What do you think? And I can just see me doing a photo story of him and his girls on my blog, a' la Alice Audrey and her little plastic people. I'm just tired of losing mommas and babies, even if they aren't really mine. Aunty Cindy: No, not Key West, though I would love to visit there. I live in the panhandle, just above Destin. The Emerald Coast. I'm a sucker for a great key lime pie. I can grow key limes here, I just need to go get the tree this fall-it's on the list with some others to grow my own fruit.

Thanx for dropping by last night, sorry I missed you in my rather rum soaked haze. And BIG THANX for loving my beautiful cover. I'm a bit partial to it myself. ;-) I've been a Kurt Russell fan since he was a kid in those Disney movies (yes, Kurt and I are almost the same age), and he has aged so nicely. I'll definitely be back tomorrow to see what the Wenches put together for Father's Day. And Terrio, you just keep visiting those blogs and finding new authors... like yours truly! AC Hey Caren!

We never run out of rum here on The Revenge. And I don't think anyone has ever asked for Kurt Russell around here but I'm sure we can find him. LOL! This Sunday we'll be paying homage to some Hottie Daddies and I bet we could easily get Kurt on the list. And you're right about readers sticking with their favorites. Which is why we need to make sure they see and hear about AC so we can get her on those autobuys lists! I know I've found tons of new authors by visiting all these blogs I spend way to much time playing on. If they are sweet and the book sounds good, I want to buy the book just to support them!

Another Bandita checking in. Dang, did I miss the rum and the hotties? Is Kurt Russell around here somewhere?? As to what makes me pick up a book, I usually try to ignore the front cover and concentrate on the back cover copy. I have learned, over the years, not to trust the back cover copy but it does give a sense of what the book is about. I then flip open to the prologue or first chapter and start reading. If I like the first couple of pages and where the blurb promises the book will go, I'll buy it. If not, try, try again! I think many readers only buy authors they already know unless a gorgeous cover (like yours, AC!) catches their eye and makes them venture out of their comfort zone. Sad, but it seems to be true. I can't wait to get my hands on <i>The Wild Sight</i>! Hello, Aunty Cindy! Another Bandita checking in. Dang, did I miss the rum and the hotties? Is Kurt Russell around here somewhere??

I've enjoyed my little outing on RWR so much! It was such fun visiting with everyone, drinking rum, oogling hotties. I LURVED IT ALL! Well, maybe not the undead monkey with the fetid banana breath, but everything else! I'd be THRILLED to come back again in Oct. after The Wild Sight is on the shelves. Maybe by then I can torture... er, um, intrigue you with bits about the sequel! SAIL ON INTREPID PIRATES! Aunty will pop in from time to time when you least expect her. AC THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!

They think it's hot in the tropics now. Wait until the Bandita Heat Wave gets there. Thank you so much for spending the day with us, Loucinda. We have had a blast and look forward to having you back in October! It'll be even better because then we can all gush about Donovan and Riley and how fantastic this story is. And thanks to everyone who came out today! We really appreciate you all. Ha! They think it’s hot in the tropics now. Wait until the Bandita Heat Wave gets there.

Like I would forget to mention YOU! And of course, Jo-Mama gets a big shout out too as one of my face-to-face CP's who "bled all over my manuscript." That's a joke we have about the red pens we use in line X Line crits. Terrio can tell you first hand what the blood and gore looks like since she won that crit from me. HA! Luckily for me, Jo-Mama does not like alcohol so don't be thinking you can likker her up and get more info! Bribery, however, may work... Terrio, we've actually talked about a Bandita cruise. How much FUN it would be... Not sure the cruise ship industry would ever recover, but it would certainly be an experience. :-P LOL, Tina! Like I would forget to mention YOU!

And we thank her for not gloating TOO much that she's read this book we're all anxiously awaiting. I wonder if she can be bribed to give more details? Y'all need to set up some Bandita cruise. Could you imagine all of you sailing the seas together? Kind of like us pirates, only for real. LOL! Jo Mama is on da boat!

Can't blame you for laying low in this heat! Last I looked it was 95 degrees here in Nor Cal. UGH! Jo can vouch for Puerto Vallarta, as she and her DH went there on a cruise with me and my DH about a year and a half ago. Yes, we had a BLAST! Hope we get a change to do it again in the not too distant future. Hey Jo-Mama!
