Hi Burn Brighters, some good news this morning. Firstly we have a new reviewer on staff, namely Renee Thomas from Renee’s Book Channel. She’s already an experienced reviewer and you’re going to LOVE her work. Go check out her profile on the [intlink id=”987″ type=”page”]STAFF[/intlink] page.

Secondly, the Spotlight Report and MDPWeb (Burn Bright, Tara Sharp and Marianne de Pierres sites) will be partnering on some content. SR is one of Australia’s leading entertainment news sites and they’ll be sharing exclusive pics and interviews. To begin this great alliance, here are pics from Jorge’s interview with Katy Perry in Sydney on the red carpet of her new film.

Jorge spoke to Katy on the red carpet and we love her message to her fans …

This film is about following me all around last year and it tells my story of how I got here. It shows some obstacles I had to go through to get here…and it basically, and hopefully, inspires people, like these beautiful fans around us right now, that they too can do it and follow their dreams if they want and they don`t have to change who they are to do it…they don`t have to fit in, they can stick out and always being themselves!

You can read their full interview over here at The Spotlight Report. Many thanks to Jorge and Sandra for this exclusive.

Hello Burn Brighters, we have some staff news for you. Sadly one of our most senior reviewers, Cels Jansink, is moving on. While we wave goodbye to Cels with a heavy heart, the smile is back on our face because Bec Stafford rejoins us as chief interviewer. Bec was the original Burn Bright site manager and interviewer and will slot back into her role talking to authors without a blink. YAY!

We wish Cels good luck and don’t forget to keep an eye on her Booky Monster blog.
