Sherrill Quinn's Interests
|
| General | They're mostly sedentary interests: reading, writing, watching TV/movies, visiting my cyber-friends on their blogs. I enjoy seeing new places, but am very happy to get home again.
Of course, since I live in beautiful southern Arizona, being home isn't exactly a hardship!
| | Music | My tastes in music are very eclectic. I like Creed, Smashmouth, Staind, Godsmack, Dave Matthews Band, Neil Diamond, Enya, the Carpenters, Stevie Ray Vaughn, CCR, Steppenwolf, anything Celtic, pretty much anything from the 70s and 80s. When I'm in the mood for it, I enjoy Big Band, jazz, country, and light classical.
| | Movies | Casino Royale, Phantom of the Opera, Dracula Dead and Loving It, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, Arsenic and Old Lace, Underworld, X-Men and X-Men2 (X-3 I haven't decided yet, even after all this time. Just about everybody died. Phfft), Waking Ned Devine, French Kiss, The Italian Job, The Count of Monte Cristo (the remake with Jim Caviezel), and The Dream Team.
| | Television | Moonlight, Reaper, Dr. Who, Torchwood, Ghost Whisperer, Stargate Atlantis (and Stargate SG-1, though it's been canceled), LOST, NCIS, CSI (the original), Two and a Half Men, Law & Order SVU, and Law & Order CI.
I enjoy watching the Discovery Channel and the History Channel--especially Wild West Tech.
Some of my favorite old shows are Diagnosis: Murder, Murder She Wrote, Alias Smith & Jones, Kindred, Dark Shadows (the remake with Ben Cross as Barnabas Collins), Starsky & Hutch, The Avengers, Star Trek TNG, Barney Miller, Quincy MD, The Odd Couple, The Carol Burnett Show, and Remington Steele.
| | Books | I really enjoy reading romance and fantasy, some science fiction and horror, and anything to do with vampires, werewolves, and Jack the Ripper.
One of the best writer's books is Stephen King's On Writing. If you're a writer and haven't read this book, you should!

Sherrill Quinn's Blurbs |
About me:
 Generate your own contact table!
This site is for people 18 years old and older.
ABOUT ME: I have always loved reading romance novels--what can I say? I'm a sucker for happy endings! I briefly toyed with the idea of writing for publication back in 1998-1999, and had a couple of short stories published in now-defunct magazines. Then in 2000 I moved to Arizona, took a very demanding, time-consuming, stressful job and had no energy for anything else.
Somehow, my love of writing was able to claw its way back to the surface, and in April 2005 I took an online "How to Write Erotic Romance" class, hosted by Jan Springer. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.
Having decided that the day-job (Human Resources VP) was slowly but surely killing me, I sold my house and made the decision to live off of the profits for one year while I wrote full-time. I resigned on September 1st, 2005, signed my first contract eight days later, and haven't looked back!
Of course, now I'm working a day job again, and it went full-time in December '06. I went part-time again in September '07 and hope to be able to continue to focus the bulk of my energy on my writing career. Wish me luck!
I'm thrilled to say I've signed a three-book deal with Kensington Brava for an erotic paranormal trilogy. The first book, Daring the Moon, is due out January 2009!

DARK PANTHEON: WICKED OMEN
Kalla of Messenia and Nikolaos of Sparta are enemies. More than that, as a Spartan general and an Aresian vampire, Nikolaos is twice-descended from Ares, god of war. Nikolaos is a warrior to be reckoned with--not someone Kalla wants to cross. But even as she reminds herself this man, this vampire, is her enemy, she cannot stop herself from falling in lust with him.
Nikolaos has reason to mistrust Kalla but cannot deny his desire for her. Together they must face a common enemy--one who threatens both Nikolaos' way of life and Kalla's family. But defeating their foe does not guarantee their happiness. What will Nikolaos do when he discovers Kalla is not what she seems? And when a secret is revealed to Kalla about her background, will that help or hinder her cause?

When her grandmother arranges to have the men come to the house to set them up with a new security system, the men seize the opportunity to convince Jessie she's wrong.

Add an encouraging grandma and the approving ghost of her grandfather, and luck just might be on their side...

OBSIDIAN'S FLAME
Samantha Burton is trying to obtain proof that the mining process of a rare mineral is causing sterility among the Enhanced—humans exiled from Earth after being genetically mutated by secret government procedures. She, herself, is one of the Enhanced—she is partially empathic and can shoot fire from her hands.
She runs into trouble, however, in the form of Marcus "Trey" Treyva--Obsidian, the captain of the Elite Security team in the mining town of Nowhere. His enhancement, the ability to form an impenetrable body armor, makes him immune to her flames.
But when Trey is betrayed by someone close to him, Samantha may be his only hope of survival. Will Obsidian's Flame save him, or will he be devoured by her fire?

THE WOLF OF CNOC MEADHA,
part of the Phoenix Rising I Anthology
Connor mac Finnbheara, the son of Finnbheara, the powerful king of the Daoine Sidhe, is sent on an errand by his mother to locate MacKenzie McCallum. The queen is concerned about Mackey--the young woman had been a favorite at the king's court many, many years before. A favorite wolfhound, that is. The queen had discovered the king in yet another dalliance with a flighty young fae woman, and in retaliation she turned his favorite hound into a woman. In anger, the king banished Mackey to live in the human realm, never to return to the land of the Fae.
The queen thinks to ease two burdened souls at once: Connor will find Mackey and convince her she's better off as a woman, and Mackey will soothe the prince's troubled heart.
There's just one problem. Centuries before, Connor had been cursed with lycanthropy and, under the full moon, will attack anything Fae. Is Mackey human enough to be safe from harm?
Here's what reviewers have said about The Wolf of Cnoc Meadha:
"A funny and quirky story by an imaginative and fresh author, with plenty of sexual tension and amusing characters and situations to keep the reader enthralled. Recommended." 5 Shamrocks! (Lee M., CK2S Kwips and Kritiques)

THE CLAIMING
Best Seller!
As an Intergalactic Marshal, Kassinda Marjani was all about the job. When her brother was imprisoned on trumped-up charges and she was virtually blackmailed into capturing Rhys Valorian... well, she'd bring in the exiled vampire prince and her former lover to save her brother's life. But things don't always go according to plan, and when she and Rhys crash land on a barbaric planet where men cherish their women and see to their pleasure whenever--and wherever--necessary, Kass realizes she might have to move onto Plan B. If only she had a Plan B.
Good thing she has Rhys.
Here's what reviewers have said about The Claiming:
"Sherrill Quinn's writing is utterly addictive! Once again, she's penned a highly erotic... adventure-packed story that left me begging for more. The love scenes are so intense I had to check more than once for scorch marks. In addition, Ms. Quinn's sense of humor is delightful -- how she turned "purple spiny one" into a sexy endearment is just one obvious example of her brilliant writing ability." 5 Flags! (Kerin, EuroReviews)
"Ms. Quinn shows considerable thought in her world building... I loved this universe she has created and hope there are more stories planned for it. This story doesn’t give much time to secondary characters, but instead centers on just Rhys and Kass’s interactions, which were very enjoyable. For some very hot sci-fi fantasy adventure, I recommend The Claiming." 4 Stars! Heat Level: O (Orgasmic) (Kirra, Just Erotic Romance Reviews)

When Cat comes into his life and puts herself in harm's way, it's time to make a decision.
His job or her life?

ATONEMENT
Nominated for a 2007 CAPA Award!
When the Prince of Darkness offers Simon Trelawney the chance to redeem himself by wresting Jack the Ripper's intended victim from beneath his nose, it isnt the chance of redemption that appeals to him as much as the chance for revenge against the vampire who turned him over a hundred years ago.
Tessa Long is not just any victim, however. She's the great-granddaughter of the woman Jack originally planned to possess and kill, a victim he is obsessed with claiming, and Simon discovers that it will not be the Prince of Darkness who decides his fate. It is Tessa herself who will either be his salvation or the death of him.
Here's what readers have had to say about Atonement:
"I made a comment about buying this book because of the cover... I'm glad I bought it! I give this newbie author 2 thumbs up! In a short number of pages Ms. Quinn manages to give this story a strong plot and characters that are well worth remembering. Get this book! It's worth your time and money!" (T, reader)
"Excitement and gratification take on new meaning under the expert pen of Sherrill Quinn. Atonement is hell, fire and pure pleasure rolled into one seductive story." (Sloane Taylor, author)
And reviewers have said:
"Sherrill Quinn takes the reader on an exciting ride, full of action. The story is told with a generous amount of humor. The love scenes are beautifully written. I hope Ms. Quinn plans to write more Vampire stories. I would love to read them." 4 Stars! (Candy, Ecataromance)
"Hot-Hot-Hot. That is what you get when you read Atonement by Sherrill Quinn.... I found the chemistry between Simon and Tessa amazingly passionate, and Ms. Quinn did an amazing job of capturing that passion in writing. The only thing that can be said about Simon ... is DAMN. Be prepared to take breaks, because Simon will definitely make you need them! An absolute thrill to read, this one is worth keeping!" 4 Stars! (Stacey, Just Erotic Romance Reviews)
