From the desk of...Tamara McHatton
Ahhh…Valentine's Day – the day for, and about, lovers worldwide. There is no better time of the year, as far as I'm concerned, and I hope each and every one of you have somebody special in your life, whether they be a lover or a loved one!
So much has happened over the last month I'm not sure where to begin. As I write this, Evan is on business out in California again, and the SUITE Staff is gearing up for the Romantic Times Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, at the end of April. Some of us will also be traveling to Germany during May. Comments and suggestions are pouring in so fast we can hardly keep up with them, but fear not; we do read each and every e-mail. It may take us a while to respond, but we will. That's our promise to you, our loyal readers. We're working on getting more options for subscribers with one, three, and six-month subscription options, and we're beginning to formulate our plans for going to print next year.
The ride so far has been a blast…from the naysayers to the loyal followers…it hasn't mattered. I have learned so much, and been touched by so many, that I can't even begin to count my blessings. My staff…oh, so much I could say about them…but alas, my space is limited! Suffice it to say that they are the absolute best. I don't know what I'd do without them. They keep me sane and help me every inch of the way. I wish the very best for all of them this Valentine's Day!
And I'm getting off topic again…so, what do we have in store for you this month?
To begin with, I did research for the Valentine's Day History article and I was very surprised to find out its ostentatious beginnings unveiled a beheading and a contest thinly disguised as a form of prostitution. Not quite what I envisioned as the day of lovers! LOL! In keeping with our Valentine's Day theme, we have an interview with the Queen of Chocolates, Lori , owner and operator of Chocolate Fantasies . Wait until you visit her site! Oh, my…I do believe I have an oral fixation all of a sudden. In addition, you'll find a special coupon just for SUITE subscribers somewhere in the interview!
Our cover model, and SUITE Knight , is none other than CJ Hollenbach . He's appeared in Playgirl, Playboy (yes, I said Playboy), on the TV Guide, on the Joan Rivers Show, is one of Ellora's Cavemen, and now, in SUITE. Do NOT miss his interview. We also have a true Prince Charming as our Rogue this month, Scott Smith . And ladies, hold on to your chairs! Demetrius Angelo , the gorgeous stud that graces the covers of Arabesque Books is our One Knighter for this month. Rounding out the bevy of luscious hunks is Brendan Fraser in the VIP Suite .
Don't miss the DIY for this month. Evan explains in simple terms how to fix a broken PVC pipe. It's so easy I even tried it…and it worked! Arianna Hart lent us an excerpt from her book Rebel's Lust and Diane Laurence wrote a scorching Heat Between the Sheets just for SUITE with her short story, titled Playacting . I'm thinking about joining a theater group after reading that one let me tell ya.
Cindy Walker continues her journey with A New Me and we at SUITE encourage you to follow her progress. Mimi Riser gives us some tidbits for Spicing Up Your Love Life with secrets from the Kitchen and don't forget to check out SUITE's very own Madison Foxe as she lets us in on how to seduce that particular man in your life with Four Faces of a Man .
Next month we'll have that gorgeous hunk from Chippendales, Michael Riece , as our SUITE Knight and Dominique Adair has graciously allowed us to use an excerpt from her book, Blood Law , for our Heat Between the Sheets . And don't forget to check out our interesting facts about St. Patrick's Day.
Satisfying the Mind, Enchanting the Soul, and Touching the Heart,
Tamara McHatton, CEO, SUITE Magazine
