine and/or hero are possibly younger than we are-unless you’re a vampire-but their story takes place outside the classroom and the situations they deal with are on an adult level.

Moon Watchers is the story of Jolene Sayer, a werewolf hunter who finds herself in a rather unique situation.

Here’s the blurb and excerpt.

Blurb:
Some people think being a Were hunter is weird. For me it’s perfectly normal. What I see as odd is my attraction to the hunkalicious Braden Knight. Why? I think he’s a vampire.

Excerpt:

Braden had been attracted to the luscious Jolene since the first moment he’d set eyes on her. She reminded him of the old song by Dolly Parton, the one about a sensuous siren. That’s Jolene, in a very earthy kick-ass fashion.

He stared at said siren. He could smell her fear, sharp and tangy, and fought back the urge to taste that always lived with him. Like a recovering alcoholic he beat back the craving for hot sweet blood. He’d taken a vow. One he refused to break. If there were a Vampires Anonymous, I’d probably be president, he thought wryly.

And if the blood craving wasn’t bad enough, his nineteen year old body responded with a kick of desire just as acute as his lust for the warm red liquid that flowed through her. It would be so easy to give in and satisfy both.

He could do it in a heartbeat…her heartbeat. He could hear it thump, thump, thumping against her ribs. It stirred him unbelievably. She might fight him at first but it would be temporary. Women could never resist him.

He took a deep breath and thought of all the misery he’d caused in his long and checkered past. His desire cooled. And while her blood still smelled sweet, it no longer tempted him.

    Hi Amber! How are you? I see you a lot on the sites. Thanks for the interest. Much appreciated.

    And Lovely Julia, thanks for hosting me.

  3. Hi Sandra! Thank you for sharing a great excerpt with us, that I can share with my 17 year old god-niece. I know she would love this. Moon Watchers sounds wonderful.
    XXOO Kat
    PS did you make the necklace? It sounds perfect for Moon Watchers!

  4. sandracox says:

    Hi Kat,
    Thanks for thinking about me for your god-niece.
    Unfortunately, I didn’t make the necklace. I try to keep my eyes out for jewelry I feel will work out with my books.
    Have a great day.

  5. Hi Sandra and welcome! I want to know how many books you’re planning to write for this series - or do you have another series in mind?

  6. sandracox says:

    Hey Ms. Julia,
    Being the decisive person I am, I’m undecided at this point:)
    I’m popping back and forth between wips right now.

  7. Ciara Knight says:

    Congrats on the new release, Sandra. I read and write YA, so I’ll be checking into your books. :)

  8. Stopping by to say ‘hey’…yes, I’ve bought Moonwatchers…no, alas I’ve not read it yet…life keeps getting on the way but I know for a fact - based on Sandra’s past books, it will be most excellent.

    Julia…why are the woman’s pants falling down? Yes, I had to ask…

  9. Hey Sandra, me too! Sorry, I’ve been gone all day, just got back. I’m excited about this new release of yours - I hope it sells very well!

  10. Thank you for the great excerpt…I will be checking the books out since they are paranormal…
