Crazy on YouA Love and Harmony Romance #3 by Crystal B. BrightGenre: Contemporary RomancePub Date: 2/12/2018

Worse than a one-hit wonder, Tassia Hogan is a one-line wonder. Infamous for a memorable, extremely provocative verse, her music career is going nowhere. Finding a decent man to date has also proven fruitless . . . they all think she’s as wanton as those lyrics. But now her label is offering Tassia the chance to shine—with a catch. The album is duets. Her partner is a Country Western singer. And he’s just as reluctant to agree as she is.Hyde Love has been in the music business since he was eleven, and he’s becoming more and more disenchanted with it. Collaborating on an album seems great in theory, but Tassia is an R&B singer. Melding their sounds and personalities will be difficult—though not as tough as keeping things strictly business. Getting involved with his partner could prove career-wrecking, yet discovering the real Tassia could be earth-shattering.

Judy Nichols lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, but she is by no means a "Southern writer." Born in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in the nearby town of Batavia, she still is a no-nonsense midwesterner. Although she does find true southerners quite charming.
Judy holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University. She has been a newspaper reporter, a teacher, a temporary office worker, a customer service representative, a stay-at-home mom, a volunteer, and a proud organizer of the now defunct Cape Fear Crime Festival mystery writers' conference.
Judy started her first novel "Caviar Dreams" while her daughter was napping one day. Five years later it was finished. The biggest challenge arrived once her daughter stopped taking naps and eventually lost interest in watching the "Toy Story" video.
Since then she has gone on to write several more books, including the Ian Dodge Mysteries inspired by her UK born husband Nigel. Ian Dodge is a persnickety private investigator, living in coastal North Carolina, who refuses to be assimilated and instead hangs on to every shred of his Britishness.
Now that her daughter is grown up and gone, she spends lots of quality time with her husband and Bailey the Wonder Dog. Also, reading and writing good books.

Meredith Allison has embraced her nerdiness from youth, with minor jaunts of attempting to be "cool" during high school and college. Spoiler alert: she was unsuccessful at fooling anyone. After this dark period, she returned to the light, embracing her bookish nature and penchant for action and horror films, bloody survivalist video games (she's looking at you, Resident Evil and Call of Duty) interspersed with the occasional sweeping fantasy adventure RPG (Final Fantasy, anyone?). Along the way, she developed her knack for storytelling, which began when she was a mere child-person many moons ago.

Meredith is a writer (and reader) of many kinds of fiction, but in particular spy thrillers, military-esque suspense, and historical crime. A native of Lincoln, Nebraska, she is by proxy a Huskers fan (GO BIG RED!), as UNL is her undergraduate alma mater, and moonlights as an obligatory Blue Jays fan due to completing her graduate MFA studies at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
When she emerges from her writing cave, blinking in dismay at having to be exposed to the cruel light of day yet again, she can be found romping with her two Pomeranians, serving her overlord cat, hanging with her husband, battling it out with the undead or practicing a new kind of magery on her PlayStation, or simply huddled in a dark corner somewhere with just enough light to read a favorite book. Other interests include baking, cooking, and blogging about new restaurants.

My Life In Typos

If you’ve read a few posts of this blog, you might’ve guessed that I have more typos in my body than blood cells.As a writer, I find typos frustrating because no matter how many times I read a piece, there will always be something I miss. It’s like a curse!!!But sometimes typos can be funny, well, they are most of the times, or at least, I find them funny, haha, and I want to share some of them.Just yesterday, I was writing this little, emotional scene where my male protag says to the girl “You’re my beacon.”Of course I wrote, “You’re my bacon.”Great. How to ruin a scene by missing an “e”, haha. I blame my hubby who always says that pigs are his best friends.
I was entering my novel, The Heart Collector, in a local contest, and I had to choose a few categories: romance, steampunk, mysteries, and historical romance.The website kept saying that the genre “historical romance” didn’t exist. I tried again, but nope. Historical romance wasn’t an accepted category. I was getting quite annoyed until I realised I was typing “hysterical romance” haha.
Months ago, at work, I was exchanging emails with my boss and few other people. My boss was a bit overwhelmed at that time, and she was getting frustrated about a couple of things that weren’t going as she wanted. The conversation escalated when my boss complained about the lack of help on a report she was writing. People were getting upset, and I wanted to smooth things down. So I wanted to write I was happy to have a look at the report, but I wrote, “If you need another pair of ice . . .” haha.Well, at least that made everyone laughs, lol.
Last one! Years ago, I sent six query letters to six different agents with the same, awful typo. Instead of “word count” I wrote . . . Well,  cut an “o” and use your imagination ;)

E. Kaiser Writes was born into a family of readers, and got started on storytelling around the age of four when her older siblings prompted her into recounting an absolutely ridiculous account of a parallel childhood. It was good for the family's general entertainment, and she discovered the thrill of making people laugh.At the age of seven her mother read the Hobbit aloud, and a fascination with beautiful fantasy was born. At nine she came to the decision that she wanted to be a writer, and set to reading rabidly to learn the art. At thirteen she attempted her first novel, and it was eaten in a computer's demise.Afterward, during her teenage years she tried very hard at various times to stop writing all together.
Not succeeding, she at last gave in to her addiction, and wrote "for fun".
Her first novel, Jeweler's Apprentice, is a light-fantasy adventure for teens. The shy, bookish heroine is thrust out on the first step toward the adventure that awaits, and growing up. More books in this series are expected.
