The Princess and the Stilettos for Valentine’s Day from Jina Bacarr on Vimeo.
When I was a little girl, a princess I wanted to be
So I got all dressed up looking for a prince to marry me
I searched high and low
But found no beau
As I got older
I got a little bolder
I dressed to kill
But no boyfriend still
What’s wrong with me? I wanted to know
I work so hard to be perfect and I’m always on the go
It’s your shoes, my best friend said, rolling her eyes
Princesses wear sexy shoes to please the guys
Like Cinderella? I said, with her slipper made of glass
Yes, you need sexy stilettos so he’ll make a pass
Not so, I assured her confident and wise
A smart girl knows how to get the guys
Oh yeah? she said, wrinkling her nose
Try it if you dare and forget your woes
So shopping I went stilettos to buy
And sexy undies to get a guy
In the end I got my prince wearing no shoes at all
Like Cinderella, I ran from the Ball
With my handsome prince hot on my tail
My stiletto in hand, looking for me to no avail
What happened, you ask? so curious and fine
How did I find my Valentine?
True, the sexy kicks helped me to catch his eye
But in the end it was something much more sly
Instead of trying so hard Miss Perfect to be
I ended up doing what came naturally
Like a dancing princess, I kicked off my shoes and danced all night
When this gorgeous man grabbed me and wouldn’t let me out of his sight
How did I know he was a man not to be missed?
Take one look at him. It was in his kiss…
A Prom Queen wannabe sells her soul to a hottie devil to get thin…the story behind the story
Every story has a backstory.
Crystal Girl started out as a one-act play and was produced at the Malibu Stage Company Theatre in Malibu, CA
At the time, the director cast a wonderful actress as a female devil and we had an “all-girl” cast. It was amazing.
Over the years, I’ve seen more and more how girls and women are often caught up in the roller coaster ride of having to be “thin.” It’s maddening.
I decided to take my one-act play and turn it into a YA novel with a new twist: the heroine falls in love with the hottie devil! The bad boy with the rock star looks, Mr. Gorgeous who can not only make her thin, but win her heart, too.
Okay, so he’s not totally bad. That wouldn’t be cool. Luke is a fallen angel who got mixed up with the wrong crowd and now he has to do the Devil’s dirty work. My heroine, Kaylee, is his latest assignment.
Then Luke falls in love with Kaylee . . . and well, you’ll see what happens n Crystal Girl!
============
Ever wanted to be Prom Queen?
Kaylee is tired of being bullied and when the Duchess–the most popular girl in her class–eggs her on with fat jokes, Kaylee can’t take it anymore.
She makes a deal with the devil to get thin . . .
================
CRYSTAL GIRL is *** FREE *** Sunday and Monday, June 3 and 4th…let me know what you think. Reviews are welcome. This isn’t an easy story to read. You’ll feel for Kaylee, then want to shake her when she makes wrong choices and Luke…never has there been a devil so hot! You’ll see why Kaylee falls in love with him.
And because I like stories that give you hope and touch you in some way, I will tell you it has a HEA and you’ll never guess how…

Royal Dare: It ain’t easy getting clean…even for a princess from Jina Bacarr on Vimeo.
ROYAL DARE It ain’t easy getting clean. Even for a princess.
I first met Princess Violetta in Sariah Wilson’s story, ROYAL DATE.
I fell in love with the Monterra family, especially Violetta. I call her the “misunderstood princess.” She has everything—looks, money and a title—yet she fell victim to the seductive power of drugs. Why? I wondered. What led her down this path?
I was intrigued to answer that question, but more importantly, I wanted to know what happened to Violetta when she went to rehab.
How hard is it for a princess to get clean? And will she find her prince when she does?
I answer this question and more in my Kindle Worlds “The Royals of Monterra” story, ROYAL DARE. You can meet see what happened to her afterward in rehab in ROYAL DARE.

Philly, Row Houses and Pretzels, oh my! #NationalPretzelDay
When I was a kid in Philly, the good Sisters of Charity welcomed the Pretzel Man every day past the iron gate and into the school yard. Oh, the excitement from the little girls in their blue uniforms–including me. I couldn’t wait to bite into the yummy pretzel during lunch recess…thank you, Sisters!
I love Philly pretzels.
They’re long, chewy, and have just the right amount of salt. As you can tell, that fond memory has stayed with me. When I wanted to write about a heroine for Sariah Wilson’s Kindle Worlds series, The Royals of Monterra, I wanted to take a girl who lives in a row house in Philly.
A girl with a dream to fly on the silks in an aerial ballet, but something is holding her back.
Until she receives a royal command to perform in Monterra.
There she meets a handsome member of the Monterran family who isn’t what he seems…

What if Romeo and Juliet had cell phones? #TalkLikeShakespeareDay
I can’t let “Talk like Shakespeare Day” go by without a tribute to Romeo and Juliet…a day for all romantics who love the joy of words!
Whither I should dare partake of words like the Bard on “Talk like Shakespeare Day” to regale you, but I shall attempt to drink the wine that maketh words of beauty flow from my lips . . .
Or:
I’ll just spit it out and say:
Happy Shakespeare Day!!
To celebrate, here is a fun graphic I put together with a 21st century twist.
Who knows what would have happened to the two lovers if they’d had cell phones?

My favorite Princess Slippers for #Easter
Baked ham…chocolate bunnies…and jelly beans.
Memories of Easter when I was a kid. But I’ll never forget the Easter when I had a pair of new black patent leather shoes with not one, but FOUR buckles and straps.
So cute…I wore them all day, even tried to wear them to bed. I swore they were Princess slippers and each buckle was made of gold.
We’re all looking for our prince. The wonderful man in our lives who tells us everyday we’re his princess.
4-ever.
See why I was so sure my shoes with the 4 straps were princess shoes? My 4-ever shoes…
==================
A lovely spring day…and here we find our Princess and Prince Easter Eggs.
A time to reflect on new beginnings…
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Easter to you!
