Into the Meadow - Running Rampant #1 - A Paranormal Romance

I thought I would share the cover to Into the Meadow - Running Rampant #1. I found the cover on a website called SelfPubBookCovers. It was created by an artist called FrinaArt. The image fits so perfectly with the novel. I hope you check it out!

Without further ado...

A New Pen Name and a release!

Hello everyone! I am so excited to be announcing the release of a new book under the pen name Cristie Noll. I have spent some time working hard on this book, and I am extremely proud to release it. Below you will find some links to interact with my new pen name. You, of course, can always interact with me through the blog, the Sarah McHatton Facebook page, Sarah McHatton on Twitter, or Sarah McHatton on Google Plus.

Cristie Noll is the name I will write all my romance novels under. As of right now, I have Into the Meadow available for purchase through Amazon. Here's the description:

Sophia Morgan Barlow faked her own death to escape the grasps of her abusive and deranged husband. Determined to start a new life, she finds herself in the small town of Stoney Brook working as a maid. Everything she has ever wanted in a mate appeared in her life as her new boss and is entirely off limits. Or so she thought...

Cade Branham had two goals in mind when he moved his pack to a sleep town in Tennessee at the base of the Smoky Mountains: reintroducing red wolves and modernizing his pack...until he met Sophia. Now he finds himself pursuing the woman of his dreams with a past that could destroy all his plans. 

Together, they fight the drawl of attraction as Sophia comes face-to-face with a reality she cannot escape.

This new book is under the category of Paranormal Romances. I am delving into Werewolves in this series. It is the first in the Running Rampant series. The series will continue to delve into Werewolves and perhaps some characters from the previous book.

There are many future projects under Cristie Noll. Please stay tuned for more information on releases through the website and this blog.

The Quiet Moments

There is a subtle shift that happens this time of year where muted colors turn brilliant and the air chills gradually until it stings your nose with every breath. It is in those moments and with those changes that I find a level of creativity that is unmatched. New ideas spring up and begin unfurling the branches that will create the bones of stories. I struggle to keep up and continue to work on the ever increasing work load of writing.

In the past weeks, I have experienced many ideas that have been recorded and prepared for future projects. There are many exciting things coming in 2016. Until then, I have found that I love to curl up and enjoy the quiet moments. It allows me to take stock of the present, the past, and the future. I know that sometimes reflections happen near the end of the year, but we are still a ways off from that. And yet, I find myself this cool Autumn day doing just that. I look back through my year with awe and pride.

Even as reflection comes, I am immersed in the excitement for a new year and wondering what it might bring. Perhaps that is the point of today's post. Enjoying life for what it is now and looking forward to the future. There is no room for the past. Keep that in mind as you enjoy your Autumn!
