You know that excuse, "My dog ate my
homework?" Once I had to tell my publisher, "My dog ate my contract!"
(True story!)

I once sang backup along with two other vocalists for Joe Frazier (yes,
Smokin' Joe, the boxer) in a casino showroom. He referred to us as 'The
Knock-outs'. (Swear!)
~~
Trying to get in touch with a famous singer
(who shall not be named), Tony Curtis (yes, THE Tony Curtis of Some Like
it Hot fame) called the entertainment agency I was working for at the
time and I answered the phone. I had a conversation with
Tony-flipping-Curtis!

My dream is to live
in Canterbury, England.

"Ciotta
strikes gold with this fast-paced, intricately plotted story!"
~4 stars, Romantic Times BookReviews
"Bookshelves hold few new Western historical
romances, which makes Beth Ciotta's Fall of Rome a welcome
find. The large cast of characters, including Rome's family and
their love interests, make for a rollicking read.
~Book Page
"Ciotta's
wry humor; sexy, multifaceted characters; and layered plotlines make this a
fun spy romp." ~Booklist
