Do Smart Girls Make Better Lovers?#loverherbrain

January 29, 2016 by Melissa Rea Leave a Comment

 

Do smart girls make better lovers, one might ask? Giacomo Casanova certainly thought so. This eighteenth century libertine had well over a hundred lovers. He would certainly go for the quick hook-up but always preferred to be in love. The few women he found that, in his words, “would have made me constant,” were always intelligent.

It takes more than just an education to make a smart girl. She needs a passion for the finer things, like art, music, literature and countless others. Casanova would often meet a woman he did not at first find attractive. When he discovered she read his favorite poets better than he did, he burned with love. One of his true loves once brought him to tears playing the cello and he was not much of a music fan.

What would he think of today’s modern smart girls? Wouldn’t it be fun to find out? Well you might want to read my novel CONJURING CASANOVA. The notorious gentleman comes to 2016 in a fun romp. The smart girl and the playboy both learn life changing lessons.

This week I approved the front and back cover and copy to print Advanced Reader’s Copies. That is where my little story becomes a real book for the first time. These will be used to secure reviews and sales.  So my friends, rise to the challenge. Who knows what wonders await this week for us.

To Write is to Beg

January 18, 2016 by Melissa Rea 1 Comment

When you choose a book, you look at the endorsements, right? Well I have a doozy for the back of my cover.

 

“Casanova got a bad rep for about three centuries. He was confused with Don Juan, he was censored until 1960, he was dismissed as a writer, and he was lumped together with famous misogynists. After the true text of the “Story of my Life” appeared in 1960, his admirers hastened to rescue the famous 18th century lover and illuminist from ignorance and neglect. Melissa Rea has brought him to life in our time. He was hard to resist in his lifetime and as this novel makes it clear he’s just as seductive now”

Andrei Codrescu, author of “Casanova in Bohemia”
