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 Lips Reviews. She gave me 4 Lips out of 5 and gave me a 2 Pepper heat rating! Here's what she had to say,

"Revamped by Crystal B. Bright brings a different spin to the world of the vampire, but still is able to keep the most interesting things about them intact. The mystery, that tingling fear, the need for the unknown, and last, but never the least, the desire to see just what its like to let him sink his fangs…deep…"

Now that's the way to end a year! I just hope I can keep that momentum going through the new year. Keep your fingers crossed for me. And also cross your fingers that Parker Publishing will e-mail or call about Crazy in Love. I know a lot of you have asked me about that manuscript. Still no word. The 6-month mark would have been December 2006. I just have to keep writing and be patient. Good things come to those who wait, right?

Okay, gotta get going. Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year!

Keep reading!

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...
