HI everyone and thank you to Rebecca Lynn for inviting me to join this wonderful group of writers. I am very excited to be here!

Let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Sarah Hoss, I am 37 and a married mother of three. That alone keeps me busy. We live out in the country in a small community in Indiana where some of my neighbors and friends are Amish.

When I told my friend that I was going to join this group, she gave me a look and asked if I was serious. Then it dawned on me; the name. I was one of the biggest fans of New Kids on the Block. Yes, I really was. I had everything they sold and I was in love with Jon. That seems a long time ago now. But how fitting to have one of my most memorable times of my life share the same name with this memorable time in my life.

I started writing 3 years ago and had wanted to write children's books but I could never get an idea to come to me. It was very frustrating. I loved to read and did so all the time. I got hooked on Scottish themed romances when I picked up Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I have been smitten every since and that is what I write. Historical romance with a time travel twist. I have many ideas about different kids of books I want to write includig a Native American romance.

One day I was driving down the road and I had this idea come to mind. I could see the countryside; see the dark hair of my heroine blowing in the wind. Then the story started to come to me. I went straight home and wrote it all down. I finished Highland Dreams in October. After I started editing I went looking for an agent. Book two is well under way and I am enjoying writing that one as much as I did the first one. I haven't found an agent yet, though I have had one ask for seconds. Here's to keeping our fingers crossed! ; ) I have made great friends along the way. Some have been published authors and some haven't, but all are wonderful ladies that I am lucky to have met.

I am a member of RWA and CHRW. You can find me on my blog at www.heart-of-romance.blogspot.com or on Facebook. Just look for Sarah Hoss, Author. Hope to see you there!

I feel like I am leaving something out and I imagine two hours after I post this I will be thinking, "Oh man, I should have said that!" But I will get to post on here again so anything I have forgotten, I will mention then. As for now, I will say good bye and until next time!!
