For My Next Act . . .

After over two years of semi-retirement, CK returns in March 2008 under the pen name “Xavier Knight.” THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE is the first of two Christian fiction works CK has the opportunity to produce on Grand Central Publishing under the leadership of Karen Thomas, former senior editor of Kensington/Dafina. Be on the lookout for more information about the book as its March 11 release date nears! Also, for those interested in hearing THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY and THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE brought to life, they are now available on CD at www.recordedbooks.com.

CK Goes World-Wide!

I have just learned that The Perfect Blend has been acquired for publication in Croatia – you heard me, Croatia. While I’ve always dreamed of breaking into Europe via a more recognizable country like Germany or France, maybe the good taste of Croatians will bring along our more traditional allies over there. Gotta start somewhere, and it’s a blessing to be an intercontinental author now.

No More Mr. Nice Guy: The Movie:

Well, not exactly. But how about the audio book? Recorded Books has released my second book in audio form, which I finally got my hands on recently. I have to admit I was nervous at first to check it out, concerned whether the actors would get the right feel of the story. I have to say I’m impressed. I could really feel Mitchell and Nikki come to life in the voices of these actors/readers. If you have friends who don’t read much but enjoy entertaining, thoughtful stories, buy them a copy at recordedbooks.com. Thanks to everyone whose support helped bring this about.

C. Kelly Robinson Switches Publishers

C. Kelly has signed with Dutton/New American Library for his next two works of fiction. The Perfect Blend, the sequel to No More Mr. Nice Guy, will arrive in stores on January 6. His fourth novel, The Strong Silent Type, will be published in January 2005. After enjoying the support of Random House and Strivers Row for his first two books, CK is excited to join the home of Eric Jerome Dickey, Marcus Major, Bernice McFadden, and Nick Chiles and Denene Millner. Thank you to the fans whose support helped CK reach his goal of becoming a full-time author!
