Jennifer Zobair, author of Painted Hands, says:
"Hauntingly lyrical and richly detailed, Sarah Hina’s second novel is a smart, sophisticated exploration of online romance. Like the finest maestro in complete control of her craft, Hina interweaves delicate, plaintive sections the reader will slow to savor, with raw, carnal passages that cause pages to turn in a flurry. Sarabande is wondrous and soaring—like art, like music, like love—should be. An uncommonly beautiful book."
I started writing Sarabande in 2009. It's now 2017. So you might say this novel was a bit of a slow burner for me. It didn't always come easy. These two characters—Anna and Colin—demanded I get their story right.
In the end, I think I did. This is the story I wanted to tell. A love story for our modern times, if also a bit of an old-fashioned dance.
sarabande:
n.
- 1. A fast, erotic dance of the 1500s of Mexico and Spain.
- 2. A stately court dance of the 1600s and 1700s, in slow triple time.
- 3. The music for either of these dances.
If you'd like to take a dip, here's a preview just for you:
I'd be very grateful if you decided to purchase a copy. And if, after reading, you could manage to post a few kind words in a review on Amazon, or Goodreads, I'd be downright giddy.
Thanks to you all. I know blogs don't have the reach they once enjoyed, but I appreciate the readers who still swing by here on occasion, and I count you all as friends.

Charles, thank you! I still remember the review you wrote for my first novel. I am so grateful.
Paul, that was a very kind thing to say. :)
I'm not sure whether the world needs more of my writing right now, but it feels good to finally get this story out there. Thanks so much.
