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!

I love New Concepts Publishing!

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...

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...

First time blogger, long time reader

Hi y'all! My name is Crystal B. Bright. Yes, that's my real name. No, I don't think my mother was drunk when she birth me. Maybe when she conceived me. But who's ever heard of a 9 month-drunk? Oh, really? Never mind. Anyway, I'm thrilled to have my very first blog as Crystal B. Bright and even more excited about my contracted sale of Kissing Casaonva to New Concepts Publishing! It's been an exciting time for me. I also contracted Gray's Anatomy to Mystique Romance, which is through Ocean's Mist Press. The writing is all going well and I hope for nothing but big things this year. Right now I'm late for work so I got to go! Keep reading! Crystal***
