Jake: No. I'm not.
LBea: Why must you be difficult? I just need you to step up on this box, right here, and tell people about the one time, special offer, interview with the love of your life, Adrien--
Jake: I never said that.
LBea: Out loud--no, but, sweetie, you totally love him.
Jake: ::sighs:: What do you want me to do?
LBea; Tell everyone about the interview you guys did with your very good friend, Josh Lanyon.
Jake: Friend? Did Lanyon tell you that? I think you misunderstand the meaning of that word.
LBea: I don't! I think you're just mad because everyone thinks you're a nit and it's slightly his fault.
Jake: ::stony silence::
LBea: I don't think you're a nit.
Jake: Get on with it, LBea. And keep that bastard Nate Hawkins away from my side of the hut. He calls me 'boy' one more time...
LBea shudders delicately: That is so....sexy.
Jake: You have your alpha beta pairings confused.
LBea: Do I? Just tell the ladies here on the Island what's going on, and I'll keep Nate from spanking you. Yes? That's a good deal. Then I can give some free books away, drink my Jamaican Butter Rum coffee, and write my own books!
Jake: Who the hell is this guy?
LBea: You like? He looks like ADRIEN! No?
Jake: No. Here's the news. Pay attention. I'm only saying this once.

LBea leers: Yup. Even you, sweetie.

***In honor of my birthday, which is All Saints Day, and rightly so, I'm tossing two copies of Josh's I Spy Something Wicked out to the crowd. It's a Halloween story. Happy Birthday to me!
Just leave a comment in the, er, comment section, and I'll pick someone by midnight on Sunday. WOOT!
LBea leers: Yup. Even you, sweetie.

I think it should be noted that the men in my hut aren't kept naked. I keep them in tight jeans or leather pants, depending on which mood I'm in.
No shirts, of course. But they're not all naked. Feel free to send Jake over to my hut, if he wants to try on leather pants.
And LBea, I loves you. Happy Birthday, to one of the Saintliest chicks in the land!
I don't keep them naked either, but the sign on our blog says that we do!
I like my men in faded jeans and worn Led Zeplin T-shirts. Barefoot.
::purring noise::
Thanks Kati! (Jake is on his way, he says)
Oh, I had not noticed that about the DIK header. *snort*
Hey, Jake, can you turn around? ;)
Happy Birthday, LBea! I fear to ask what you're going to do to celebrate....
No need to enter me in the contest, as I already have the book.
Thanks Chris--
I'm writing, and I'm going to see a midnight live performance of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Also that stinky day light savings is going to be an unfortunate coincidence for me. Boo.
Hope you enjoy the book! I love these guys...
L
MMMMM your men are so forceful.
How does it feel to be 21?
Woohee!!!!
Jake is not a nit! He was just confused *pats Jake*
And yeah, keep some distance between him and Nate, please. They each have love of their love already. Jake needs to leave all temptation and devote the rest of his life to Adrien!
Love the SF extra goodies. No need to put my comment in for the draw, LBea, I got the ISSW already. Can't wait!
Happy B-Day, LBea! You rule!
thelastaerie--I agree. He's not a nit--but there are those who are confused. I think he's tres romantic.
Katiebabs--I like a strong man. And yes, those are my lashes fluttering.
Okay, I want to have some half-naked men hanging out with me too. Is there an application I have to fill out? LOL!
Anyhoo, Happy Birthday and enjoy the party!
Happy Birthday LBea.
BTW The naked men in the hut thing was on the previous banner. Isn't it a DIK um.. motto or something?
I like the tight jeans too..
*shrugs*
Once again you have a wonderful birthday!
Lea--Thanks sweets! I never noticed it--but it's perfect. And Jake needs something to look forward to when he gets back to the hut.
Joder~Not just any men--alpha heroes. Ok I also have Savitri Murray from Demon Moon...she's not naked.
Most of the time.
Ah, tanks, Sweetbea. Happy Birthday to you!
Have fun at Rocky Horror! Picturing Jake facing off with Nate Hawkins made me giggle. I took a look at who else is in your hut -- I'd think everyone else, no matter how alpha, would be at least a little unnerved by Vishous. Happy Birthday -- hope it's a great year for you. :)
I'm cracking up.
All Saints Day is Nov 1. I have a day and a half left of 43! DON'T AGE ME.
But thank you, everyone. :)
Thanks Emilie--It will be a great year. If all my heroes don't kill each other.
I think my daughter is going to Rocky Horror, too, and I'm not sure what the protocol is. Do I sit with her?
Please lord. no.

Heh.
It's a problem.
Maybe if I dress up, she won't want to sit with me!
Not just any men--alpha heroes. Ok I also have Savitri Murray from Demon Moon...she's not naked.
Hah! LMAO!
I got nothin' but love for you LBea.
Ah LB you always know how to make my day a little brighter. Jake is not a nit and I love that you made him say plunder. Good word that.
Happy ALMOST birthday to you. I hope the end of DST doesn't screw you up too badly. :)
Sounds like an awesome deal @ Blind Eye - thanks for the heads up.
ISSW...I want. :)
And my men aren't ALWAYS naked in my hut. But sometimes they are. *waggles eyebrows*
Kati~ Our list of 5 +1? Savitri is my alternate female if Angelina is too exhausted.
Tracy~Thank you for noticing that I made Jake Riordan say plunder. ::swoon:: Is it hot in here? Or am I having one of those damn flashes people talk about?
It's a problem.
Maybe if I dress up, she won't want to sit with me!
Just go as a toaster
Is the Strange Fortune offer for the US only or is it open to those of us on the other side of the pond? :)
Hi LBea
Happy Birthday! I think all the huts should come freshly stocked!
Dottie :)
liade--Oh. My. yes!! A toaster! Why didn't I think of that?
LesleyW-I will have to wait for Josh to answer that one! It's a good question.
Dottie~ Thank you--and yes. Freshly stocked and with perhaps a handsome bartender?
I tired to keep clothes on the men in my hut, but everytime I turned around they were naked again!
:o)
MsM
that is one helluva photo of RC...i mean JAKE! nom nom!
Such a crack up post!
Just the idea of Nate and Jake in proximity to each other . . . Oh my . . .
I can't wait for Strange Fortune!
Happy bday, Lbea. :-)
MsMoonligh~What's a girl to do? I mean, anything to keep our lads happy!
Sula~Note I was compelled to use it at both blogs. I'll be very surprised if CJ doesn't pilfer it for future RC worship.
Renee~Thank you, toots. We have fun time under my thatched roof--er--but I have to say, Adrien and I are most entertained by the Nate/Jake possibilities.
Don't tell Monsieur Lanyon. :P
Naked is good. Sigh.
Oh, that's quite a lot of loot to plunder there with the offer. I'll be checking it out. Great post.
Hey there, Leslie, the SF offer is good all over the planet because the goodies are all downloads. And BEB ships everywhere (as a good publisher of spec fiction should.)
That was a great post. Jake was so... Jake!
Thanks,
Tracey D
Tam~MMMMmmmm...plunder...mmmmm.
Josh~thank you. I knew that, didn't I?
TraceyD~He is deliciously alpha, that Jake is.
*muttertresromanticmyarsemutter*
Regardless of where I think your taste is, LB, *smiling sweetly* I hope that you have a fabulous b'day!
Goodies!!! I cannot wait!
Well I know I"m late but that dang internet crashing thing sucks! LOL But I hope you had a wonderful BDAY LB!! Next Saturday is our Birthday celebration so sit tight for that!
Kris~Thank you! And I can't wait for this interview...and the book. :)
Steve~It's going to be great.
Sarai~Thank you sweetie. I'll be sure to stop by.
Oh yey, can't wait to read more Josh - the Jake/Adrien interview will be worth the purchase price alone :))
Anna ~IT'S FANTASTIC.
Uhm. Now is the time to order, and then you download the freebies. It's a regular windfall--but I have to say, the interview is my favorite item.
