Behold, my first video blog. And a contest! I’ll draw winners on Monday, December 8th.
P.S. I swear I’m normally not this scattered, but I did this first thing in the morning before my hair was even dry and before I’d had my caffeine. Enjoy!
P.S.S. However, I am normally that pale. I blame it on the fact that I’m part British. It’s totally my father’s fault I’m a lighter shade of pasty.

It’s nice to know i’m not the only person video blogging because of Lauren Dane :D
And I love watching people’s video blogs even if there is no contest (silly crystal).
But umm, yeah i want me some of those coverflats and bookmarks! (and the books would be quite nice too
)

Great video!! I really enjoyed it. Very original, even though you say you copied the concept. I love the cover of On the Prowl. Sexy Beast V HAS a nice bottom also. Please put me in for the giveaways also.

Oh, Lawd…
B&N really need to go get stuffed.
But since they don’t like naked backsides, that won’t happen. LOL!
I’m all about the nakedidity!
Ciao!

Wooho, it’s a VBlog!

Comment
Oooooh Look at you!
Not only do I get to hear you, I get to see you too! That is so cool!

Woo hoo! Congrats on the first v-blog. It’s like a mini-reunion with Crystal.
Love the hawt covers you’re flashing..is that in a cubicle at work?
Comment
Are you kidding? Why else would we want to watch indeed. It’s Great to get to know a writer this way!
To put a face and voice to the person who writes these most excellent stories!!
Don’t get me wrong, having cover flats and bookmarks of Sexy Beast is a definite bonus
but for those who can’t travel to bookstores or cons this is a great way to get to know a writer on a personal level!
Thanks for sharing!!

Well, the good thing about working in a library is the computers are open to the public for things like this. But I can pretend to be bad if you like :evilaugh:
Comment
omg! It’s not my fault.
Good job, sweets.
Unlike the Author Talk video, which was the first time I saw you “live and in person”…your lips moved in time with your words! ;)
Comment
I’m crazy like that

I love to watch author videoblogs! I’ve watched Megan and Lauren’s and it makes me feel as if I know them. I’m too shy to do it myself. You did a great job and you’re a lovely speaker. Please do more!

Awww! Thank you, Saskia! You’re a peach

Hey Crystal that was a great first video blog and to tell you the truth this is the first video blog I’ve ever seen. So you are my first
. I recently stopped by BN and saw your amazing cover for Carnal Desires when I walked by the romance section.
I wished I could have bought it but it was $14 and I only had $5 on me at the time and I was without my bank card. But it is definitely on my wishlist sicne I read your blurb of it.
The cover flats are amazing and I loved the bookmarks which I will be e-mailing you about because I love collecting them. You did a wonderful video blog and I hope to see more.

VLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gah! No Vlog-the-retarded-vampires! No!

nice to see your lovely face Ms Crystal. I too have the pale English complexion thing going on for me too, despite living in CA. Nice to see the ‘proper’ cover on Sexy Beast V. I’m still hoping to see the original cover of Simply Sexual which was a naked man’s butt-before they scrapped it!
Comment
Naked man butt…yum!
Comment
This was just the cutest most awesome you tube. I feel like I know you so much better now. (was that creepy?) oops (it wasn’t meant to be)
Very cool. You know one of those book flats of Carnal Desires would look fantastically inspiring beside my computer. If I’m lucky enough to have the cover of your book to look at that’s fine too.
Cool vid.

Great Job, Crystal!
No way I could look that good without caffeine!

Hmmm…I saw no backside. I saw the right side of his leg..but what a nice right side.
Great video. You should make more of them
Comment
Awesome! That was so cool. I’ve never seen one of those either. I’ll have to go check out Lauren’s blog and look at one of hers. And you know I soooo want a book flat….and a bookmark too…and the free book. I’m greedy…damn!
Comment
Crystal, You are adorable! LOL. You made me smile the whole time. And I didn’t watch it for the gifties.
I tried one of these. I wanted to make a video newsletter. It came out terrible. Don’t try this with a regular ol’ digital camera or a phone. LOL

Yeah, I did it using iMovie, which is built into my Mac. It was especially nice because it let me boost the sound, which was a leetle too quiet left to its own devices.
Comment
I love this! I’ll be stealing from you one day too- if I can figure out how to do it! haha
Your cover flats look awesome. I would like some of that sexy beast hind end!

Great videoblog! Cover looks great!

Hey Crystal. I think I congratulated you on the new releases over on the P.I. forum, but this is my first time seeing your video blog. You did such a great job. That would have been daunting to me (I have a slight stutter). Were you at work?
I smiled at the limited edition coverflats for Sexy Beast. I didn’t see much of a difference but I guess Barnes & Noble was scared of offending people.
I’d like a cover flat of On the Prowl. It’s so gorgeous! Was it designed by a group of artists or one in particular?

The length is good, content is excellent — you connect very well with your audience.
