Everyone hates taxes, I know. But the interesting thing about this time of year is it allows us to reflect on what we did (and what we spent–LOL) last year.
I’m so steeped in what I am doing now, sometimes I forget all the joys of last year, so I thought I would write them down.
Here are some of my accomplishments and joys in 2014. I’m sharing them with you because YOU made them possible. THANK YOU for reading and supporting my passion! If it weren’t for you, I would be shuffling papers for some draconian agency instead of exploring new worlds and creating stories that excite and thrill me! (And hopefully you!)
Here are some of the highlights of 2014 my accountant and I have been reliving:
January: Devlin’s Dare releases. Readers love this sexy snarky Macarena-fest. http://www.amazon.com/Devlins-Dare-Tryst-Island-Book-ebook/dp/B00I3V2NTO/
February: Dark Duke comes out to rave reviews. This is one of my favorite books so I am delighted! http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Duke-Noble-Passions-Book-ebook/dp/B00ID8MAJU/ Jayne Rylon mentions it in her newsletter and I squee myself.
March: I am invited to scribe 3 books in the Untamed Highlander series for St. Martin’s Press (The first releases in September!) I cannot wait! (You can preorder now! 🙂 ) http://www.amazon.com/Hannah-Highlander-Untamed-Highlanders-Sabrina-ebook/dp/B00TDRJ8JU/
April: Brigand, the companion book to Dark Duke explodes on the scene! Regency readers love it! http://www.amazon.com/Brigand-Noble-Passions-Book-4-ebook/dp/B00JUTD3L0/
ALSO I discover that Rebound is a RONE finalist (thanks to InD’Tale Magazine) http://www.amazon.com/Rebound-Tryst-Island-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00C44H0OE/
May: Parker’s Passion (Book 6 in the Tryst Island Series) releases http://www.amazon.com/Parkers-Passion-Tryst-Island-Book-ebook/dp/B00K4FJPTS/
ALSO I have the most fun ever at RT in NOLA with Lucy Carol and meet so many wonderful readers! I will never forget the amazing lunch I had with Deb Werksman and Barbara Vey! I felt like a princess! Also, at that conference, I gained 5 pounds, but we won’t focus on that, okay?
June: Hot Alpha SEALs comes out (featuring awesome authors Delilah Devlin, Elle James, Sharon Hamilton and more!) The collection hits the New York Times and the USA Today Bestseller list! There might have been some alcohol that night.
July: Defiant (Book 5 in the Noble Passion Series) releases. Readers love it. http://www.amazon.com/Defiant-Noble-Passions-Book-5-ebook/dp/B00M0L22YY/
ALSO I was a featured speaker at the Pacific Northwest Writers Association conference (Thank you Pam Binder!)
August: Whipped releases in the Brought to his Knees Collection–readers ADORE IT and beg for more!
ALSO Dark Fancy wins the Carolyn Reader’s Choice Award for Historical Romance http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Fancy-Noble-Passions-Book-ebook/dp/B00AN86ILY/
September: Hometown Heroes Collection releases and soars up the charts. Now Heartbreak on a Stick is a stand alone reader favorite! http://www.amazon.com/Heartbreak-Stick-Sabrina-York-ebook/dp/B00TA5FWQS/
October: Dark Duke wins the Golden Ankh Legend Award.
ALSO I was thrilled to speak with Anna Alexander and Gail Bridges at the EmeraldCity WritersConference
November: WTRAFSOG #8 releases and becomes an instant hit thanks to Summer Daniels! http://www.amazon.com/What-Read-After-FSOG-Collection-ebook/dp/B00PX9RJWA/
December: Snow Angels (from Decadent Publishing) releases http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Angels-Calendar-Men-Book-ebook/dp/B00NF6LWZS/
ALSO the Cowboy 12-Pack (with Cynthia D’Alba, Becky Mcgraw Books, Donna Michaels and more!) goes up on Preorder (It eventually hits both the NYT and USA Today bestseller lists!) It was such a scorching hit, we’re planning another!! http://www.amazon.com/Cowboy-12-Pack-Twelve-Novel-Boxed-ebook/dp/B00PKTN7SI/
WHAT A FABULOUS YEAR! And that hardly covers it all. There were so many wonderful moments featuring all of you! I would also like to acknowledge the efforts, support and incredible dedication of the amazing ladies on the Royal Street Team. You humble me daily. <3
I thank you so much for everything!
So what’s next?
Busy, busy, busy! I’m working on my Hot Highlanders, Elite Metal Ghosts (Special Ops/MC Club!), The Incomparables (Waterloo Collection), Cowboy Firemen, A Highland Time Travel, more Tryst Island and more steamy, funny, snarky adventures.
Don’t miss a single one! Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to get alerts! It will be a fantastic year, I know it!!

I loved your Whipped, =) It was awesome <3
What a great year you´ve had, that´s awesome too 😉
I wish I had something to remember when I did my tax, but everything is already filled in when I do mine here in Sweden, so I just check that the numbers match, and then I sign.
Hope this year is just as great for you, as last year =)
Happy Thursday!
//Linda
Linda, I seriously think I need to move to Sweden. That sounds DREAMY.
“Everything is already filled in”
Drooled in my mouth a little…
🙂
It´s expensive with all the taxes, but we get a lot for the money 😉
Happy Saturday!

I loved dark duke ! I’m a regency reader mostly but I will read other genres if they look interesting! Pool man looked so good I had to get it!
🙂 Beverly! Thank you!
I don’t think I can pick one, I loved the Tryst Island series. Loved Ellora’s Cave books. Actually I love all your books
I would love to read your books.
Too many good ones to choose from but am reading the SEALs now
The Real McCoy because I love cowboys and romance! 🙂
I love Rebound and Smoking Holt!!! I even loved them more when a friend gifted them to me on paperback!!!
You’re a new to me author!!..Ready to dig in to your books!
I like all of Sabrina’s books that I have read because they are well written and I enjoy hawt stuff.
You are a busy bee! I lean on the contemporary and erotic side of your writing. I’m not sure I can pick a favorite though.
congratulations!
Tryst Island are still my favorites
You are as busy as the bees. I didn’t do much last year. We moved to Oregon for just six months now back to California. My husband got the job he was hoping for so I got where he goes usually. Lol.
Congrats on the job, Lola!
Yep, I am pretty busy! This year is turning out pretty awesome too!!!
🙂 Good luck in the giveaway!
I just met you at the Barbara Vey Reader Luncheon this year and am looking forward to reading the book I bought – Heartbreak on a Stick.
<3 Sheila! It was awesome meeting you. I would love to hear what you think!!!!!!
SHeila, that was an amazing conference! I hope you enjoy the book!
I’ve enjoyed all the ones I’ve read so far, Sabrina–just depends on what I’m in the mood for… cowboys? SEALs? a Regency rake? Highlander??? All of the above? 😀
<3 Fedora!
