From the desk of...Evan Scott
It's May and the whole SUITE staff is busy preparing for the Romantic Times convention in Daytona: the 15 th through the 21 st. Lot's of stuff will be going on with SUITE. We'll have our Sapphire Enchantress giving away free massages in Club RT. SUITE will be represented at the Salute to Waldenbooks & Border Books Luncheon. Our own CEO will be on stage again at the Mr. Romance competition. But the biggest thing is that SUITE will be running what will no doubt be the hottest and most talked about event for the entire convention; the first ever cover model volleyball tournament! The Mr. Romance contestants and returning cover models will be getting all hot and sweaty in the Florida sun just for you. We've reserved a sand volleyball court that sits right behind the hotel, south of the Clocktower. Wednesday the 17th from 9:30 to 10:00 AM will be the warm up games. The big day will be Thursday 18th from 9:30 to 10:00 AM. Friday AM will be an alternate rain day. We will be giving away lots of prizes during the tournament including a chance to win a fifty-dollar bill. A bit hint...bring your purse ;-) This is a free event open to anybody. Pass the word, come and cheer for your favorite team and don't forget the camera!
If you are a SUITE subscriber and will be attending the convention, you're invited to help with the tournament. You'll be up close and personal, working with the cover models, and you'll get to see what they are really like. Just send me an Email or find me at the convention.
Regardless...if you're a SUITE subscriber and I haven't met you, please stop me and introduce yourself! I love to meet the Kittens.
Okay back to work. This month, our Interview is of sensual romance author, Ruby Storm. Many thanks to Jewel Mason and to the Romance Junkies for allowing us the reprint. Our own Cindy Walker is back from her trip to England and makes our Port O' Call in London. Joanne Colby is getting her popcorn fix doing the movie reviews. Leigh Ellwood is the master of the remote for the TV reviews.
Goodness had nothing to do with it. She was more than the seductive buxom blonde who delivered tantalizing one-liners. Mae West was a pioneer in battling censorship back in a time when just the implication of sex was considered taboo on the big screen and radio.
We have some new contributors. Glen McCafferty gets you out of the rut when life is overwhelming you and things get Dazed and Confused. H.A. Fowler looks into Inflammatory Bowel Disease, a medical condition which has 35,000 new cases each year, yet still baffles the medical community. Find out what the buzz is about with Doreen Orsini in This ‘N That. Just how do you compete with Monday night football and nachos? Catherine Chernow tells you how to score in The Art of Seduction. Flex Your Love Muscle with Jennie Andrus. Hmmmm, does this qualify as a warm up for the 5K Run in the SUITE Gym feature this month? ;-)
It's time for a Good Knight. So who is your favorite SUITE Knight ? We've had some great guys and you can see who the Kittens voted for over the past year and a half. And just to set the record straight...I was outvoted...again.
See you at RT!
