    Beth Ciotta's Interests
GeneralReading, movies, music, and writing. I love to travel, especially to places brimming with history and/or spirituality. Three of my favorite places: London, England; Venice, Italy; Grand Canyon (Arizona, USA)
MusicClannad and Enya are two favorites. Celtic music in general is my first music of choice. I also enjoy classic rock (Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Janis Joplin), contemporary country (Dwight Yokam, Dixie Chicks) R&B (Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin) jazz (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, Manhattan Transfer), instrumental movie sound tracks (John Barry rules!), classical, oh, and Christmas music.
MoviesToo many favorites to list. Huge fan of period films, thrillers, and romantic comedies. Any film starring Cary Grant, Doris Day, Meg Ryan, George Clooney, or Gerard Butler.
TelevisionDue to time restrictions, my TV viewing is minimal. A few old faves: Dick Van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, M*A*S*H, and Cheers. A few recent faves: Gilmore Girls, Scrubs, Firefly, and LOST.
BooksAvid reader here. Big fan of romantic fiction and suspense novels. If it's fast-paced and witty I'm there.
HeroesAnyone who faces their fears. Anyone who chases their dreams. Anyone who practices courtesy, tolerance and kindness. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

   Beth Ciotta's Blurbs
About me:
A longtime professional performer, storytelling comes naturally to me. Limiting myself to writing one sub-genre does not. A creative spaz, I'm published in contemporary, historical, and paranormal romantic fiction. I can't think of anything more fulfilling than writing stories where everyone (except the villain, of course!) gets a happy ending.

If you enjoy "madcap romance" (Publishers Weekly) and "whip-cracking suspense" (Romantic Times BOOKclub), check out any one of my novels. Presently, I'm writing contemporary romance for HQN (Harlequin) and historical westerns for Medallion Press.

    "...an amazing charmer sure to dazzle and entertain!" -- Heather Graham, NYT Bestselling Author

    "Everything about Ciotta's latest novel is fabulous: the lovable heroine, the sexy hero, the consistently humorous internal monologue, the smooth narration and the delightfully original plot. To use one of the hero's favorite words, it's "brilliant." The author is in full command of her storytelling skills, and she displays them masterfully. Here's hoping we'll be treated to a sequel." --Marilyn Weigel, Romantic Times BOOKreviews

    I love your new layout! Actually.... a couple weeks ago, I almost put this layout on MY profile. But I went with the color explosion instead.

    Beth!!! You would have liked my impromptu party, I think - we(friends and family) have all memorized Robinhood Men In Tights - so everybody had to play a part while the movie was on - it was freaking hysterical.
