I just got the cover of The Bridge to Nowhere out next month! I’m super excited about it! I’m thrilled with how it turned out! #writing #writingcommunity #paranormalromance
Cover of The Bridge to Nowhere by Sarah Burr. Silhouettes of a woman and a man playing a guitar above a bridge with strange, ghostly light coming off it and in front of a flowery Dia de Los Nuertos skull.

A setting (the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge near Taos) inspired my book, The Road to Nowhere, New Mexico #querying .) That bridge both captivates and frightens me. It feels haunted, so naturally I wrote a ghost story about it.

I wish I was better at coming up with #cat captions. (Also remembering #caturday before Sunday.) Anyway this is my half cat half dragon telling me the shelves we installed aren’t big enough.

The Bridge is a marvel of modern engineering and surprisingly majestic for a little piece of nowhere in New Mexico. Ever since her brother's suicide, Amelia walks it every night, trying to talk people out of jumping. One night she meets a mysterious man who changes everything. #A #P #R #bluepit 📖

It’s unusual for a writing exercise to make me both laugh and cry. My poor, troubled, generous, hilarious, wonderful protagonist. This Christmas I’m grateful for my imaginary friend, Ezra, and the world we’re creating together. #writingcommunity #amwriting
