Sherrod Story – Here lies your book boyfriend…naked.
American romance novelist of paranormal, erotic, contemporary and young adult/new adult fiction
I did it. I finally cut the cord. It’s only been an ice age, but How to Love a Pink Demon is live in the Amazon Kindle story. Phew! I hope you love Steele. I didn’t actually do her justice. She’s seriously much better in my head. We’re talking the black, female Jason Bourne sans … Continue reading How to Love a Pink Demon is now live! She’s out, she’s out, my next book is fiiii-nally out. Phew.
Y’all know I love worldbuilding. It’s why science fiction appeals to me. The freedom to bend the laws of physics and turn Earth bound notions on their proverbial ear.
That and I love the paranormal romance genre. Vampires, valkyrie, fairies, dragons, trolls, I love them all.
Of course, you know demons hold a special place in my heart. There is an infinite variety, and I’ve embarked on my own color coded series to explore each one’s gifts.
How to Love a Blue Demon was my first foray into the genre and my hero Eyoen has a special place in my heart. This lovable blue demon was willing to do just about anything to be with his human mate Cass.
Please enjoy this first bit of the book. How to Love a Blue Demon is out now.
XOXO,
SS
“Well?”
Eyoen shuffled his feet uncomfortably. He was more than 250 years old, and his father made him feel like a pup just weaned.
“Well?” his father’s voice demanded louder. “What do you have to say for yourself?”
“I didn’t know she was our neighbor, father,” he said softly.
“You didn’t know that you were fucking our neighbor’s daughter?” his sire yelled. “That’s what I’m supposed to tell the demon? My son defiled your oldest daughter, but he might not have if he’d known who she was? She hasn’t been home a full day, and he’s already preparing to send her back to the convent. The convent, Eyoen! How did you manage to corrupt a virgin in less than 24 hours?” Continue reading “He was a prince of the realm. He wanted to go to Earth – for a woman. What was the big deal?”
So, my heroine Steele is a tough guy. She carries a gun, routinely breaks the law, and as ex-military she has the skills and the chops to handle herself like a G in most any situation. She’s also got a past, a not so pretty past, but this? Finding out her latest lover/work project isn’t human? That’s a bit much even for a tough guy.
In this unedited snippet, Steele discovers that Miles, Australian actor of the blond hair and bright blue eyes, is actually a demon. All things considered, she takes it pretty well. Not.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
SS
“Thirsty?”
He helped her sit up and instantly there was a glass at her lips. Eva drank down the cool, infused water.
“Mmmm. Thanks.”
They stared at each other for a while.
“That was interesting,” she eventually drawled.
Miles laughed. “Interesting, hey?”
“Not good enough? How about fabulous. Mind blowing. Out of this world. I’m not even sure what happened,” she admitted.
“You came a lot, and then you fainted. Then we took a bath and you insisted on sleeping.” He still looked disapproving.
She grunted and came up on one arm, mimicking his pose with chin on hand. “That’s never happened to me before. The fainting, I mean.”
He smiled gently, his green eyes warm and shining on her face. “There’s a first time for everything.” Continue reading “It’s not everyday a woman finds out her lover is a demon.”
So, I’m hard at work on the next installment of my demon series – any guesses on the next color? – but in this post let’s reminisce about my last offering. Big, beautiful and green, Lucky could fix anything, and our heroine Lou loved him for it.
Enjoy this snippet from How to Love a Green Demon. Y’all know I love world building, and in it I offer you a glimpse of Lucky as a cub with his parents, before he ever comes to Earth.
Shall I start dropping snippets from the new book in a few weeks?
Peace,
SS
“They would abandon our cub to the mercy of the winds if it would save their selfish necks!” She spat into the dirt, pacing angrily. “Do you see how quickly they all agree? They don’t even think! They just nod their heads and follow along like a herd of jurts, caring for nothing but pecking the dirt for seeds.
“I swear, Sansone. They would send him off today if I let them. A cub! Barely able to speak, let alone feed or fend for himself.”
“He will not go yet. We won’t allow it. He must have time to grow and mature, to learn to defend himself. But eventually,” he said gently. “You know that he must go, my love.” Continue reading ““I’m not opposed to visiting another planet, in theory. But I doubt the adapter for my laptop will work; that’s an issue.””
Lou and Lucky’s love story is finally finished, y’all. I had to cut the cord, force my crooked fingers to release their grip, and this erotic paranormal romance novel is now out in the world. I hope you guys like it. I hope you leave good reviews. I hope you tell your friends. I hope … Continue reading Ladies and gentlemen, How to Love a Green Demon is now live! #erotic #paranormal #romance
Man. It’s getting hard to find snippets because I don’t want to give any of the surprises away. In fact, I just realized that last post was a repeat – sorry! To make up for it, this unedited snippet is twice as long as usual. I’m gonna release How to Love a Green Demon in August. Meantime, enjoy. – SS
He never missed a patch of skin, never missed a spot, finding without error that slightly rough patch inside her that drove her out of her mind. Thinking wasn’t even possible. Panting, yes, grunting yes, moaning, absolutely, scratching her short nails over his broad green back, certainly. Thought, no. To think would have been disrespectful.
Loving like theirs deserved one’s full attention, anything less would be like spitting in God’s face. Lucky’s touch was like being kissed by a sunbeam, stroked by velvet, eating the perfect scone and lemon curd and getting a fat ass direct deposit, all at the same bloody time.
He could sense exactly where on her body to touch to elicit just the response he wanted, and he only wanted one thing – to turn her into a heaving, slobbering mess. One who threw her hips at him like a mechanized piston, arched her back and thrust her tits out so he could watch them bounce on her chest as he pounded her into whatever surface she happened to be on. Ground, pallet, a thick carpet of flowers, he could care less. His goal was simple – to hear her scream out his name. Continue reading “Snippet: Lou n Lucky #amwriting #erotic #paranormal #romance”
I think I’m finally done, y’all. All that’s left now is the editing. And I’m about to plow through that ish, cuz I wanna get on to the next story…meantime, please enjoy this unedited snippet from the beginning of the story. I hope you like this little taste of demon life. – SS
Time passed. Lucky had just celebrated his seventh month. It was a special milestone, and as was custom, his brothers and sisters threw a small party in their hut. He sat in the middle of his family wearing a crown made of leaves and twine, his fat cheeks creased from smiling and his chubby hands clapping as they sang the family birth song.
He laughed and laughed, joyfully accepting their pats and kisses and squeezing hugs with his usual aplomb. Lucky never cried, not even when he hurt himself. A few tears might fall from his big yellow eyes, but he never made the ugly sounds other cubs did when they couldn’t get their way.
Sucire suspected it was because he didn’t need to; her son always got his way. Neither family, villager nor animal could say no to his winsome smile.
When they finished singing there was a scratching at the door. When Sansone peered out he saw nothing. Assuming it was the wind he went back to the celebration, but the scratching came again. This time he threw open the door.
A gurine sat there, a rurfer between its long, sharp teeth. The creature laid the animal at Sansone’s feet and let out a roar.
Lucky heard it and toddled over. His family watched wide eyed as he wrapped himself around one of the creature’s powerful legs and hugged it, speaking in a language none of them knew but that the creature seemed to understand.

You may have noticed I’ve been gone – bitch we’re waiting on the book. Of course we noticed you were gone. – I’m sorry, guys. Bad writer! I know, I’m not proud of myself, but I do have a half way decent excuse. I had surgery three weeks ago, and I’ve been recuperating. I’ve also been working on the book. I’ve started editing, so it won’t be long now. Meantime, here’s a snippet from right after Lou and Lucky become a couple. The relationship is new and full of angst, at least on Lou’s end. But it’s lovely and fresh and sexually exciting. I hope you like it. – SS
She wanted to reciprocate, to stroke his long, beautiful body, to shape his muscles, squeeze hand fulls of his little ass – she’d managed only once before and longed to hold that work of art again – though he had a penchant for holding her wrists in his, keeping her where he wanted her, he said. She wanted to lick and bite and suck until her jaw ached and she was short of breath from being crammed so full. But she could barely move. Her limbs felt too heavy. All she could do was lay there like a live wire, writhing and twitching while he did as he liked, shaping and molding her flesh, stroking and heating her like rising dough.
It was intoxicating, fucking extraordinary, really. She’d never felt loving like that. And because she was helpless under his hands, she had to be content with his sighs and moans, with his twitching and writhing when she managed to break free and clasp the back of his neck and bring his mouth to hers, or gave him the bite of her nails in his back, the lift of her hips beneath the heavy strokes of his clever cock.
She adored the fevered beat of his heart through her skin when he smushed her into the bed. She reveled in the pounding when he veered over the edge, unable to control himself, his grunts, that fierce glitter in his eyes right before they closed and his mouth fell open, and he shook and trembled in her arms.
She could feel his satisfaction. It was like the slide of fur along the skin, though in reality all he’d done was gasp out a weak laugh. But that laugh was enough. She felt proud, accomplished. It felt better than winning her Academy Awards. Continue reading “Snippet: Lou n Lucky #amwriting #erotic #paranormal #romance”
In this snippet toward the beginning of the book you get a taste of baby Lucky before he left Natoroi to live as a human on Earth. To say he’s popular with the animals would be a rather big understatement, as his poor mother finds out. See if you can figure out the Earth animal equivalents. Enjoy – SS
Lucky had just celebrated his seventh month. It was a special time, a milestone, and as was custom, his brothers and sisters threw a small party in their hut.

Lucky heard it and toddled over. His family watched wide eyed as he wrapped himself around one of the creature’s powerful legs and hugged it, speaking in a language none of them knew but that the creature seemed to understand.
Sucire gasped when the animal bared razor sharp teeth and gently picked Lucky up by the leg, carrying him out laughing, dangling upside down into their courtyard where a coterie of forest animals had gathered, all bearing gifts, nuts, berries, sour fruit from the yhust tree.

I love world building. It’s one of my favorite things about writing paranormal romance. You can let your mind pull you in all sorts of crazy directions – as long as it works for the story. Creating the world of Natoroi, Lucky’s ancestral home, was like being immersed in the warm waters of unspoiled Mexico. Slightly salty, but oh so lovely for the body and the spirit. Please enjoy this unedited snippet. Lou feels immediately at home on this alien planet. I hope you will too… – SS
The visitor’s pool was the size of a small lake, and there was a beautiful old wood dock. A stand of small trees acted like a screen, and they were encouraged to go behind it, don the robes hanging there, and make their way into the pool.
Sucire and Sansone set down their spears and unclipped the rather wicked looking stone knives from their belts and dove into the placid brown water as is. Emerging a few breaths later in the middle of the pool, floating on their backs.
After donning the sleeveless, short, pale green robe with its clever twine hooks – Potts’ garment was longer he was glad to see – made of some soft, plant-based material, Lou emerged from behind the screen, and found Lucky waiting, hand outstretched. His beautiful green body now adorned with the same leather like vest and soft shorts his father had worn, sans the tall, protective leather that had covered their feet and calves.
“Ready?”
“Potts?”
He grinned at her. “As I’ll ever be. Lead the way.”
“Join hands,” Lucky instructed. “We approach the waters’ edge together, and we walk in together to symbolize our desire to be one with this environment, to be peaceful and to act in concert with all those with whom we will interact during our stay.”
“Lovely,” Potts breathed. Continue reading “Snippet: Lou n Lucky #amwriting #erotic #paranormal #romance”
