I’ve been married to my too-hot-to-handle, sexy husband for over 23 years, we have two adult children to God’s glory and live in London, UK. My romance stories feature sexy heroes who have hearts and souls and curvy heroines who are smart and know what they want. My lively, flawed characters who on their quest to find love will elevate your pulse rate, make your heart skip here & there, so that you’ll laugh, shed a tear sometimes and gasp for breath as their story unfolds.

When I'm not writing, I'm having a laugh watching movies with my honey-boo, swimming like a star fish, or on mom duties with my grown-ups, or praising God in my own corner of the world. I dare you to read any or all of my steamy romance stories. I’ll love to hear from you.

#BlackAuthorsMatter ~ #AuthorInterview with @saderenawrites







Hello Romance Lovers, 

Welcome again to my New Series on Black Authors Matter. After my New Release; Longing for You: A BWWM Sweet & Steamy Romance hit Amazon #1 New Release in African Literature on June 1st 2020 and became a #1 Bestseller on 17th June 2020, I decided to start a movement to promote Black Romance Authors or Authors who write about characters of colour. 

In the coming months, I'm going to showcase one black romance author after another and their great books. 

Just sit back and take a slow sip from your choice drink because you are about to meet the number 13th Black Romance Author on my list. Her name is Author Sade Rena! Sade was born and raised in Washington DC and she now resides in DFW Texas, USA. 


AUTHOR: Sade Rena

BOOK TITLE: My Virgin Cowboy

GENRE: Multicultural Romance
RELEASE DATE: April 15, 2020
WORD COUNT: 76k



Drum roll please...


We want to know a bit about your family life?

I’m the oldest of seven children, none of my own. Until 2019, all of my great-grandparents were still with us. My family can be crazy, but they all support me in everything I do.


What drives you to write romance stories?

I love, love. I’m probably the biggest romantic of my friends and even in my family. Growing up, we didn’t have that many healthy representations of romance. Writing has always been in me, but as I got older and experienced my own struggles with love, I wanted to tell stories were love transcends race and other life issues.


Do you have hidden messages woven into your stories?

Yes, a lot of my stories touch on topics and beliefs that have been passed down through generations. They’re subtle messages, displayed by the way my heroines overcome issues, from owning her sexuality, from dating younger men, to choosing herself, dating outside of her race, to standing in her strength as a professional and getting out of her own way.


What’s the best thing about your writing and publishing routine?

I guess I would say the best thing about my writing is how well I connect with many of my characters. As far as my routine, I’ll get back to you on that. Lol! I’m still figuring that out.


What steps did you take to publish your first book?

When I published my first book, I had no idea what I was doing. I purchased an image from this stock site and paid $5 to have it turned into a full wrap. It did not fit the tone of the book at all and it was evident. I hired an editor that was an epic fail. But even with all those wrongs, I sold over 100 paperback copies the first day it released. But I uploaded to Createspace and Smashwords and just waited to see if it would take off—it didn’t.


How did you come up with the idea for your recent book/Who’s your favourite character and why?

A guy I was dating a while back actually gave me an idea for a scene. Being one who watches the market, I knew Cowboys were popular right now, so I took his scene, coupled with a real-life experience with a male virgin, made the hero a Cowboy and thus we have, My Virgin Cowboy.


What’s the hardest thing about the publishing process?

I’d say that for me, the hardest part is the release launch, making sure you have all your ducks in a row to make the most of that time and as much income as possible.


Why should a new reader buy your book(s)?

If you like off the wall plots, tons of tropes, and dirty sex scenes, then pick up a title.


Working on a new book/project?

I’m working on way too many projects. I’m finishing up a short story for the Love Me Always charity anthology. Then I’ll wrap up bonus content for Avalanche, previously apart of the Emerging Temptations boxed set. After all of that, more of my cowboys need to be written.

Brag about any awards or badges.

The best I’ve got is winning 1st place in a nationwide poetry contest when I was 13. Lol


Any thoughts on Black Lives Matter Movement?

I stand for all Black lives and People of Color.

Read the blurb of Sade's book, A Virgin Cowboy below:

Don't forget to grab a copy of any of her other book!





Renee
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. That's one thing I didn't hope for when I moved across the country. My new small-town life is exactly what I need. A far cry from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Screw the heart.  

What I need now is to start over—a new lease on life and one night of passion.  Everything was going great until the hottie from the bar shares he's never had his hand in the cookie jar before. No big deal. I'll never see him again. But then I show up to dinner and learn the random guy I hooked up with is my best friend's little brother.
Parker
Embarrassment isn't enough to describe what I felt when she walked into the dining room. I made a fool of myself. Showed my inexperience and was sure the memory would be with her forever. But there she is, just as surprised as me. She wants me to forget. Pretend it never happened.
Thing is—it did, and I’m glad about it.
Now all I want is to make up for the last time. A chance to do it right—all the time.


MY VIRGIN COWBOY is a BWWM, best friend's sibling, small-town romance, that will grab you by the heart, make you laugh, and make you fall in love with even the side characters.
