Air kisses!

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 of capturing the true images of my characters, Soledad Monroe and Casanova.

Just cross your fingers for me, folks, that New Concepts Publishing likes the other works I sent to them.

Keep reading!

Thanks, Kim! All of that crossing must have helped. New Concepts Publishing sent me a contract for my light paranormal romance, REVAMPED, about a vampire with obsessive-compulsive disorder! Whoo! Hoo!

Happy New Year, all!

Hi everyone! Hope your New Year started as great as my 2006 year ended. I got a great surprise the last day of the year. I found two new reviews for my light paranormal romance, Revamped . One came from Maura with Coffee Time Romance. She gave me 4 out of 5 Coffee Cups! Whoo! Hoo! Here's just a snippet of what she said, "Ms. Bright combines suspense and laughter deftly in this story. An obsessive compulsive master vampire is a true touch of genius here. Seth is a wonderful character; a strong man so overcome with guilt that he compensates with little rituals that gradually get out of control. Elaine is the classic good girl; always trying to be perfect to earn her mother’s love. Mina is beautiful and power mad and I loved the truly bizarre slayer, George, but the Day of Reckoning is the most exciting part of the book. Ms. Bright’s new take on vampire romance is just as good as her other work." Gotta love a review like that! My other review came from Barb with Two L...

When it rains, it pours!

First my "baby", Kissing Casanova , is put into print with New Concepts Publishing. Now my second book, Gray's Anatomy , has just been release! And did you all see the great cover for that one? Hubba! Hubba! With that cover model's body and the intimate scene, the cover truly captures the hot romance contained in the pages of that book. Although there is another pro-wrestling theme in this book, it is not a sequel to Kissing Casanova . This one is about a woman who owns a pro-wrestling company and she has to hire a company doctor to keep the company going. Enter the very sexy Dr. Gray Kennebeck. Once he comes into the picture, all bets are off! Another reason this book is special to me is because it has won in some wonderful contests. In 2004 it won the Romance Junkies Contest Junkies contest. I still have the nifty little palm pilot that came with the win. This story was also a finalist in the 2004 Romantic Times "American Title" contest. It made it up to t...

Tagged for migrating purposes

Aliyah Burke broke in her brand new blog by tagging me! Grrr! Here are the rules: 1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 2.People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. 3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. 4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog. Here are my eight random facts. Enjoy! 1.) I'm a creature of habit. I tend to drive the same paths because I know them, even if another more faster way is available. 2.) As old school rapper, Rakim, said, "I hold a microphone like a grudge." Once you're on my sh*t list, it's really hard to get back in my good graces. I don't forgive very easily, and I never forget. 3.) I hate exercising. That's pretty bad considering I just started this new diet and exercise program . 4.) My very first concert ever that I attended...
