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...

Covers! Covers! Everywhere!

As you can see from the dazzling image to your left, I just got my cover for my novel, Kissing Casanova ! I'm so thrilled the book is coming out through New Concepts Publishing! And what a cover! Hubba, hubba! The people pictured on the cover look exactly like Soledad Monroe and Casanova, my heroine and hero from the book. Don't you just want to get these two crazy kids even closer so that they can kiss? I just finished up (I hope) the last of the edits. We'll see what happens now. The book is slated to be released this Friday. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that it is! In the meantime, you can read an excerpt on my website, http://www.CrystalBrightWriter.com/ Keep reading! Crystal***

So much to do! So little time!

Sorry, I didn't mean to stay away so long. I have been swamped but in an absolutely good way. I've been working on edits for Gray's Anatomy for a few weeks now. What my editor is asking me to do will make this story so wonderful. I can't wait for it to come out, which should be around July 7th barring any major problems. And speaking of coming out, did you all notice something nifty on the "Coming Soon" page for print books? Yep, my baby, Kissing Casanova , will be out in print around July 14th! I'm absolutely thrilled that this book will FINALLY be in print and available in bookstores. Since this is my thesis for my M.A. from Seton Hill University, I will, of course, give them a couple of copies for their library. It jus makes sense to give back to the school that helped me write the book in the first place. Other than that, I'll be waiting to do edits for Revamped . Then who knows what I'll do after that. I'm an author on the move, bab...
