Chick Lit Author: Kasey Michaels

Kasey Michaels is a New York Times and USA Today best selling author with over 100 titles published. She has written Regency romances, Regency historicals, category books including novellas and continuities and a few series “launch” books, and single title contemporaries.

Michaels began writing when her eldest son was 8 years old, and suffered kidney failure. She was surrounded by sick children, including her own, and she noticed that many of the hospital nurses and other mothers would read romance novels, a way for them to escape the realities. She had written her first book, The Belligerent Miss Boynton, before her sons kidney failure, with little thought to making it a career. Her second book, The Tenacious Miss Tamerlane, was written over the course of 9 months while her son waited for his first transplant. After that second book, her writing career began to take off. Michaels says that she has learned “that one of the best ways to keep your sanity is to escape reality every once in a while.”

Some of Kasey Michael’s popular chick lit titles include: Too Good to Be True, Love to Love You Baby, Be My Baby Tonight, This Must Be Love, and This Can’t Be Love. Please visit Michael’s official website for the complete list of her titles.

Barbara Walters Most Fascinating

Barbara Walters has decided on the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009. While I don’t agree with all her choices, it was still an interesting special to watch last night. Who did make her list?

Adam Lambert- American Idol Alum who gave a sexually shocking performance at the AMA’s

Brett Favre- NFL quarterback that has retired and unretired multiple times, still playing at age 40

Glenn Beck – Fox News Host

Jenny Sanford- Wife of philandering South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford

Kate Gosselin- Reality TV mom of 8, recently going through a bitter divorce

Lady Gaga- Singer and performer, known for her eccentric style and performances

Sarah Palin- Former GOP Vice-Presidential candidate

Tyler Perry- Actor and producer, most popular films are the Madea movies

The Three Michael Jackson Children – Paris, Prince, and Blanket

But Walters Most Fascinating Person- First Lady Michelle Obama. Walters and Obama talked about the importance of promoting healthy living and trying to beat childhood obesity. Obama recently started a vegetable garden on the White House Lawn and holds health fairs with exercise stations for children. The First Lady is a fan of working out herself, and often shows off some seriously sculpted arms. She told Walters on working out, “I really started right after I had Malia, our oldest, and some of that was, you know, in all honesty it was a little sort of revenge because I’m married to a man who has worked out all of his life. And regardless of how busy he is, he finds the time to work out. And there was a point at which I got a little resentful of that.”

The 27 year old said this, “This is exclusive and going to be all over the news tomorrow, but because I love you guys so much, we are giving you the exclusive first — Tila army fans — tonight, my girlfriend has asked me to marry her!” About her ring she says is a “17-carat diamond ring from my baby.
