Thank you Jennifer L. Armentrout!


From light-bending bad boys with brilliant green eyes, to astronomy partners with pet turtles and a penchant for making mouth-watering chocolate cookies, Jennifer L. Armentrout is nothing if not master of the hot guy. The Smokin’ Hot Guy. We love her men. We lust for them. We turn pages like starved romance fiends for want of them. The adventures rock. The pages sizzle. The witty asides and snarky banter never fail to make us smile. Jennifer’s not just a bestselling author, she’s a dream-weaver, and I most definitely, like so many others, am caught completely under her spell.

When I learned Jennifer had read and liked my work, I was so excited, I literally couldn’t sleep for a few days after. Crazy? No. I love her books. I’m sure you do, too. And the fact that she has now posted an excerpt of my novel along with a contest on her website is quite simply amazing.

As if that weren’t enough, Jennifer has also put me in touch with the gorgeous male cover model we have in common, her Daemon, my Julian, the real live Pepe Toth, who is more charming in real life than you can imagine. And I’ll be proving it to you in an interview I’ve recently had with him that will be appearing tomorrow on my blog at www.sabrinaelkins.com.

Thank you so much, Jennifer, for everything you’ve done and are doing to help promote Stir Me Up. I’m extremely grateful to you for your support!

Thank You, Katie McGarry!!

I am a huge Katie McGarry fan. Her books, for me, are always finished in the wee hours of the morning, because I simply can't put them down once I start reading them. I greatly admire her authentic voice and storytelling prowess -- and I have mad love for each and every one of her characters (though I must admit to having a favorite among them: Beth). It is a huge honor for me to have Katie's endorsement, and I'm even more overwhelmed that she is now holding a contest to help launch Stir Me Up. Thank you so much, Katie, for your generosity and support. I can't want to read Crash Into You, coming November 26th!

The Great Steven E. Gordon Art Giveaway


Hello! How's your Labor Day weekend going so far? I'm excited to get the festivities started here with the announcement that my website has gone live -- and to celebrate, I'm giving away a bunch of free stuff decorated with the gorgeous illustration of Stir Me Up by renowned animation artist Steven E. Gordon.

Steven is the phenomenally-talented character designer behind X-Men: Evolution, The Swan Princess and The Ultimate Avengers. It's an honor to have his drawing of my main characters, Cami and Julian, in this hot embrace. It's a focal point of my website, and I'm delighted to be putting it on aprons, key chains and magnets for you. Interested? Visit me at www.sabrinaelkins.com for more details.

Hello and welcome to my very first blog ever!

I'm extremely excited this week to be putting together the last finishing touches on my website, www.sabrinaelkins.com, which should go live any day now.

First, I'm so thrilled to have blurbs from two of my absolute favorite YA authors, Jennifer Echols and Katie McGarry! When these blurbs first came in, I was on cloud nine for days! It's an amazing feeling to learn authors you admire like your work!

Also, I am so excited to have artwork from my famous and incredibly cool animator friend Steven E. Gordon on the website. Isn't his drawing of Cami and Julian awesome?

Because there's a lot of cooking in Stir Me Up, and because I'm a foodie, I've included some recipes for you with step-by-step photos. I also have a gallery for posting fan art, which should hopefully be fun.

My book comes out next month, on Oct. 1st, and we'll definitely have some very cool giveaways and promotions before then. In fact, be sure to check back in a few days. I think I'll be announcing one shortly!

Thanks so much for checking in with me!
