Great New Things and Crying
Good Friday to everyone,
I had a rather melancholic beginning to my day. I saw a picture of someone close to me, who I don't see as often as I'd like. He has been quite unhappy for many years, due to circumstances that long since escaped his control. There is one bright spot - a lovely, beautiful baby girl and he has made her his entire world. She makes him laugh with her little girl giggles and the silly things she says. I know he'd give up everything to have her with him every day.
However, in the picture I saw, he looked happy. The sparkle was in his eyes, that scampy little twist to his mouth that always told me the little imp in him was alive and well. There were traces of his old self in the picture and it made me cry - for him.
It told me there was hope for a happy outcome to his life, one that includes laughter, love and a carefree air that can only come when heavy burdens are lifted and he is able to walk in the sunshine again. That love has entered his life and that he knows he is worthy of it. Grab it and hold on tight, dear one. Seems like you found a keeper.
GREAT NEW THINGS
Brita Addams is branching out. Last night, quite out of the blue, I was invited to be one of seven authors who are writing an anthology on the Seven Deadly Sins. My sin is Vanity, which, really, has never been something I've ever been guilty of. However, I will create a character who is nothing but - stay tuned.
I have three books coming up, two written by Brita and one by Tina. This week, the wonderful cover artist, Reese Dante, over at Silver Publishing, created a book cover that knocked my socks off. She is very communicative with authors, asking a gazillion questions, in an effort to get the cover the author feels will represent the book the best. I love that about Reese - she doesn't assume anything about the cover, she wants input from the author.
During one of our back and forth sessions, she asked me if I'd ever heard of cover model, Jimmy Thomas. As fortune would have it, just the day before, I'd been looking at his myriad covers and drooling, er, ah, wishing, that I too, could have a Jimmy Thomas cover. The man is gorgeous, personable and he loves his fans.
Reese and I looked at pictures and though I loved them, there was something missing. Soooo, Reese contact Jimmy and asked if he had any pictures that were closer to what I had described. Low and behold, he sent her several and among them was the gem that has found it's way onto my cover.
There he is, on the right, my perfect Laurent Kinsdale, vampire supreme. Love Immortal is part of a three book series, Mysterious Moonlight, and I've already asked Reese to prepare, for I wish to have Mr. Thomas on all the covers.
I changed my Facebook avatar to this book cover and to my surprise, Jimmy changed his to the same cover, saying how much he loved it. Hooty-Whoo! I say!
The edits are done and we are just waiting for December 4th to roll around, when Laurent Kinsdale and Sebastian FitzHugh are unleased on an unsuspecting world.
RED LIPSTICK JOURNALS
I became a part of now eight, soon to be ten, erotic authors, who have created the Red Lipstick Journals. It is an erotic blog, with diverse entries, Naughty Excerpts, advice and many surprises. It is a no-holds-barred romp with definite adult themes. Remember, we are erotic authors, or authors who write erotica. Yeah, that's it!
OTHER PROJECTS
Aside from writing the second book in my Mysterious Moonlight series, I am working on two other books at the same time, lest grass grow under my feet. I was asked how I keep everything straight and I answered, lots of index cards!
Yes, Brita is busy. My muse is working overtime, even if he is on London time. I have a strange feeling, I'll be writing my little fingers off to please the demanding guy, but then, that IS what I love to do.
Till next time,
Luv,
Brita
