Bo’sun merrily basked in the historical ambiance of Colonial Williamsburg yesterday, walked a thousand miles, and collapsed. (I got an excited text message that Jack–our beautiful Tavern host–was riding a horse; though I had my ringer and stuff off, so I was very confused when i was waiting for my agent pitch and my bag started ringing like a terrorist bomb. Amish.)

Anyway, clearly, the Bo’sun had a great time; and we here in Chicago had a marvelous, marvelous, marvelous time. I got to meet Irish and Vagi and Kim, as well as the ever-so-courtly Eloisa James and my twin-at-birth Leslie Langtry, whom I stalked the entire conference. (We’ll rave more and more about all this later.)

Now it’s time to fly back home, and clearly we were unprepared about how much stuff you actually GOT at a conference for free. We actually got a FREE Hardback of Debbie Macomber’s new book, as well as Eloisa’s newest book. In pure Scarlet O’Hara fashion, I had like four bags: a suitcase, the “matching bag”, my computer case, and my “purse bag”. In my defense it was the SMALL suitcase, but…never mind.

Sin brought ONE small suitcase and all her worldly belongings, as well as her computer case. That’s it. Ninjas are so efficient. However, she’s finding it difficult to pack all her books. Never mind what we’ll need in the way of lugging it around once we get traveling again. So this week, I’m posting our luggage boys.

We’ll be sure to tip them in a big, big, BIG way. Here’s HELLION’S Luggage Boy…

And Sin’s Luggage Boy (she’s traveling at a different time) is:

Terri is now hijacking this post…

I’ve been sitting chest down on my living room floor writing a Hottie blog for today and imagine my surprise when I see the Captain is much quicker.  Yes, I trudged around Colonial Williamsburg all day yesterday and I gave out before 10pm last night, the though of Hotties not entering my mind.  Incredible but true.  But since I’ve spent some time putting it together, I wanted to add in a preview of what’s in store for May.

May is coming up quick and we’re happy to say we have more great guest authors coming your way.  Mark your calendar for May 6^th when we bring Colette Gale on board.  Ms. Gale is an Erotica Novelist.  Her book Unmasqued told the story of the Phantom of the Opera in a way never seen before.  Her May release, Master, is a retelling of the story of The Count of Monte Cristo and promises to be just as compelling and sensual as Unmasqued.

Coming up May 14^th, we have Harlequin Mills & Boon author Annie West.  Hailing from down under, Ms. West writes for the Presents, Modern and Sexy lines bringing to life those sexy Sheiks, gorgeous Greeks, and bossy Billionaires.  We’ll get the scoop on Ms. West’s May release, The Greek Tycoon’s Unexpected Wife.

And on May 23^rd, we’re bringing back one of our favorite Pirate friends, Santa O’Byrne!  I’m pretty sure Santa told me what she’ll be blogging about but I’ll be damned if I can remember.  But no worries, it will be great!

Now, I need some damn coffee…
