The Lair Will be HOT in July!

First of all, this month we have not ONE...

Not TWO...

But THREE launch parties for new Bandita books!


July 2nd Aunty Cindy's Launch Party for The Wild Irish Sea will be a blarney-filled blast.





July 6th will be Susan's long awaited Launch Party for her former Golden Heart winner, Money Honey.


July 12th will be Kate's Launch
Party for her first Silhouette Desire -- The Millionaire Meets His Match.





We also have a wonderful selection of guests:


July 7th Nancy chats with Patricia Rice about her new historical, The Wicked Wycherly, the first in the Rebellious Sons series.


July 9th Tawny hosts Josie Brown, who will be chatting with us about her latest novel, Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives.


July 16th Aunty Cindy hosts her buddy Marie Force for a return visit to celebrate her first e-book for Carina Press. Fatal Affair is the first in a series of romantic suspense stories set in Washington DC.


July 19th Kate welcomes debut mystery writer Avery Aames who writes the Cheese Shop mystery series. Join her as she discusses The Long Quiche Goodbye and the romance of cheese!

Young adult debut author Holly Cupala will be joining us on July 21, hosted by fellow YA writer Kirsten. Holly's book, Tell Me a Secret, is a gripping emotional story that's sure to attract adults and teens, and has gotten great reviews. We hear the bubbly and delightful Holly can't wait to hang out with a bunch of romance readers, so it should be a great time!

July 23rd welcomes Tessa Adams with her new paranormal, Dark Embers. (check out that cover! HOT!)

RWA's National Conference starts the last week of July, but the Lair will not be totally empty. Who knows what kind of cool treats might be in store? Please drop by to see what's going on with so many absent Banditas.

Will Sven, the gladiators, and cabana boys get a much deserved vacation?

Will the Golden Rooster stand the test of doing double duty in both the Lair and National in Orlando?

Do you think we should give Sven and the others a few days off? Where should we send them on their vacations? And how do YOU like to cool off on a hot summer day?
