Demon’s Past – Blurb

Today I am excited to share with you the blurb for my upcoming novel Demon’s Past!

Demon’s Past by Shari Sakurai

When apprentice merchant Thane Bremen travels with his family to Nagasaki, he is more excited about the exotic destination than studying his trade. A chance encounter with a local man gives Thane the opportunity to learn more about the culture of Japan.

Kokawa Taku is unlike anyone Thane has ever met before. He is outgoing, charming, spontaneous and Thane finds himself instantly drawn to him. Taku opens Thane’s eyes to new experiences, and perhaps a different future to the one that is mapped out for him. When their friendship turns into romance, Thane struggles with his father’s expectations for him and how the society he is from would view his relationship with Taku.

As they become closer, Thane learns that Taku is a vampire. With this, he begins to understand just what it means for them both. Taku will live forever, and Thane’s life will be over in a comparative blink of an eye. While Thane contemplates what it is to love the immortal, a disaster strikes that threatens to part them sooner than either of them thought was possible.

Demon’s Past will be release in ebook and print format on Friday 7th March 2025!

Shari’s Life: Life Update

Shari's Life

It’s been a long time since I made one of these posts so I wanted to make one today to explain my social media absence and lack of new book releases. 

I have been diagnosed with a long-term illness. I am a very private person so I do not wish to go into much detail about it. It is not fatal, but it isn’t much fun and is having a major impact on my life right now. It is certainly manageable although not curable. I am having help to figure out the best way to manage it and continue to have a mostly normal and happy life. Until I can do this, I’ve to put a lot of things on hold including writing and social media. I am slowly starting to get back into writing now but this will mean further delays with the Demon’s Blood universe and Perfect World series. I want to say I am hoping to make progress enough to comment on timescales but I really can’t at the moment. 

I hope everyone enjoying and following both series’ understands, and I will post updates as soon as am able. I hope everyone is doing well and I am looking forward to getting back on social media properly in the near future.
