Bright Spot in Romance

What a great day today! If I was a kid again, I would be so happy that today is Easter. No rain. Lots of eggs to find. Mom's home-cooking. Well, I still have Mom's home-cooking. *LOL* By the way, can anyone explain to me why a rabbit would be hiding eggs? I still don't get that. Still no word from Cheryl Ferguson on whether or not she wants to represent me. I'm hoping she'll say yes. If I don't hear from her before the Romantic Times convention next month, I'm going to stalk her. Cheryl, you have been warned! *LOL* Just kidding. Okay, time to spend time with the family. Hope you all are having a wonderful Easter. Happy reading! Crystal***

And I'm not just saying that because Kissing Casanova has got the best cover ever and it's now on sale. Well, that might be a part of the reason. :) I also love them because they just contracted my light paranormal multicultural romance, Revamped . The previous title of this novel was 666 Step Program . I changed it because although it's a joke title, I didn't want readers to think I worship the devil or anything...at least not every day! I also didn't want people to be turned off by the title. I do know some people who will do anything they can not to have to write, say or see the numbers 6-6-6 in succession. So I came up with Revamped . The title fits the story anyway. The book is about a vampire with obsessive-compulsive disorder who refuses to feed. When he doesn't feed, it throws off the balance of death. So the vampire would have to change in order to resolve the conflict, hence Revamped . How I came up with the story premise, I was watching back

It's here! It's here! After nearly 4 years of writing this novel, sweating over it, crying over it, nearly giving up on it, it's finally here! My baby, Kissing Casanova , is on sale now ! I'm so thrilled. It feels like a great validation for so many years of hard work. I believed in my little book about a pro-wrestler and a socialite. Just picture Stone Cold Steve Austin and Nicole Ritchie, just not so scary thin. *LOL* I had a dream about the story. Basically the Casanova character got in my head and wouldn't leave. He kept saying, "You know you want to write about me, right? Come on. Just do it." At first I tried to ignore him, listening to the nay-sayers in the back of my head. "You can't write a book with an entertainer or a sports figure. Readers don't want to see that." But I did it anyway, and now I'm glad. And did you all take a gander at that cover? Hubba, hubba! Eliza Black, the cover artist, did an amazing job o
