We are so excited to have Sandra back on the blog.  She is always a hoot!!!

Sandra, can you please share with us a little about yourself

Hi there! Thanks so much for having me back on your blog. I always love my visits here J My name, for those of you who haven’t heard of me, is Sandra Sookoo. I write romantic fiction across several genres and heat levels because all of my readers are different. The happy ending is what draws me to writing, and as long as my stories have that along with their quirky characters, I’ll always give you a smile.

Have you always wanted to be an author?

Well, I knew by the age of ten. Back then I was either going to be a writer or a cake decorator. I can bake a fine cake but decorating it is another matter—and I stink at it LOL Good thing I can spin a great yarn, huh?

Can you please tell us about your latest book(s)?

Absolutely! My newest book is a spicy Regency historical called THE BRIDE’S GAMBIT. It’s the 2^nd book in the Scandal in Surrey series. I adored writing my hero, Collin. He’s the kind of man women swoon for and secretly dream they had. And I loved writing Vanessa too. She’s finally had it up to her eyeballs with her life and sets out to change it. Here’s the blurb:

She wants a dashing, courageous man…Vanessa Underhill is on the run from her fifth would-be groom. She doesn’t care for any of the men her father has picked–none engaged her mentally or physically. Hunger for a man who will stir her imagination fires her virginal fantasies.

He wants understanding… When he’s bored with his role as Viscount Blackpool, Collin Northington becomes a highwayman to gain anonymity and solace. With his face scarred fulfilling his military duty in India, he hides behind the brigand mask and persona. What he really desires is a woman who will look beyond outward appearances and take a chance.

If only for one night… In lieu of payment, Collin kidnaps Vanessa from the northern-bound stage.  The more time they spend together—and in each other’s arms—the more they find they have in common beyond heated desire. When Collin delivers an impromptu marriage proposal, Vanessa unmasks more than his scarred face, but will his true identity and her penchant for fleeing grooms ruin what could very well be love?

Opportunity threw them together but circumstances might tear them apart.

Can you share with us your current work(s) in progress?

It seems like I always have something in the works. Right now I’m writing a contemporary ménage plus I’m also working on the first book in a new Regency series. I have the cover for this one and it’s the best motivation. It’s so sexy!

What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?

That’s hand’s down easy: never stop writing. Write what you love. Often and always. And never let anyone tell you it won’t sell, work, etc. If you put passion in your writing and tell a great tale, it will find an audience.

I’d love to connect with you around the web! Here’s where you can find me:

 She wants an affair…Maggie, Lady Parker desires a man, but she’s not willing to leave freedom in Surrey to find scandal in London. Widowed for years, she wants to conduct a big enough scandal that a gentleman might come calling merely to see if the rumors about her are true.

He wants a shot at Parliament…Stephen Tarkington is a self-professed rogue but if he had his way, he’d be a philanthropist. The only thing prohibiting his dream is his lack of sponsorship for a spot in Parliament. Marrying Lady Parker’s niece could solve his problem.

Sometimes the heart wants more…Imagine his surprise when he meets the widow and she’s not an old bird he can charm. She’s vibrant, sharp-tongued and enchanting to boot. Passion flares between them, and Stephen gives up on his plan… in search of a more pleasurable gamble.

Maggie is immediately drawn to the charming, handsome gentleman, but will a simple affair fulfill her needs? A scrape with public scandal will toss them into a situation that may just satisfy both of their secret desires.
