HAPPY EASTER

I've written E-books on the major holidays: Christmas, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, Valentine's Day and Memorial Day.
For some strange reason, Easter hasn't made the holiday rotation. It's considered a major holiday, especially how much money I've spent on my daughter's dresses, weave, shoes and candy baskets over her childhood and teenage years.
I surfed the internet for romance novels on Easter and only came up with a handful of legitimate ones in the past few years.
Two were written by Lois Richter- A Baby by Easter and Easter Promises (Allie Pleither co-author). Sara Hylton wrote Easter at the Lakes. Lenora Worth and Gail Gaymer Martin co-wrote Easter Blessings.
I'll make it my business to produce a Easter romance novel by the time the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection comes around next year.  Who knows- I may revise one of my previously-released books into a Easter tale.
Until next time, Happy Easter.

A LITTLE DISTURBANCE



 
Author Stacy Deanne drops by to promote her latest E-book, Disturbed.

Check out the Blurb:
Baltimore Detective Lisa Swanson is stunned when Detective Winston Lewis informs her that Devon Barnes, a young man stabbed to death in a park, had her name and number in his phone. Lisa insists she never met or heard of Devon and has no idea why he would have her information.

As Winston investigates, he has an eerie feeling that Lisa’s information being in Devon’s phone connects to his murder as well as a belief that Lisa might be hiding something. Lisa remains adamant that she does not know Barnes, but when her fingerprints show up on the knife used in Devon’s murder, Winston finds himself choosing between his feelings for her and doing his duty as a police officer. Pushed into a corner, Winston arrests Lisa for Devon’s murder.

After Lisa makes bail, she teams up with Winston to find out how and why the evidence points to her as Devon’s killer. The investigation leads to Lisa questioning someone from her past who not only could have the answers to her questions, but could also be the reason for her recent nightmare.

WRITING ABOUT YOUR LIFE

My life isn't the most interesting. I haven't climbed Mount Everest nor serve an important position in President Obama's cabinet.

But I've created great memories with family and friends during my 45 years of existence.
I've managed to put together one book about my life.
Book 1 of the College Love 101 series-- How to Cure a Cajun Cold- was based on my summer spent at Fisk University in Nashville. I met and fell in love with a future doctor from Xavier University out of New Orleans. Our lives went in different directions from the 1990 stint, but for the first time, my eyes were open to bigger things outside my Tuscaloosa, Alabama prism.
Next year will be my 25th anniversary of the Pre-Med institute at Fisk. Hopefully, Cajun Cold will be in print. I'm currently working on rewriting my first-ever piece.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your Sunday.

K.T. BISHOP - Romance-wiki

Good morning:
            If I appeared on wikipedia, here's what it would look like:

K.T. BISHOP

             
                    K.T. Bishop (born October 18, 1969) is a Electronic Book author of Sports Romance novels. He's known for his four best-sellers: A Taste of Italy, Cajun Blues, Classified Love and End of the Rainbow.

Early Life

                Bishop was born on October 18, 1969 at Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He graduated from Cottondale Elementary in 1982, Holt High School in 1988 and Stillman College in 1992.

                During Bishop's last two years at Holt High, he developed a passion for writing. He served as Sports Editor of the Purple Reign, the school's newspaper from 1986 to 1988. It was this experience under Gail Cates that inspired to pursue a successful sports writing career.

                At Stillman College, Bishop's writing blossomed under the tutelage of Professor Stephen Flanigan Jackson. He was Sports Editor of the Tigers' Paw from 1989 to 1991 and Editor-in-chief in 1991 until his graduation the following spring. He graduated with honors from high school and college with a B.S. in Journalism.

                Three experiences during this span served as the turning point in Bishop's life.

                In 1990, Bishop attended a pre-medical institute at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. He had no aspiration to enter the medical field, but the six-week period later became the inspiration for his acclaimed College Love 101 series at Red Rose Publishing: How to Cure a Cajun Cold, Catching a Cuban Curveball and Back in Love Again.

Author Career

              A decade into his journalism career, Bishop became an author. His first E-book, How to Cure A Cajun Cold, was released at Red Rose Publishing in 2008. A year later, Picking Cotton was released.

                A Taste of Italy was Bishop's breakthrough hit in 2014, spending six weeks at number one on www.Allromanceebooks.com.

                Cajun Blues peaked at the third position at ARE.

                Classified Love, formerly released at Rebel Ink Press, reached the seventh spot at ARE in 2012.

                End of the Rainbow, reached 10th at ARE in 2014.

                Four other E-books cracked the Top 40 at ARE: A Christmas Reunion (13th), A Cajun Christmas (15th), A Cajun Halloween (16th) and Curling Up (23rd).

                Since 2008,  Bishop has written 48 books and 28 have been published. Nineteen are published at Red Rose.

Feeling a case of Cajun Blues

Cajun Blues was reviewed by Coffee time Romance. Here's what they had to say about my first-ever number one book at Red Rose Publishing:

CAJUN BLUES

Cajun Heat, Book 3
K.T BISHOP

ISBN#: 9781454303053

January 2014

Red Rose Publishng

www.redrosepublishing.com

E-book

$1.99

64 Pages

Mainstream Romance, Contemporary, Interracial/Multicultural

Rating: 3 Cups

Divina has no problem with taking advantage of a situation. She gets the case to make her name as a defense attorney and she gets to see the one boy who made her sweat in her youth.

Gator is a simple man who has been arrested for the only way of life he has ever known, and has just become a criminal. He is shocked to find a sexy lady who is calling herself his lawyer and is a blast from the past.

Gator wants to beat the bad rap but he is unsure about what he will do when he has to give up his way of life. Divina wants to win Gator's case but she would rather win so much more.

I loved Gator and Divina because they were two complete opposites, but as they say opposites attract. The story line is intriguing though I do feel the story was rushed and the love a little difficult to believe. Cajun Blues is truly a story of revisiting your youth and instead of the man of your dreams taunting you; now he just wants a taste of you. Cajun Blues is an enjoyable break from the day but it is truly a story told on the surface.

CROSSING OVER

Crossing over in the book industry is hard to achieve. When I signed my first book contract at Red Rose Publishing six years ago, getting recognition across the board was one of my goals.
Two years ago, Classified Love, ranked seventh on the best-seller list at www.Allromanceebooks.com.
This week, six of my books are ranked in the Top 30 at ARE: A Taste of Italy is number one and End of the Rainbow sits at 11th, A Christmas Reunion 13th, A Cajun Christmas 16th, A Cajun Halloween 17th, and Curling Up 26th.
I'll always love having my books on the hot seller list at www.redrosepublishing.com, but it's really satisfying to have a wider appeal.
I owe a lot of thanks to my fellow authors, Red Rose and readers who love my E-books.
Until next Sunday.....

Super Bowl XLVIII brings mixed emotions

Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos leaves me with a bittersweet taste.
On one hand, I can care less who wins between these two teams, especially since my San Francisco 49ers aren't in the game.
But on the other hand, the game brings a close to football season. I'll be going through some withdrawal next week.
For those who know me very well, can attest I'm a football junkie. My weekly routine revolves around the pigskin (I've often told my girlfriend about scheduling stuff around games). If being addicted to football was illegal, I'd have a life sentence.
Usually at this time of year, I exercise more and end up writing a few books about football to help me through this difficult time.
As far as a prediction, I think the Denver Broncos will win 27-23.
Enjoy Super Sunday....
