We all have our little quirks and idiosyncrasies that make us who we are. The two of us who collectively write as Sarah O’Rourke are just a little bit quirkier than the average bear, and we’ve share our must haves for getting into the writing scene.
1. A clean house – because my co-author says that I am a freak of nature who is OCD.
2. A quiet area – this would mean that my children should be at school…way, way, far away at school.
3. A cappuccino blast from Baskin Robbins – and if my husband knows what’s good for him, there will be a spare in the freezer
4. My trusty computer – which I have been known to hit upside the monitor when it wants to be difficult
5. My phone - so I can call my co-author and grumble that the characters aren’t speaking to me
6. Instant messaging – so I can annoy my co-author when she is trying to write that one special section.
7. Chocolate – preferably in multiple forms or a milkshake. A good husband will provide Godivas. My husband ain’t always that good.
8. A comfy bed so I can curl up on my pillows while writing – ‘cause let’s face it…who wants to have to always sit at a desk?
9. That one niggling idea that is just demanding to be written – and won’t leave your mind alone until it is put on paper.
10. Inspiration. Remember, peeps, we write romantic and erotica. This inspiration has to come from somewhere. Husbands, do you hear this?????
So, friends, what is on your must-have list in order to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard?
Sarah O'Rourke is the alter ego of two best friends who have taken their passion for romantic fiction, erotica, along with a slight twist into the paranormal, to the publishing world. Born and raised in the southern United States, one lives near Louisville, KY, while the other resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither is ever very far from a tall glass of sweet iced tea, their dog-eared copies of Gone With the Wind, or their Steel Magnolias DVDs!
Formerly an accountant and a chemist, they are now overworked, stay-at-home moms who adore their children, their husbands...and writing about love in every way possible! Choosing the professional name Sarah O'Rourke was a spur-of-the-moment decision...and it worked!!
OUR NEWEST RELEASE...CAIN'S SALVATION!

Surrounded by her loving sisters, Faith McKinnon had faced her own demons, having thought that the love of her life had deserted her. But fate...and a few meddling McKinnon sisters...conspired to bring the two star-crossed lovers together again.

***SLAVE TO PASSION! Join our new couple at The Estate....a place where decadence meets delicious depravity! Madison Laurant is successful in life...but repressed in the bedroom. Her desires are barely contained under the surface, just waiting to be stoked and fanned into a raging inferno by the one man brave enough to brave her defenses...her law partner, Hunter DeLuca. Hunter knows exactly what Madison needs, even if she isn't yet aware of it herself. And when she finds herself enjoying the delicious depravity that The Estate offers, she realizes how much she has missed in her life! Slave to Passion is graphic erotica mixed with a steamy, romantic plot that will keep you begging for more!
***DISTURBED, DAZED & DELIGHTED!!
Love in New York City has never been so much fun! Cassidy Reeves is normally a self-assured professional publicist, capable of reigning in the most recalcitrant of clients in the Big Apple. That is, until she has to deal with her own modern-day devil in denim jeans, David Madison. But are his Italian temper and smoldering good looks any match for her velvet glove tactics? Banter abounds in this modern-day Tracy and Hepburn collision...with the requisite happy ending.
***Inescapable Eye of the Storm is the first in a four-story sexy series centering around Abigail Donovon and Colin Storm. While the weather may be wicked outside, the storm inside their relationship is positively dangerous!
***The Estate is a fun romp through the secretive underground world of an elite sex club...and the chapters grow steamier with each page!
***The Devil's Snare will draw you deep into the web of the sometimes hilarious and always serious world of the paranormal...where an Angel and the Devil walk into a dark & dingy bar and fight for the soul of a man that is completely unaware of the battle!
***Every woman has that man that she always wonders "what could have been?" Hart's Desire answers that question...and then some! When opportunity finally presents itself, inhibitions fall away and Anna finds her very own heart's desire...and a very public display of passion binds them both together with the invisible threads of sensuality.
