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!!!

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...

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...

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***
