Introducing myself...

Well, I've officially joined the world of blogging. Just chalk me up as another writer who figures she has enough to say to justify taking up space in the blogosphere. Anyway, my name is Sharon and I'm in the process of getting my first book published. I'm excited and intimidated by the thought of finally having a book in the stores. Having studied and read other writers-bloggers, I know that I'm in for a roller coaster ride, which can be a stomach-lurching thrill.

The novel is entitled Again and is being published by Brava/Kensington and can be described as a genre bender: romance, paranormal, multicultural, erotic with some historical. It was a blast to write, and hopefully the stages of getting it into book form and finally into the stores will be equally gratifying.

Here is the wonderful blurb the editors have put together:


In this breathtakingly sexy novel, Sharon Cullars invites you into two worlds—modern Chicago and 1879 New York—and into the lives of two lovers whose unforgettable passion transcends time. But will their attraction bring an undying love…or set in motion a harrowing destiny?


    THEIR DESIRE IS DESTINY

The minute Chicago journalist Tyne Jensen spots the man with the sexy green eyes at her sister’s wedding, she is haunted by the feeling that their meeting is more than chance. There is something familiar about David Carvelli, something that makes her remember another man’s hands caressing her, his warm mouth igniting a fire along the sweep of her neck, his voice a deep growl in her ear—I’ll never let you go…we’re going to be together forever…

David Carvelli can’t explain his reaction to Tyne. Sure, she’s a beautiful, intelligent woman with a great smile and skin like cinnamon silk. But there’s something more. He isn’t just intrigued by Tyne; he’s drawn to her—just like the woman in his dreams. A woman he desires and pleasures and loves more than reason…a woman in grave danger whom he must protect…possibly even from himself…

Caught up in a white-hot affair neither can resist or understand, Tyne and David have one chance to get it right, to uncover the secrets and sins of the past…before they are doomed to repeat them…


Pretty good, huh? Usually, I just summarize it like this: modern-day couple Tyne and David (BW/WM), meet and are immediately drawn to one another. But their growing relationship is threatened by a tragedy that happened in their past...in 19th century New York. The only one who senses the coming storm is a psychic who has reason to be concerned - since David is her son.


Not as good as the editors' but heart-felt. Anyway, I'll be noting the progress of the book as it goes from loose-leaf pages to an actual bound book in the stores.


I'll also note those items of interest in the romance genre, especially concerning the sub-genres of multicultural, paranormal and interracial, which are the focus of most my writings. I also have a short story due out next year in an horror anthology entitled Masques V, which is being edited by J. N. Williamson and Gary Braunbeck.


In the meantime, I have put together a website, which will officially go up in a couple of months. If you want to check out Again, you can read an excerpt at:
