“I felt his other hand sear hot against my cheek. He bent his head, and in a voice that Jack couldn’t hear, said, “When you came down the stairs, and fell into me, that was the moment.” Then his lips pressed against mine.”

“When I said I had no choice about helping you, I meant it. There was no other option because you are the only option. I don't trust anything at the moment. But the one thing I am sure of, the one thing I do trust..." he paused for a fraction of a second, "is the way I feel about you.”

“You and me are real people, operating in a real world. We are not figments of each other’s imagination. I am the architect of my own self, my own character and destiny. It is no use whingeing about what I might have been, I am the things I have done and nothing more. We are all free, completely free. We can each do any damn thing we want. Which is more than most of us dare to imagine.”

I think it will be after May but for the moment what you can do is get it sent to you as a pdf to your kindle email address...then you can read it on your kindle. So glad you're liking Fated!
xx
Hey Sarah, I'd like to know if Catching Suki will be published on kindle as I've seen that you can only get it on ebook, thankyou! :) I'm also reading Fated at the moment which I really love and I'm only 33 pages in! Looks like it's going to be another great book by you! :D
Hey Sarah thanks so much for accepting. I finished Fated last night and absolutely loved it. Next onto Hunting Lila :)
Thanks Ellen! So happy you like them both. Am really excited for Losing Lila's release in August. I'm keeping on writing...just starting something new today in fact!
Hi Sarah, I love Hunting Lila and can not wait till Losing Lila I also love Fated. I hope you keep writing so I can Keep reading your books :)
...Hi Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your friendship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it might have hit the shelves already...I've written two sequels so far...:) no release dates yet though
Hi sarah,I'm counting down the days to Fated :D I can't wait!!! Is fated really going to have a sequel to it? :)
Sarah wrote: "...but I've a short story from Suki's point of view coming out in December as an e-book! Alex will be in it ;)"Aaaaaand... sold! ;o)
It was wonderful Brooke - I loved it. And yes next August feels like a ridiculously long time away...but I've a short story from Suki's point of view coming out in December as an e-book! Alex will be in it ;)
Thank you so very much for liking my review, Sarah! It was rather short, incoherent and fangirl-ish(Alex will do that to a girl ;o) hehe), I'm normally much better spoken. I cannot wait for Losing Lila, and I loved the extract of Fated! I cannot wait! August next year seems so far away *cue dramatic sigh*.Brooke x
I absolutely can't wait for Losing Lila to come out. Is there an approximate date for it's release? I'm about to read Hunting Lila again! :)
It's no problem, I've been wanting it for ages and I'm so glad that I got my hands on it!I read the character interview with Lila and Alex that you sent me, and I was actually laughing at some parts. Them two have me laughing and they are so cute together! That character interview has made me want Losing Lila even more!
I'll also be looking out for the view point of Suki, really looking forward to it! :)
Thankyou for the link and telling me about the short story from Suki's POV! :D
THANK YOU! So glad you liked it. I know it is SO far away but I'm almost finished writing a short story from Suki's POV which will be out as an ebook in December (all profits going to charity). And here - this might give you something to enjoy in the meantime...http://eleusinianmysteries...
Hi Sarah, thankyou so much for accepting my friend request! I finished Hunting Lila earlier and I absolutely loved it. August 2012 is just too far away!
