I jumped ship this weekend to meet with a VIP Hottie applicant.  This guy has the reputation to back up the application, but I have to make sure all our crew members measure up in all areas.  I know, my job is sooooooooooo tough.

This applicant already runs with his own small band of outlaws.  You might have heard of them – Maroon 5.  Not as catchy as The Revenge, but not everyone can be as brilliant as we are.  The first thing I realized about this guy is that he’s kind of a little guy.  Someone I would typically think of as scrawny and therefore, not worth bothering with.  But this one is the exception to the rule.  Simply put, he’s got that *something* I can’t resist.  The fact is, this guy is sex incarnate.  He smiles, and your heart goes pitter patter.  He gives that “I’ve been up to something naughty” look and your panties melt.

In case you’ve been living under a rock (or your name is Dee) and haven’t figured out who our newest Hottie is, his name is Adam and he takes bad boy to a whole new level.

This week is going to be uber-exciting here on the seas.  I’ll be talking pre-conference prep tomorrow and I’m also including some great links for all those not going to the big shindig this week.  No reason you can’t have a conference experience from the comfort of your own home.  Then Friday, Santa and I and anyone else we can coerce into helping will be blogging from the RWA National Conference in San Francisco.  I’m sure we’ll be thoroughly soaked in rum by the time Friday comes around so it should be quite entertaining for all. Plus, we’ll have the usual brilliance from the Captain, something soul wrenching from Sin and pure inspiration from the sunshine of the crew, Gunner Marnee.

But the big story this week is how HUGE August is around here with guest bloggers.  We kick the festivities off August 12 with New York Times Bestselling author, Teresa Medeiros.  Believe it or not, Teresa agreed to one of our infamous captain’s interviews and much fun was had by all.  We’ll be talking about Teresa’s latest release, Some Like It Wicked, and anything else we can get out of this powerhouse author.

Later in the month we have Angie Fox (August 19) talking about her debut novel, The Accidental Demon Slayer, in which a pre-school teacher comes to terms with being a demon slayer. Hence the title.  Angie will also be talking about breaking into this game and what it’s like when you start riding the publishing waves. 

Leslie Langtry hops aboard Tuesday, August 26, and brings her always entertaining family of assassins with her.  Leslie’s latest book, called Stand By Your Hitman, hits stores this month so be sure to pick it up and join in the fun. 

Last but never least, we have the incomparable Candace Camp joining us Friday, August 29, to talk about the latest in her Matchmakers series, The Wedding Challenge.  Talking Historicals, series, heroes and heroines, you won’t want to miss this exciting excursion.

Now, I highly suggest you go google the Maroon 5 concert schedule and get your tickets today.
