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-to-back episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Monk" one day. It was kind of like that whole "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter." and "You got your peanut butter in my chocolate." Two great tastes that go great together. Who wouldn't want to see an anal-retentive vampire. They're just about that anyway. I just pushed this one a little bit further than he should have gone. *LOL*

And are you all enjoying Kissing Casanova? I hope you are. Please feel free to post your comments on my blog or on my guestbook. I would love to hear from you.

Until then, happy reading!

Re-vamped sounds like an interesting move - don't think i"ve read an obsessive compulsive vamp.

I read the excerpt of "Revamped" and I want this book. I can not wait to read it and not just because The Rock was inspiration...hahaha.

BTW...I give you 5 stars for "Kissing Cassanova". That book was great....I absolutely loved the Wal-Mart shopping spree.

If you can't tell, Wal-Mart is my home away from home. *LOL* Love that place. And I love that it's open 24/7!

Thank you for the 5-Star review for KISSING CASANOVA. You've made my day!

Crystal, this sounds really good! I was just imagining the whole premise of an ocd vamp and cracked up. Being a mental health therapist, maybe I really get the humor of that, but it sounds awesome!!!

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
