Hot Mojave Knights – Nights to Remember by RM Sotera

As the days and months pass I get more excited about the upcoming HotMojave Knights Reader Convention. Before I share my thoughts about the upcoming event with you, let me go back a few years – to a small hotel room where several authors, attending a reader convention, sat and brainstormed an event in Las Vegas. There are several reader events that have come before us, and we are thankful for everyone we’ve attended and continue to attend because through these events we’ve learned a great deal. And that is it takes a ton of hard work and dedication to pull off an event that readers are going to remember. Our hats go off to all of the reader convention committees that have navigated these waters. With that said, back to that night a few years back when we sat in a circle with author Shannan Albright, and listened as she shared an idea she’d been harboring about a reader convention in Las Vegas. Her vision was exciting, and one that we wanted to implement in Vegas. Fast forward to now and here we are realizing the dream of bringing a romance reader convention to Las Vegas!

One of our number one goals in designing this convention was the cost factor. We’ve always wanted to make it affordable to our attendees. Through inexpensive room rates, many complimentary meals, and other perks, we’ve been able to keep it affordable. If attendees chose to share a room with another attendee the price of the room is cut in half bringing the rate down to around $55.00. The only cost that will take some work to find the best deal is airfare. But, trips to Vegas usually are pretty reasonable since so many people vacation here. 

So what can you expect when you’re here? Besides the perks that Las Vegas has to offer, the Hot Mojave Knights Committee, Authors, and Sponsors have great events planned for you. The idea is a weekend of getting to know romance-minded people like you. And having fun! Our author pool is diverse, our sponsors are phenomenal, and our knights, well they are going to be gentleman in every sense of the word. They do not only fill the role of man-candy, nope, they encompass chivalry and every connotation of the word.

One of the events that I will be a chaperoning with Joanna Riley and our head blogger, Kelly Oaks is the Hunk Mansion Field Trip on Friday night. The sexy men are very inspiring, so much so, my first book (Dirty Dancer) was written from their inspiration. I’m looking forward to having fun on the party bus with those attending, and making the trip to see the Hunks one to put into the memory books. Who knows…a story might spin from the trip!

Another event I’m personally looking forward to is the special event that I will be co-hosting with author CR Moss in celebration of our Double D Ranch Tales Saga. One of the events we have planned is for our readers to help us outline the fourth book in the saga. We want to know what our readers want to see happen to the characters in book four. Also, there will be some country cookin’ snacks, music, and probably a cowboy somewhere in the mix. It’s a time for our readers to mingle with the Dougan gals, Cassie and Bristol, and have a good ole’ time.

Finally, I do hope if you’ve been sitting on the fence about attending the convention this post finds you jumping over ready to book a trip to Vegas to enjoy a weekend with Hot Mojave Knights. And if you can’t make it this year, perhaps consider attending next year. This will be the first of many. 

And for those of you attending this year, I can’t wait to meet you all and spend the weekend talking romance and everything that comes with it!

All the best.  Four and one-half months and counting down!

Hot Mojave Knights will truly be many nights to remember!

BOOK BLURB: At a comic book convention, artist Megan Shore is thrilled to meet action movie hunk Garret McGatlin. Usually reclusive, Megan flirts with the leading man of her sexual fantasies. He invites her to his suite for a drink, but when she arrives, his rancher brother Trey opens the door and unleashes Megan's cowboy fantasy. Both men pour on the charm, and she can't decide which of them she desires more.

The McGatlin brothers have shared women, but none of them were like Megan, irresistible and perfect for both of them. Working together, they execute a potent seduction. During a hot, amazing week, the three-way relationship becomes emotionally charged. When they're thrown into the media spotlight, Megan fears the exposure will trigger a past threat. Garrett and Trey need to prove they can keep Megan safe as well as happy and satisfied in their arms.

EXCERPT: Megan’s best friend answered on the first ring. “What are you up to?”

“Beth, you are not going to believe this. I have a date in an hour and a half with Garret McGatlin.”

“You what?” Her voice hit manic level.

She pulled out a dark pantsuit. “I know, right? I rode the elevator with him, flirted a little, but that was it. Somehow he found out who I was and sent me an invitation.” She hung the suit back in the closet and walked to the window. “Inside a gorgeous bouquet of flowers.”

“You're serious? The Garret McGatlin? Movie hunk?”

“Yes, the one and only.” She puffed out a breath. “What do I wear?”

“Girlfriend…” Beth assumed her no nonsense voice. “Tell me what's in your closet, and I swear if it's all pantsuits, I'm going to disown you.”

An hour and a half later, wearing the only dress she'd packed, Megan stood at the opposite end of the 37th floor, in front of his suite. Looking down at the purple and pink geometric print short-sleeved dress, she considered going back to her suite and changing into a pantsuit. But Beth was right, her pink, peep-toed patents with four-inch heels were too cute to be hidden under pant legs.

Pasting on a smile, she rang the illuminated doorbell.

This was it. The realization of her fantasy evening with the sexiest man on the big screen—or any screen—had her stomach jittering and her nipples puckering.

The door swung open and she held her breath. Not Garret, but he looked quite a bit like him. Handsome but in a more rugged way.

“Oh, I'm sorry.” She stepped back and looked at the suite number. “I was looking for—”

“Garret?” His smile was an exact duplicate of the movie star's. “He's delayed in traffic.” A definite Texas drawl. “Sends his apologies, and asked if you'd mind waitin'.”

“No. That's fine.” The less-intense, more-sensual version of Garret stared at her with blue eyes a shade darker than the star's. Hair cut shorter in a blonder, sun-streaked, just-cut look, and darker skin. The two men shared the same sexy lips and strong jaw.

He smiled again and her heart dipped and fluttered. Who knew there were two of them?

“I'm Trey, Garret's brother.” He stepped back, his python cowboy boots incongruous against the plush carpet. His tight jeans skimmed long legs and narrow hips, and a woven leather belt with a good-sized silver buckle rested low on those hips. His light green cotton shirt was open a few buttons at the neck, and rolled up over strong forearms. “Comin' in?”

I hope you like Double Her Fantasy, and good luck in the contest!

Hot, Hot, Hotter Cowboys by Starla Kaye

I’m looking forward to meeting fellow authors and especially some of the wonderful readers who will be attending the Hot Mojave Knights Conference Oct 18-20. I write about all kinds of heroes and heroines in the romances I pen in various sub-genres. But my overall love is cowboys.

When you stop by my space at the Author Book Signing on Oct 20, you will see just how much I enjoy writing about cowboys. I will be displaying a small quilt with many of my Western book covers. Making what I call “art quilts” is another way for me to use my over-active imagination. And it’s fun…and it gives me time to think up new storylines while I sew the quilts.

The main book I will be promoting at the event is The CEO and the Cowboy, an M/M romance from Decadent Publishing. I am currently working on the sequel and hope to have it done and published as well by then, but life can get in the way.

I’m also excited to announce that my newest story, Acceptance, is being released May 28 as part of The Edge Series from Decadent Publishing. This is another M/M romance and is seriously “hot.”

Oh, and I will have some fun little give away items for anyone stopping by to say “Hi.”

Turning Up The Fire with Marla Monroe

I can’t wait for the middle of October to get here! Hot Mojave Knights is going to be a blast this year! If you want to have some fun and meet your favorite authors as well as find some new ones, this is the place to be for a Hot weekend. There’s going to be lots and lots of fun things to do and loads of cool swag.

I’m planning on helping to spice up some lucky reader’s love life with my basket sure to give them some ways to put a little kinky in their romance! It’s all about spontaneity and attitude. All romance should have a little kinky now and then. It helps keep those home fires burning and will fan that spark hiding in the smoke back into a full fledged forest fire!

Be sure to visit http://www.hotmojaveknights.com/ and see what all there is to love and lust over. October 18-20, 2013 at the Sunset Station Casino and Hotel in Henderson, Nevada is going to be THE place to be. I’ll be talking about my books and how much fun I have writing about ménage, BDSM, Cowboys, and Bikers. Be sure to look me up once you arrive to chat.

One of my books I’ll be talking about is Happy In Their Love, the latest of my Men of The Border Lands series. You can see it here http://www.bookstrand.com/happy-in-their-love

Another book I will be talking about is Making Them Happy, the third book of my Ghost Rider’s series http://www.bookstrand.com/making-them-happy
Of course, but then I will have several more books out to talk about as well. I’ll be talking more about Hot Mojave Knights the closer it looms on my blog http://themarlamonroe.blogspot.com/ Don’t forget to visit my webpage for updates at http://www.marlamonroe.com

The Heat of the Knight—er, Night by Cara Michaels

Color me excited, gentle readers! In just over five months I’ll be on a plane, heading toward my second Las Vegas adventure and first conference as a featured author. Hot Mojave Knights is primed to be the most fun an author or reader can have in Sin City without ending up arrested. Though, knowing some of the writers attending, there may be handcuffs (“But… they’re part of my costume.”).

If you haven’t made plans to attend yet, understand this is not the standard cattle drive convention. There won’t be thousands of people milling around in a great crush of bad tempers and body odor. No endless fan lines just to catch a glimpse of someone you’d like to meet. I’ve been to a couple of those, and outside of sore feet, I didn’t have much to talk about, unless I count seeing James Marsters’ head from twenty feet (I do. I admit it. But it’s not much of a story to tell).

Readers, you get the opportunity to engage with authors over the course of the weekend. Polish your meet and greet skills over Friday night’s wine tasting and Chippendales outing. Have dinner with the favorite author you came to see, or the new one you bonded with over Chippendale #5 (could he wear a Speedo, or what?). Costume up and head to the masquerade where authors will attempt to resemble their literary creations (try Googling “224^th century space outfits”… no one makes these). And did I mention the Knights to go along with your nights? *Faint*

My mind is all awhirl with plans. I have swag to order, a costume to assemble, a plane ticket to buy, panels and intimate encounters to prepare… And that’s “intimate” as in “a small group of people,” not “show up in your handcuffs and best smile.” ;) I’m looking forward to meeting everyone, and maybe coming home with a story or two I can’t tell to anyone who wasn’t there, *wink wink, nudge nudge*.

Get to know me now:

Cara Michaels is a dreamer of legendary proportions (just ask her about the alien pirate spaceship invasion). Her imagination is her playground and nothing is quite so much fun for her as building new characters and new worlds with at least an edge of the fantastic. She's writing whenever the opportunity presents itself and can typically be found tinkering with half a dozen projects. Occasionally all at once.

She calls Florida 'home' when she's not busy swearing about giant bugs and humidity. She has one super-cool fiancé who doesn't (usually) mind the hours spent writing, editing, writing some more, and editing a lot more, one son with aspirations of becoming either a great wizard or an artist, and three cats who enjoy sleeping on her works in progress.
