Remember… Keep it Dirty, Smutty & Hussy!

We all met up at Books-A-Million in Lake Charles, LA for around 10:30ish. I was the first one there. Which means I got to walk around and find me some goodies to bring home with me (and no they were no cute guys to try to take home… so I had to settle for a few cover models, lol).
As I was looking at the *cough* little hidden section of erotic books (yea, they took the hot and steamy books that normally just get grouped with Romance and put the way out in BFE **bon-fuck-Egypt) I noticed that a woman passed me looking very much like Hell Kat from Paranormal Fantasies….. So, I pulled out my phone to text her – what… I am not looking like a stalker, going up to a complete strange and giving her a hug and then introducing myself only to find out that is NOT her…. What and get shot, I dont think so!…. Anyway…. as luck would have it… It was here and her friend!! Yayay for me!

Then after we browsed for a little while.. I began to wonder if Patti had showed up and sneaked in… realizing we never exchanged numbers… Yeah, you guessed it. I had to become the stalker person and “check” everyone out to see if that was her! Well, as luck would have it… when I saw her and she saw me… yayay it was instance success! Then Hannah showed up… And I figured it was Hannah cuz she was talking to Patti!

So the gang was all there!!!! We all made a dash to the java place and got our favorite drinks and went settle down! We had a blast getting to really know one another. I simply cannot wait to do it again… Who says we have to wait a year! Screw that!

Our personalities meshed so well together. We all got along and laughed our asses off. Conversation was all over the place… it was not solely on books or what we read or our blogs…. it was genuinely a very good “girl” time!

We sat and talked until our tummies started growling at us to fed them… Yeah, we sat and talked and hung out for that long!! Hannah was the brave one that went to venture to find us a place to eat… How you might ask… She went up to one of the workers and told them they better tell us the best place for grub or she would beat them up… No I am just joking about that last part… Hold on… Well… Maybe that was me.. Cuz we were hungry, lol!!! Anyway… we all gave credit to the worker at BAM cuz she directed us to one of the best po-boy places we experienced!

I am sorry to say that I forgot to get the pictures of BAM and us in there… and drinking our coffees and all…. Really, I am. But here is one of all of us at Darrell’s (the poboy restaurant)!

And this is what I walked away from Books-A-Million… And oh yeah… they are freaking hot books! I justified it… I have not bought books in a while… So, treat to me!!!!!!!!!!

And then Patti… being the doll she is… Surprised us with some sway items that we got to choose from…. And this is what I got…..

Well, you see that candle in the picture up there…. Patti bought that for me. That was my present!!!! She is awesome! She surely did not have to do that!!!! This is my candle!

Ladies, I had a blast… and canNOT wait to do this again!!!!!!
Hell, it’s only 3 hr drive!!!!
What looks good for you!!!!
It was awesome.
I wish we (the blogging community that we chat with) all lived close enough to all meet up…
Oh man, what an experience that would be for the poor place we picked, lmbo!!!!!
But seriously, this was an awesome thing to do and I am glad that Courtney and I got together on this!!!
IT was FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC AWESOME!!!!
And next time… I am spending the night Patti and Hannah -> so make room!!!!!!!

Next time, I will take more pictures… I promise!

This is the gest of what we hope to do…. Grab some coffee, chit chat, eat (I love food)… talk about blogs, books and what not… and of course discuss our delicious obsession with those covers…

Okay…. here are the answers to the mysterious of my life. So, how well do I lie…
Well apparently not to well as most of you saw through the lies…

The “stories” are told first, then the truth comes out….

1. I absolutely love the winter time; isn’t it the greatest season of all!!

I very much dislike winter! Fall is my favorite season. The leaves changing, the small of the crisp air in my lungs and hellloooo my birthday!!!

1. I love dogs but have two tabby cats.

I love cats, but I have two puppies… A multi-po and a mini Schnauzer.

1. I was once on the high school chess team.

Yea in my widest dreams… Well, not my wildest dreams, maybe the if the chest player were playing with my… evil laughter! I have actually never played chess. My hubs loves to play chest.

1. I love to jam out in the car and I really do not care who sees or what they think.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! This one is true!! I absolutely love doing this and I do NOT care who watches, hears my music or care what they think of what I am jamming out too!

1. I am one of the world’s worst dancers. I virtually have two left feet.

I actually have twenty years of dancing experience… Tap, ballet, jazz, pointe, lyrical and hip hop. I started when I was four years old and have continued on and off throughout my whole life.

1. I am highly allergic to the material books are made out of, that is why I had to get an ereader.

I am allergic to cigarette smoke… but not books. Have you seen my TBR pile, yea ~ didn’t think so. LMBO!

1. I have had one book published ~ under a pen name of course. Erotic style.

Nooo… no book published… A lot of little short stories here and there.

1. I am a single mother, raising a 6 yr old daughter

I have a 16 yr old daughter and she is my total world and one of my best friends. I heart her to death! And I am not single ~ I am married.

1. I use to read my mom’s novels when I was a teenager.

Nope, my mom was never a reader; which is sad. I think everyone should read. I picked up it up on my own!

1. I have only met one online blogger – since I started a year ago.

This one is true…. I met Silver James last year at a book signing in New Orleans…
((June we are having a Blogger Meet & Greet *Hell Kat watch out, here we come!!!* And Patti…. Labor Day baby!!!!))

Now for those that guessed the right answer…. I will be placing your name in a hat and one lucky winner will receive an email from me!!!!!

The ones that got it right were…. (so you know you are in the running..)

Ms Hart leads me to my next author of props…

Dear Ms. Joey W Hill,
Where do I being…. I had read paranormal before but they were light-weights, then I found erotic novels…. Then I saw a review for The Vampire Queen’s Servant and was totally spellbound. I read the review and knew that I would be testing my comfort level with the reading of this book. A dear friend immediately shipped me her book so I could put my feet in the Joey W Hill baby pool. While waiting for the book to arrive at my doorstep, I stalked your website till I had my fill of all I was in for.
Then lo and behold the book arrived **cue the magical music** I petted the cover for a while ((did not want to do to much petting, the book was not mine)) and then found a nice cozy place in my house and settled in for a night of reading. I know I read this book in a matter of a few days. I could not stop reading it. Jacob and Lyssa’s world engulfed me. Wow… you blew me away. You were my first author that I dipped into the BDSM scene with. You were my first author that I experienced the world of dom/subs. You held my hand through the whole thing and told me that even though it might not be okay at times, that I would learn if I liked it or not. And did I like it… hell yeah!!! I ate it up. I learned more about myself than I was really comfortable admitting to anyone. You did not sugar coat anything for me, you did not hide anything from me. You gave it to me straight and that is how I like it.
Your writing style blew me out of the baby pool and into the deep end without my floaties. Did I drown or stay afloat… well, let’s just say that I floated cuz I have stalked you ever since.
I have only read the vampire series, but I know you have so much more out there that I have yet to touch and devour. But I promise, I will get there one day.
I know your writing is not for everyone and that is something that everyone must learn for themselves. Because all I know is that I freaking love your writing!!!!
Thank you for welcoming me in a world of unknown and making me feel at home. Thank you for being there for me when I stepped out of the comfort zone us readers have and telling me that I was a big girl! LOL! Thank you for being the saucy writer you are! You know I love ya!
Thank you Ms. Joey for all of your hard work and dedication to this art!
Your stalker till the end…. (and Hussy forever)

Now for my last author…. Ms. Hart gave me erotic, Ms Hill gave me BDSM & dom/sub…. Then this woman… well… This woman… well, let me just write the letter…

Dear Ms. Lissa Matthews,
I found you through the wonderful world of blogging… from one blog click to the next… I stumbled upon your blog spot and knew from the writing on the walls that I had fallen in love… Your covers were the apple of all temptation that I simply could not resist. Then I heard you whispered in my ear that it was okay to stalk you… Oh boy… did you know what you were getting yourself into! Lmbo! I have read your books and can honestly say that all I have to see is your name on the book cover and I immediately get the goose bumps and break out in hot flashes.
In Sweet Caroline, you gave me Buck. Oh, I meant you shared Buck with me. And Caroline is such a woman after my own heart. Your style of writing made me realize that real is what is needed some times. I love that you write your characters as real women. Real sizes, real issues, real problems, but most of all real attitudes. Your women are not the typical heroine of all books… Your women take a stand and some actually leave the hero. And the men have to go after them. I love that you write them with such a backbone that they are not afraid to back down. But you also write them with their insecurities that touches my heart. Because we all struggle with our own problems. You write the characters knowing that they are sexy. But your softer side comes out because you allow the male characters to help teach, coax, help them to discover the other side of their personality. The men bring out a new side to them, not better… just new. The stories you write are told with such a sexual intensity ~ it should come with a warning that you made need some relief after reading. You write with so much passion, that while reading, I have to make sure no one can see my face turn bright red from the fire that is going on within my body from reading your words. Words that are simply on paper… black and white… can ignite into flames and fuse a short wire to explode. Woman you can write… and with Joey Hill holding my hand… Ms. Lissa ~ you have taken my training wheels off when it comes to BDSM and dom/sub. Your books freaking rock apples honey. You give this hussy the smut she needs to survive. You are my crack of book life. I have to have your books, they are my fix. Some people talk of comfy reads… and they are the nice romantic books, my comfy reads are your hot and spicy books!
Stepping out of one’s comfort zone is not always easy, but I am sure as hell glad that I did.
So from the bottom of my smutty hussy heart, I thank you for coming into my little snow globe world an shaking it up!!!
Signed your smut huss stalker ~with much affection and giggles
Cecile
