00:20:35: <StephCE>
00:20:47: <MeganGlider> I'm mad at Santino but i'm here anyway.

00:21:05: <BarbFunes> <---needs $$$ to move to DC
00:21:07: <StephCE> Me, but only bc I don't usually do preorders bc Kobo
sucks at them
00:21:17: <santino> Oh kobo, i dont know anything about that
00:21:23: <LoriNev> I haven't but I don't get paid til Friday that's why

00:21:53: <JoannaBlue> I have a separate $ that I use only for book and
book related things.
00:21:54: <santino> But, so HAVEN starts out with like... dude in the woods
thinking about kinky shit. like, he lives in the woods he isn't jacking it in a tent
or w/e. and then there is rescuing and hero shit and kinky sex
00:21:55: <santino> so
00:21:57: <Maximine> what was it?
00:21:59: <rafabrew> The BR pressure is real. I'll be crying in the corner.
00:22:00: <santino> buy that shit yo
00:22:01: <StephCE> The preorders don't show up until after you can already
buy the book...like hours later
00:22:21: <trinielf> there is also a dog
00:22:23: <MeganGlider> The thing about Haven is the banter is fabulous
and the characters really talk
00:22:29: <MeganGlider> like it's mature. i dig it so much
00:22:32: <MeganGlider> and yes I love the dog
00:22:33: <trinielf> yes the communication was my fave thing!
00:22:34: <JoannaBlue> I'm always there for the banter TBH

00:22:42: <BarbFunes> isn't that this week?
00:22:44: <MeganGlider> good banter. even when she's tied up, she's
sassing him.

00:25:10: <layla> Nice! When I get those cover emails, I cover my face and
peek through my fingers. Always so nervous.

00:25:17: <emanthony> 13i mean............. that's illegal contact
00:25:28: <santino> 12I want to see some other kinds of font and stuff, so
it's not final, but there should be a reveal
00:25:29: <MeganGlider> Kharlita!
00:25:34: <BarbFunes> @emanthony How about dong & balls hanging out
the front of a FB helmet?
00:25:38: <santino> 12Yeah, Layla, that's totally what I did
00:25:41: <emanthony> 13lollll
00:25:43: <santino> 12I was afraid to look
00:25:59: <Kharlita> Why am I always at the movies when there is a chat. Ppl
are gonna kill me again.
00:26:03: <santino> 12So... anyone have any questions about anything?
00:26:09: <santino> 12Fuck those people!
00:26:13: <Kharlita> I am a pretzel in this chair.
00:26:14: <JoannaBlue> LOL what are you seeing?
00:26:14: <trinielf> hahahah oh no not again kharlita
00:26:22: <SandyC4now> What is your release schedule looking like for
2018? :)
00:26:24: <JoannaBlue> I'm at work, soooo
00:26:33: <Kharlita> F8. It's always pretty good.
00:26:39: <santino> 12Ha, funny you ask Sandy. I was just reading an email
with the next 3 Five Boroughs dates
00:26:40: <BarbFunes> Is there an estimated release for Mature Content?
00:26:43: <trinielf> im lazing in my bed after devouring this kfc Santino style
lol
00:27:17: <StephCE> Nice Nat (:
00:27:31: <SandyC4now> Aaaaand...?
00:27:35: <santino> 12All right, so 2018 so far is January for Football 2,
then I'll have the last two FIve Boroughs in April and June
00:27:35: <JoannaBlue> I'm legit at the front desk at my job, listening to
standup and chatting with ya'll - employee of the year
00:27:40: <santino> 12with a surprise!novella in May
00:27:49: <SandyC4now> Oh, that's great! :)
00:27:52: <JoannaBlue> Like, next month May?
00:27:57: <santino> 12Yes, next year
00:27:58: <Maximine> I want to have a sneak view on Clive's story
00:28:03: <JoannaBlue> Or next year May
00:28:08: <Maximine> at least some background on the character
00:28:11: <santino> 12All of that is for 2018
00:28:13: <Maximine> mis that possible?
00:28:14: <santino> 12So over a year away
00:28:16: <trinielf> next year *cries*
00:28:28: <SandyC4now> How much of those books have you actually
written?
00:28:31: <Alleson> I'm still jonesing for the angst that is Chris.
00:28:32: <JoannaBlue> And the Antho is when?
00:28:32: <santino> 12I don't have any of Clive's stuff started
00:28:38: <Maximine> Oh
00:28:40: <trinielf> but u do have a bunch out this year too soooo imma be
patient lol
00:28:41: <Maximine> :-(
00:28:42: <BarbFunes> Sometimes it's the future book releases by fave
authors that give me that extra push to keep going
00:28:42: <santino> 12The anthology comes out this November
00:28:53: <SandyC4now> I agree, Barb!
00:29:00: <Ewaken> *last* two Five Boroughs. that phrase makes me sad.
00:29:01: <santino> 12Yeah, 2018 feels super far away but I feel like
authors plan 1-2 years in advance
00:29:02: <JoannaBlue> Same here too
00:29:11: <layla> Barb, I actually set my deadlines based on release dates for
books I want to read, LOL
00:29:16: <MeganGlider> Yeah my 2018 is seriously already set.
00:29:20: <JoannaBlue> It's not tho... we're almost halfway through 2017
00:29:22: <BarbFunes> It's like, wow this shit sucks....BUT MOAR FIVE
BOROUGHS
00:29:26: <santino> 12I mean I say last because for me Clive's book will
complete the story arc for everyone, but if i ever get hit with an idea I can
alway come back
00:29:29: <StephCE> Does anyone else worry abt dying b4 all your
anticipated books are out? No...just me lol
00:29:36: <BarbFunes> ME
00:29:37: <santino> 12LOL
00:29:37: <MeganGlider> lmao StephCE
00:29:38: <BarbFunes> I DO
00:29:39: <santino> 12StephCE
00:29:39: <RNMJ> that's so true Barb
00:29:39: <trinielf> omggg yes steph meee
00:29:41: <Kharlita> Omg
00:29:41: <Maximine> Ah ah
00:29:44: <SandyC4now> I've seen other authors do crossovers in their
series (like one or two characters meet with characters from another). Would
you ever do that?
00:29:45: <LoriNev> YES!
00:29:45: <JoannaBlue> StephCE I worry about all kinds of shit happening
before my fave books come out
00:29:46: <santino> 12im dying
00:29:48: <trinielf> no lie that's what i fear
00:29:48: <Maximine> thats so morbid
00:29:52: <MeganGlider> he's so morbid b/c he'll be like "we'll write that book
together IF I'M NOT DEAD"
00:29:54: <Maximine> lol
00:29:54: <MeganGlider> and then i refuse to speak to him
00:30:00: <SandyC4now> LOL, Megan
00:30:00: <santino> 12Sandy, we kind of did that with Five Boroughs and
Cyberlove!
00:30:10: <santino> 12It's hard to do it with characters in books from
different publishers
00:30:15: <SandyC4now> A little bit, with Ray. That's true.
00:30:22: <BarbFunes> If death comes for me too soon, I'm going to be like,
"Fuck you! I need to finish Santino's books. Get the fuck outta here!"
00:30:37: <trinielf> same barb same
00:30:38: <MeganGlider> I, uh, might have done an tiny In Focus thing in
MC......
00:30:46: <SandyC4now> Yay, Megan!
00:30:47: <trinielf> >.>
00:30:47: <StephCE> Good Meg...keep giving him shit over that!!!
00:30:48: <Brea25> I stepped away for a bit and there's death talk lol
00:30:50: <Maximine> Wow Megan!!!!!
00:30:53: <JoannaBlue> Now, you with the teasing. Lovely. ;-)
00:30:57: <MeganGlider> lol
00:31:00: <Maximine> thats so cool
00:31:00: <Ramen98> Arg, just got here guys, hey!\
00:31:09: <santino> 12Hey guys!
00:31:12: <BarbFunes> Finishing books >>>>> death
00:31:21: <JoannaBlue> Hahah Barb
00:31:28: <santino> 12so the good thing about the Five Boroughs anthology
is that there will be a lot of Raymond
00:31:31: <santino> 12Which makes me happy
00:31:32: <BarbFunes> Like, I should have people lined up to read to me in a
coma just in case.
00:31:39: <JoannaBlue> Makes all of us happy methinks
00:31:43: <SandyC4now> More Ray! Yay! :)
00:31:46: <trinielf> Rayyyyy
00:31:46: <NicoleLinSC> LOL Barb
00:31:48: <Brea25> me too. Raymond is my favorite nugget
00:31:48: <BarbFunes> YAY RAY
00:31:50: <RNMJ> Steph I worry more about the authors dying before
finishing rather than myself lol
00:31:53: <santino> 12Ray will be scowling at everyone a lot
00:31:55: <Kharlita> Barb just come back and haunt him
00:32:00: <santino> 12He disapproves of basically everything and is
overprotective
00:32:05: <trinielf> ok enough of this death talk now! no one is dying ever
00:32:05: <Alleson> Did you expect him to be a breakout character?
00:32:07: <JoannaBlue> I love it
00:32:07: <Maximine> any chance to see Oki and Caleb's wedding?
00:32:11: <BarbFunes> Fuck yeah. I'm going to haunt your ass Santino lol
00:32:14: <StephCE> That yoo RMNJ
00:32:15: <santino> 12>.> Actually, yes Maximine
00:32:16: <Maximine> oli, not Oki
00:32:26: <SandyC4now> Yay, Oli and Caleb's wedding!!!
00:32:29: <Maximine> Yeah!!!!!!
00:32:30: <SandyC4now> I love this chat already.
00:32:35: <layla> yes, more caleb!
00:32:36: <santino> 12The wedding itself won't be until a later book
00:32:41: <santino> 12But there will be Talk in the anthology
00:32:50: <Maximine> serriously, with Caleb, you created a character who I
could so relate to
00:32:50: <SandyC4now> That's okay, at least it's happening eventually.
00:32:50: <BarbFunes> *Talk
00:33:00: <Maximine> yoh can't imagine how much I love Caleb
00:33:03: <santino> 12That's always so amazing to hear, because everyone
haaaated him after Sunset
00:33:06: <JoannaBlue> Maximine that was me with Mikey
00:33:07: <LoriNev> Same Maximine
00:33:19: <SandyC4now> Caleb = best character redemption ever
00:33:25: <JoannaBlue> I've never hated any of your guys, except Trey and
even then...
00:33:26: <santino> 12Did I tell you guys that Nunzio gets two awesome
scenes in Concourse?
00:33:33: <JoannaBlue> NO!
00:33:37: <BarbFunes> maybe.... ?
00:33:39: <RNMJ> am I the only one who hated David at first? lol
00:33:39: <santino> 12Ashton is flustered by him
00:33:41: <layla> That's why I'm so looking forward to Clive too. The
redemption arc.
00:33:43: <rafabrew> Nunzioooooo
00:33:52: <santino> 12LOL RNMJ, def not. I see a lot of readers wh ostill
hate David
00:33:53: <SandyC4now> RNMJ, nope. I wasn't a huge David fan at first.
00:33:54: <BarbFunes> I recall a scene at the lgbtq center
00:33:57: <MeganGlider> gahhhhh i'm starting this asap and now i'm even
more excited
00:33:58: <JoannaBlue> Everyone is flustered by Zio
00:34:00: <BarbFunes> with nunzio and ashton
00:34:02: <rafabrew> Nunzio got me out of lurk mode. No energy today lol
00:34:04: <MeganGlider> nunzio is my fave
00:34:05: <Kharlita> shut yo mouths. David is sacred.
00:34:08: <trinielf> im still waiting for david to grow on me >.> as i alread told
santino
00:34:10: <Ramen98> I am so down for Clive's book
00:34:13: <trinielf> i will tolerate him for Ray lol
00:34:18: <Kharlita> I will fight you Nat
00:34:19: <MeganGlider> Agreed Kharlita david should be protected at all
costs
00:34:22: <trinielf> :P
00:34:29: <santino> 12Yeah, Ashton thinks he is a big mess and Nunzio is a
Responsible Adult, and he gets all flustered and embarrassed in his presence
00:34:30: <Brea25> folks forever hating on David
00:34:36: <rafabrew> Who's more extra, David or Ashton?
00:34:39: <BarbFunes> adorbz
00:34:41: <JoannaBlue> LOL Right Brea25
00:34:42: <SandyC4now> It's a real shame we're not invested in these
characters... ;)
00:34:45: <santino> 12In terms of over reaction?
00:34:49: <santino> 12Or
00:34:53: <Maximine> ok, David is a whiny little brat but he is good to Ray
00:34:56: <Maximine> so no hate
00:34:59: <rafabrew> Just... needy. Precious.
00:34:59: <Maximine> lol
00:35:01: <santino> 12.....Probably David. David is pretty extra
00:35:09: <Kharlita> extra amazing!
00:35:09: <santino> 12Ashton pretends to be more extra than he actually is
00:35:14: <rafabrew> Or emo?
00:35:19: <santino> 12Ashton is super emo
00:35:19: <Brea25> uhmmmm some of us don't know Ashton well yet
00:35:23: <Ramen98> but like... that's what makes hims special
00:35:40: <MeganGlider> name a santino character who isn't emo at one
point. I'll wait lmao
00:35:42: <BarbFunes> I bet Ashton listened to Good Charlotte in the 2000s.
>.>
00:35:45: <santino> 12I don't think Concourse is that angsty, but people
seem to always have a different level of angst than me
00:35:48: <JoannaBlue> 10 days... gahhhhd
00:35:50: <SandyC4now> Haha, Megan
00:35:52: <trinielf> lol
00:35:52: <NicoleLinSC> Right Megan
00:35:54: <Maximine> Val looks like a grumpier Michael
00:36:00: <Brea25> same @joannablue
00:36:04: <MeganGlider> barbfunes i LISTENED TO GOOD CHARLOTTE
IN THE 2000s
00:36:07: <BarbFunes> ME TOO
00:36:12: <rafabrew> Eh. Angst is always subjective.
00:36:16: <santino> 12Good Charlotte is pretty awful tbh
00:36:18: <StephCE> Impossible Meg lol
00:36:20: <MeganGlider> MOTIVATION PROCLAMATION IS STILL MY
JAM
00:36:22: <LoriNev> I have to know why you could be so cruel as to schedule
a release the day before RT starts? Hmmmm? I'm gonna be busy that week.
00:36:22: <JoannaBlue> Children... I listened to NIN in the 90s... ALL THE
ANGST
00:36:23: <MeganGlider> I KNOW SANTINO
00:36:25: <Ewaken> lol did you guys have scene kid hair too
00:36:33: <Maximine> never listened to Good Charlotte
00:36:35: <RNMJ> half of the dislike was on behalf of my mother having to
deal with new teachers and the other half was because of Nunzio/Mikey
00:36:36: <trinielf> hahahaha
00:36:37: <JoannaBlue> I listen to NIN still, but then it was like....
00:36:39: <BarbFunes> @meganglider I found a playlist on spotify that is
"Summer Hits of the 2000s" and all the EMO came back to me
00:36:46: <SandyC4now> Lori, the May 1 release is for those of us who can't
go to RT. :)
00:36:47: <MeganGlider> *makes everyone listen to motivation proclamation*
00:36:50: <Maximine> not living in the US helps
00:36:50: <rafabrew> I nearly died when JBrew told me the Madden brothers
are married to.... whoever they're married to.
00:36:51: <Maximine> lol
00:36:54: <santino> 12One thing that surprised me with SB is how many
people loved the teacher dynamics
00:37:09: <Brea25> lol rafa
00:37:10: <santino> 12Uhh one of them was with a Hilton for a while I think
00:37:16: <StephCE> Same Jo...so much angst
00:37:19: <MeganGlider> benji
00:37:25: <layla> Joanna, with you on the NIN in the 90s. Have you seen him
acoustic? Amazing!
00:37:29: <MeganGlider> nicole ritchie is married to joel
00:37:29: <rafabrew> I think you really brought the teachers and students to
life in SB.
00:37:30: <santino> 12Anyways, anyone have any other book questions?
00:37:31: <MeganGlider> i know all this i'm a loser
00:37:32: <JoannaBlue> Joel was married to Nicole Ritchie. Not sure if they
still are tho
00:37:35: <Brea25> why does Megan know that
00:37:37: <NicoleLinSC> I really enjoyed that part of the books
student/teacher interactions
00:37:37: <LoriNev> SandyC4now - I'm only able to go because I live in atl
00:37:42: <Maximine> The Barrons!!!!
00:37:46: <MeganGlider> hey i used to go on dlisted a lot, okay?
00:37:48: <NicoleLinSC> Just not hot for teacher please
00:37:48: <SandyC4now> You're lucky, Lori!
00:37:49: <Maximine> im really excited about that
00:37:51: <JoannaBlue> Layla YASSSSS
00:37:54: <rafabrew> Is Cameron Diaz the other one?
00:37:59: <santino> 12A lot of people ask me for YA about the Five
Boroughs students, but I'm not sure if I can do YA
00:38:03: <JoannaBlue> Layla I'm always invested in TR
00:38:08: <rafabrew> I don't know who's married to whom
00:38:15: <SandyC4now> Why couldn't you do YA? Sure you could.
00:38:18: <BarbFunes> Are you considering a 5B spin off? *cough* YA
books about teens at the LGBTQ center *cough*
00:38:22: <santino> 12I like writing about sex a lot
00:38:27: <santino> 12They'd have to be older
00:38:28: <trinielf> so who's story are u most excited to write in the antho?
00:38:29: <Brea25> lmao
00:38:31: <SandyC4now> What, young adults don't have sex??
00:38:33: <NicoleLinSC> lol
00:38:33: <santino> 12And I won't put sex in YA
00:38:36: <Maximine> I'm too old for YS
00:38:38: <MeganGlider> no you like writing about jizz santino don't lie to
your people
00:38:39: <Maximine> YA
00:38:44: <rafabrew> Okay good because I'm a terrible person who can't
relate to YA
00:38:46: <SandyC4now> You don't have to write explicit sex.
00:38:47: <StaceyB> What about "new adult" then. They can have sex.
00:38:47: <BarbFunes> so write the sex scenes, pull them out & fade to
black for publishing lol
00:38:48: <santino> 12I don't judge people who do, I just have no desire to
write about teens having sex
00:38:50: <NicoleLinSC> Me too rafa
00:38:54: <Maximine> me too
00:39:01: <santino> 12I could write about them older
00:39:04: <SandyC4now> Or new adult - college age kids.
00:39:04: <Maximine> i didn't have s x when I was a tee
00:39:06: <Maximine> teen
00:39:09: <trinielf> college kids
00:39:11: <NicoleLinSC> I like it more as a side plot type thing
00:39:12: <santino> 12Yeah
00:39:23: <Maximine> (well, I still don't, but that's not the point)
00:39:24: <santino> 12Sorry, Nat didn't see your question
00:39:25: <rafabrew> Ahaha write YA, but save the sex scenes for
Patreonnnnnn lol
00:39:28: <santino> 12So antho-wise...
00:39:38: <santino> 12I'm most excited for Mere and Tonya right now
00:39:42: <JoannaBlue> YAY
00:39:47: <BarbFunes> YES
00:39:47: <trinielf> yessss same
00:39:48: <BarbFunes> TONYA
00:39:52: <santino> 12I actually got this great fit of inspiration while talking
to Ashley about this
00:39:56: <Maximine> yes! F/F
00:39:56: <JoannaBlue> Tonya is gahhhhhhh
00:39:56: <santino> 12I can tell you how it starts
00:39:57: <trinielf> i might like tonya a lot >.>
00:39:57: <rafabrew> Whose POV, Mere, T or both?
00:40:09: <JoannaBlue> Yes, do that
00:40:12: <Brea25> *chin hands*
00:40:13: <SandyC4now> This sounds interesting.
00:40:13: <RNMJ> oh off topic....ABSOLUTELY LOVED Insight and can't wait
for more of that series...esp since that is not a genre I usually get down
with...excellent job!
00:40:15: <emanthony> 13happy to help
00:40:15: <santino> 12Tonya probably? I'm not sure how I'll split in a
novella. I've never written a novella so it might all be very terrible
00:40:16: <santino> 12But
00:40:21: <Ramen98> what's Tonya's ethnicity? I've been wondering for a
while
00:40:23: <santino> 12Thanks RN!
00:40:24: <BarbFunes> *continues to get a wee bit drunk off bad sangria*
00:40:27: <santino> 12Tonya is Puerto Rican
00:40:34: <Ramen98> Ah okay
00:40:35: <JoannaBlue> Pretty sure it won't be fucking terrible, but please
continue
00:40:37: <santino> 12The whole queens crew is, except Angel/Sharky who
is half Italian-American
00:41:01: <trinielf> me to friend: tonyaaa. friend: ur totally in love with tonya
you know this right? me: uh perhaps lol
00:41:10: <rafabrew> The only way it could be really terrible is if you wrote
too much and it's a novel (yes, do that please)
00:41:21: <trinielf> lol rafa
00:41:21: <Brea25> soooo how does it start?
00:41:33: <BarbFunes> I have a ladyboner for Tonya and I barely know her
*swoon*
00:41:35: <santino> 12So, Tonya is doing a security gig at an event Mere is
attending when the novella starts. Mere keeps trying to get under her skin but
Tonya has already decided Mere is not for her and a bad idea. But then
something happens, Tonya has a hero moment, and they end up spending
time together
00:41:36: <santino> 12Vague
00:41:48: <emanthony> 13oh yeah i forgot we had that convo
00:41:50: <emanthony> 13i remember now
00:41:55: <emanthony> 13YOU'RE WELCOME EVERYONE I GAVE HIM
THIS IDEA
00:41:58: <rafabrew> What was T in the military?
00:41:59: <RNMJ> that's the part of the antho I'm most looking forward to what trinielf said
00:42:00: <Maximine> Is Mere bi or bi-curious?
00:42:03: <BarbFunes> "hero moment"
00:42:10: <Candie> that sounds amazing, I cant wait
00:42:15: <santino> 12Mere is bisexual
00:42:19: <trinielf> sends whatever ashley wants to her house as thanks
00:42:21: <Brea25> yes rafabrew
00:42:21: <rafabrew> Hero, aka not a sandwich moment, I take it
00:42:25: <santino> 12Tonya was a Marine
00:42:30: <BarbFunes> "hero moment" = gives her the best orgasm of her
life?
00:42:33: <emanthony> 13I want candy
00:42:34: <BarbFunes> >.>
00:42:35: <santino> 12Nah
00:42:44: <santino> 12Basically there is a subplot that will be built in, and
will matter more in CLive's book
00:42:46: <rafabrew> Did she see a lot of action?
00:42:47: <Brea25> oh barb
00:42:55: <Brea25> so early for that one already lol
00:42:55: <trinielf> getting right on that @em
00:42:56: <SandyC4now> Very cool. I know a former female Marine. She
joined right out of high school.
00:42:58: <santino> 12Where QFindr starts getting a lot of threats
00:43:00: <Maximine> don't remember the name of the character but there
was this badass soldier in The L Word
00:43:02: <Maximine> so sexy
00:43:02: <JoannaBlue> Candy on the way emanthony
00:43:09: <BarbFunes> oh!
00:43:10: <Maximine> thats how I picture Tonya
00:43:15: <Maximine> so dark skinned
00:43:20: <Candie> TASHA
00:43:27: <rafabrew> Maximine, I remember her. Alice's gf.
00:43:28: <Maximine> thank you!
00:43:32: <santino> 12And part of that leads to the hero moment
00:43:38: <NicoleLinSC> Sounds intriguing
00:43:42: <trinielf> i cannot wait
00:43:43: <Maximine> oh! There's a hero!
00:43:48: <santino> 12Yeah, I'm excited for Tonya to kick some dudes
asses tbh
00:43:50: <JoannaBlue> Love love love can't freaking wait
00:43:55: <trinielf> whoo! yess
00:43:55: <BarbFunes> yes
00:44:04: <RNMJ> oh that's going to be so awesome

gets to delve into often enough
00:44:09: <emanthony> 13FIGHT SCENES
00:44:17: <RNMJ> USMC for the win...woohoo Tonya
00:44:22: <JoannaBlue> I give you a lot of teasing shit, but I really am wicked
stoked for everything coming down the pike
00:44:29: <Ramen98> yassss I am okay with this

00:44:35: <santino> 12Yeah, I left my fight scenes in ICoS, but there will be
SOME in The Community

00:44:53: <emanthony> 13yes and they're intense
00:44:54: <RNMJ> that is so going to rock....
00:44:57: <Maximine> No fighting in The Barons?
00:44:59: <Maximine> :-)
00:45:04: <layla> Was going to ask if we'd see more in Community, because
tension building there.
00:45:11: <NicoleLinSC> The Community is the series I'm most excited
about - love paranormal
00:45:12: <Ewaken> icos fight scenes were my favorite. especially the level
10 training ones.
00:45:13: <santino> 12There's.... some stuff lol
00:45:21: <RNMJ> some stuff?>???
00:45:30: <RNMJ> lol that's not vague at all
00:45:34: <Maximine> more teasing please!
00:45:34: <santino> 12There's soe stuff in Illegal Contact with a fight that
got the main character in trouble with the law
00:45:42: <santino> 12I don't want to spoil too much so early
00:45:48: <Ramen98> I mean the fight scene in the forest...
00:45:50: <santino> 12And in the second book, there are some scuffles
00:46:04: <emanthony> 13fight me
00:46:06: <santino> 12But yeah, that's so far away I hate teasing so early lol
00:46:14: <Maximine> I don't care the spoiling... I want The Barons!!!!
00:46:14: <rafabrew> Is there any football action?
00:46:18: <BarbFunes> @emanthony Come at me bro!
00:46:30: <santino> 12yeah, there's football. more in book 2 than book 1,
because book 1 the hero is on house arrest
00:46:31: <Kharlita> Ok I have to go *cries* The guy in the back just kicked
my chair.
00:46:33: <santino> 12but i worked it in
00:46:34: <JoannaBlue> Santino you do NOT hate teasing.
00:46:37: <StephCE> For the Barons series are the characters all connected
or are they separate stories?
00:46:38: <Kharlita> Have a good rest of the day everyone!!!
00:46:39: <santino> 12awww bye kharlita!
00:46:46: <santino> 12They're connected, Steph
00:46:48: <MeganGlider> I do have to say he did a great job on the football
scenes
00:46:48: <rafabrew> Bye Kharlita
00:46:49: <Kharlita> <3333
00:46:54: <RNMJ> bye Kharlita
00:46:58: <santino> 12You meet the hero of book 2 in book 1. They're best
friends
00:47:00: <Kharlita> Adios!
00:47:03: <santino> 12Teammates
00:47:09: <Ramen98> Bye!
00:47:10: <santino> 12Thanks Megan :D
00:47:16: <JoannaBlue> Are all of the Barrons MM?
00:47:18: <RNMJ> I'm already loving this...
00:47:20: <santino> 12Yep
00:47:45: <Ramen98> Are all the books in the Barrons following the same
couple?
00:47:47: <santino> 12Book 1 is Gavin and Noah. Gavin is on house arrest,
and his manager kinda forces him to get a PA
00:47:53: <Maximine> I don't know why I'm so into sport romance
00:47:58: <santino> 12I was inspired by a football version of Beauty and the
Beast initially
00:48:01: <LoriNev> tight pants
00:48:02: <BarbFunes> Same Maximine
00:48:07: <Maximine> and having one written by Santino is a dream come
true
00:48:11: <santino> 12No, Ramen. Book 2 is a diffcouple
00:48:12: <RNMJ> yesss Lori
00:48:24: <santino> 12Book 2 is about Simeon, Gavin's best friend
00:48:35: <santino> 12It's enemies-to-lovers. Simeon and a rival on another
team
00:48:41: <BarbFunes> But I do love going to college fb games, so maybe it
makes sense?
00:48:42: <Brea25> awww one of my favorite people is named Simeon
00:48:43: <santino> 12But legit that comes out next January so it's faaaar
00:48:45: <JoannaBlue> OHHH!!!
00:48:45: <trinielf> enemies to lovers oooh
00:48:53: <Maximine> oh! Rivals!!!
00:48:53: <Ramen98> Ahh, that's my favorite
00:48:55: <JoannaBlue> 8 months? That's nothin' hahha
00:49:04: <JoannaBlue> Enemies to Lovers is MY FAVWE
00:49:07: <BarbFunes> 8 months? that's less than creating a human
00:49:07: <StephCE> I love when it's rival teams
00:49:09: <santino> 12Uh yeah, book 2 of The Barons may be one of my
favorite things to have written since Sunset Park tbh
00:49:19: <JoannaBlue> Especially when they're mean to each other. I love it
00:49:26: <santino> 12I love Simeon and Adrian
00:49:33: <Ramen98> WAT, and it comes in JANUARY?
00:49:38: <RNMJ> gawd I'm trying so hard not to go the juvenile "tight-end"
joke route...but for reals...what positions are we talking? offense? defense?
special teams?
00:49:45: <santino> 12Book 1 is this August, book 2 is January
00:49:54: <layla> Yeah, here for Book 2 for sure (and Book 1)
00:49:58: <BarbFunes> RNMJ U of MI had a tight end named Jake Butts
00:50:09: <BarbFunes> He was named Big Ten Tightend of the Year lol
00:50:09: <RNMJ> you're killing me Barb
00:50:10: <santino> 12I'm trying to think of something else interesting to talk
about
00:50:24: <BarbFunes> it's true
00:50:25: <santino> 12Uhh any Mature Content questions since Megan is
also here?
00:50:30: <rafabrew> Whose books are you excited ab]
00:50:31: <santino> 12We're slating it for very early June

00:50:39: <Ramen98> Are you ever going back to after midnight?
00:50:40: <RNMJ> how about we talk about how you and Meg have been
teasing all of us with your ARC of Haven? hmmm?
00:50:44: <Maximine> Can I say something about character names? I love
how you manage to make sexy names that are associated with older people
here (French speaking countries). Raymond is the name of one of my uncles
and I would have never associated with sexyness
00:50:47: <rafabrew> Ugh my cat is stepping all over my keyboard
00:50:51: <Maximine> he has to thank you
00:50:54: <Maximine>

when watching Bloodline. It's adult dirty noir :]
00:53:50: <MeganGlider> lol
00:53:55: <BarbFunes> B/c they're the bane of each other's existance
00:53:59: <santino> 12I'm planning for erotic romantic suspense

00:54:40: <Ramen98> Honestly, I think MC is going to be one of my favorite
books by you
00:54:44: <RNMJ> hey ship names are the greatest lol
00:54:47: <BarbFunes> Oli & Caleb are THE WORST to make a ship name
00:54:50: <Maximine> I really have to use my Netflix account
00:54:52: <SandyC4now> Agree, Barb.
00:54:52: <JoannaBlue> That wa tough
00:54:56: <SandyC4now> Almost impossible.

lol
00:55:04: <JoannaBlue> Collie?
00:55:05: <santino> 12I like MC a lot, but the characters don't like each
other for half of the book
00:55:09: <RNMJ> haha "coli" ewww now I'm thinking colic....not sexy at all

00:55:31: <MeganGlider> and he's like, well lots of sex tho
00:55:41: <rafabrew> Any more Cyber Love lined up after Mature Content?
00:55:44: <JoannaBlue> Hate is my fave, soooo
00:55:47: <santino> 12The sex I think is more frequent than in any of the
other books
00:55:50: <StephCE> Hate sex is hot
00:55:52: <Maximine> i was reading F&F at work (on release day). Thank
god im alone in my office and it has a door
00:55:56: <JoannaBlue> All the hate sex please
00:56:02: <BarbFunes> Hate sex for ever
00:56:04: <Ramen98> PLEASE
00:56:05: <rafabrew> Do Zane and Beau live in the same city?
00:56:12: <santino> 12Good question Rafa
00:56:13: <santino> 12So
00:56:26: <santino> 12MC is actually a little different in that ... they're not as
far apart. They both live in LA
00:56:39: <BarbFunes> Wait. It's TrashyZane & what is Beau's YouTube
name?
00:56:39: <RNMJ> wait...zane's delusional cousin...gawd...brain fart on his
name....will we get to know his deal
00:56:43: <santino> 12They still communicate via chat, and that's how they
initially start liking each other, but they're able to drop in on each other
00:56:44: <Ewaken> so what do you mean by "dirty noir?" that makes me
think of if david lynch directed porn, and i somehow don't think that's what
you're getting at.
00:57:01: <santino> 12Beau Starr!
00:57:02: <JoannaBlue> LOL can you imagine David Lynch porn?!
*shudders*
00:57:06: <santino> 12That's his YouTube name
00:57:09: <SandyC4now> Dropping in on each other makes sense, esp. if
there's constant hate sex happening.
00:57:09: <BarbFunes> oh
00:57:21: <MeganGlider> yeah and they also run into each other at events
00:57:25: <MeganGlider> and cons
00:57:26: <BarbFunes> ooooh
00:57:27: <Alleson> That was his cousin? I thought they were just familiar.
00:57:28: <Candie> megan i sent you the name of a song i think is perfect for
luke. did you have a chance to check it out?
00:57:29: <RNMJ> well that does make it convienent lol
00:57:29: <santino> 12Re dirty Noir: There will be PIs, strippers, corruption,
and a lot of sex
00:57:35: <rafabrew> I'd be having all the angry hate sex too after LA traffic
00:57:41: <MeganGlider> Oh no i didn't yet Candie! I'll check that out tonight!
00:57:42: <JoannaBlue> mm?
00:57:43: <BarbFunes> lol rafabrew
00:57:44: <RNMJ> I'm not even sure...not sure why I thought cousin
00:57:48: <Ramen98> would it be M/M?
00:57:49: <rafabrew> and ciggie smoke?
00:57:51: <StephCE> Dirty Noir..
00:57:51: <Maximine> Dirty Noir is really adult!
00:57:52: <Ewaken> OH. so apparently i already like dirty noir.
00:57:55: <RNMJ> but the one dude...yall know who I'm talking about lol
00:57:58: <santino> 12I plan for it to beM/M but I havent 100% committed
00:58:00: <rafabrew> Ciggie smoke and fedoras?
00:58:04: <santino> 12It's stil pretty early
00:58:06: <santino> 12Lots of smoking
00:58:25: <MeganGlider> lol
00:58:25: <santino> 12I mostly have a vague four book series sketched out
00:58:25: <Ramen98> indoors, during dinner, after dinner
00:58:27: <Brea25> and sweaty people like Bloodlines
00:58:36: <BarbFunes> So gay dirty cops?
00:58:37: <santino> 12Oh! I'll be writing one of the characters for this
month's patron short
00:58:40: <BarbFunes> getting dirty?
00:58:44: <Maximine> Oh yes!!!!!
00:58:45: <BarbFunes> with each other?
00:58:45: <JoannaBlue> Sweet!
00:58:47: <RNMJ> yaay!!!
00:58:52: <santino> 12It will be my chance to flesh him out some and get to
know him, so I'm excited
00:59:09: <Carolyn> Santino, do you write down your ideas in a notebook or
are you all digital with your ideas?
00:59:11: <layla> Kind of like True Detective S2 feel?
00:59:12: <JoannaBlue> Looking forward to it
00:59:19: <santino> 12Layla, that actually fits
00:59:20: <santino> 12Yes
00:59:26: <santino> 12It's in Florida though
00:59:31: <rafabrew> Would you consider doing f/f or m/f for the dirty noir
series?
00:59:38: <santino> 12So, I can't plan digitally IDK why
00:59:42: <santino> 12I have to free hand write
00:59:50: <Maximine> Same question here, Rafa!
00:59:56: <layla> That'll be nice contrast.
01:00:06: <santino> 12There's something about writing and kinesthetic stuff
that helps me think
01:00:13: <Maximine> F/F that I've read so far are so boring
01:00:15: <santino> 12So I'll sketch out stuff on my whiteboard or on paper
01:00:21: <Maximine> Santino, please save us!
01:00:26: <Ewaken> omg the cover possibilities for said dirty noir stuff!!!
01:00:31: <santino> 12It will probably be mosrly M/M tbh
01:00:39: <santino> 12Or mostly M/F
01:00:57: <santino> 12But probably M/M
01:00:58: <rafabrew> I barely even read m/f anymore but I'd love to see you
write m/f
01:01:05: <JoannaBlue> Same rafa
01:01:10: <BarbFunes> same
01:01:11: <RNMJ> ditto
01:01:11: <santino> 12Angel and Steph's novella will be M/F
01:01:13: <santino> 12My first attempt
01:01:15: <NicoleLinSC> ^^This
01:01:19: <rafabrew> Brilliant
01:01:23: <Maximine> oh really!
01:01:23: <trinielf> they can still be queer in m/f juuuus saying :P
01:01:25: <Maximine> wow!
01:01:25: <Patron|74828> Love Florida stories
01:01:26: <santino> 12We'll see how that goes lol
01:01:29: <MeganGlider> he's "nervous" i'm like dude it'll be fine
01:01:30: <Candie> I am so excited for steph and angel.
01:01:42: <santino> 12Stephanie is pansexual, which is why Riptide was
okay putting an M/F in the anthology
01:01:48: <Maximine> lol megan
01:01:48: <rafabrew> M/m/f sounds very adult dirty noir to me lololol JUST
SAYING
01:01:51: <RNMJ> yeah I'm looking for to angel/steph almost as much as
tonya/mere
01:01:55: <trinielf> lol rafa
01:01:57: <JoannaBlue> Pretty sure Santino could write the phone book and
we'd all preorder it, sooo
01:02:00: <Ewaken> YES rafa
01:02:02: <RNMJ> lol rafa
01:02:04: <santino> 12Aww you guys are nice
01:02:06: <BarbFunes> haha or a grocery list
01:02:09: <SandyC4now> Yes, Joanna.
01:02:11: <RNMJ> see there's a lady who GETS it lol
01:02:15: <JoannaBlue> LOL a cereal box
01:02:23: <paola> I can't wait for Angel/Steph storie
01:02:29: <santino> 12Yeah, I've never written t before so I have
hesitations, but I'm committed at this point so there's no avoiding it
01:02:31: <JoannaBlue> Paola !!!!
01:02:33: <santino> 12I'm still fleshing out the meat of their story
01:02:35: <JoannaBlue> I die for your face!
01:02:43: <santino> 12I have teh MMM and FF planned out
01:02:44: <JoannaBlue> That was at Paola
01:02:46: <rafabrew> Ha you said meat....
01:02:55: <JoannaBlue> Fleshing the meat
01:02:56: <Maximine> BTW, you did an amazing job with the shorts
01:02:56: <StephCE> Angel has the meat *sorry I'll see myself out*
01:02:57: <BarbFunes> flesh and meat
01:02:58: <MeganGlider> Hey paola!
01:03:05: <Maximine> Clive's one made me cry
01:03:08: <Maximine> realky
01:03:16: <santino> 12LOL Steph
01:03:23: <JoannaBlue> Me too, I teared up
01:03:23: <santino> 12Thanks Max!
01:03:28: <Candie> what about m/m/f?
01:03:30: <BarbFunes> I must have no soul.
01:03:30: <RNMJ> lol we all act like we're 12...like hehe boobies
01:03:30: <santino> 12Clive is not a happy dude :/
01:03:32: <Maximine> so I can't wait for The anthology and the rest of 5B
01:03:43: <rafabrew> You wrote an Angel and Steph short before right?
01:03:47: <JoannaBlue> RNMJ for real! I love it
01:03:51: <santino> 12Yeah, in the wedding vignettes
01:03:53: <RNMJ> me too!!!
01:03:59: <santino> 12The tricky thing with the anthology is the chronology
01:04:06: <rafabrew> Hmmmm... no ages ago... she needed a ride into the
city
01:04:07: <RNMJ> I'm all over here like.."these are my people"
01:04:07: <paola> Hey ! Joanna I did for your face too
01:04:09: <santino> 12A lot of the shorts have been all over timeline-wise
01:04:16: <Alleson> Will the douchecanoe from Hard Wired get his own
story, though? I can't remember his name, atm, but I feel like it started with a
"D."
01:04:17: <santino> 12So it will take place after CONCOURSE
01:04:32: <santino> 12Alleson, do you mean Lyrix?
01:04:34: <JoannaBlue> Linux? Lyric?
01:04:36: <RNMJ> yes Alleson...that's exactly what I wanted to know
01:04:38: <JoannaBlue> see I almost had it
01:04:38: <BarbFunes> Linux lol
01:04:39: <santino> 12LOL Linux
01:04:42: <Alleson> Yeah, him.
01:04:45: <MeganGlider> Alleson that was Lyrix. He's in MC too.
01:04:47: <Alleson> Sorry
01:04:50: <JoannaBlue> Hahah operating system
01:04:51: <MeganGlider> lol it's fine
01:04:57: <Maximine> This one was quite a character. Really unlikable
01:04:57: <santino> 12So far we haven't planned on it, but he gets a scene
in MATURE CONTENT
01:05:00: <RNMJ> yeah but we wanna "know" his deal
01:05:03: <Maximine> can Hervé redeemed?
01:05:04: <santino> 12He is Zane's ex ;)
01:05:07: <NicoleLinSC> I'd love more Lyrix
01:05:11: <Alleson> Oooooh, okay.
01:05:12: <Maximine> can He be redeemed?
01:05:14: <trinielf> le gasp
01:05:16: <Ramen98> ooohhhh
01:05:18: <JoannaBlue> What about the Silver Fox and Staff Sgt? Do we
see them anywhere ever, please?
01:05:21: <NicoleLinSC> If he can be redeemed
01:05:24: <trinielf> i hate that guy lol
01:05:25: <kim> Nat says I missed NUMZIO talk
01:05:26: <RNMJ> he can be the caleb of cyberlove
01:05:30: <trinielf> yayy kiiim
01:05:34: <kim> wheee
01:05:35: <JoannaBlue> Hi Kim
01:05:35: <Maximine> i don't know
01:05:37: <santino> 12LOl We haven't planed on writing him yet
01:05:39: <Brea25> see I was not interested in him being redeemed but if
anyone could make it work...
01:05:46: <Maximine> you could feel the hurt in Caleb's actions
01:05:49: <Ramen98> is there ever a cross over from Cyberlove to FB's?
01:05:49: <santino> 12Our schedules are kind fo booked through the next
year or so, which is why we kind of pushed MC to get it in
01:05:53: <rafabrew> <---- doesn't have time for Lyrix
01:05:58: <Maximine> Lyrix seemed plain mean
01:06:03: <Brea25> me either rafabrew
01:06:07: <MeganGlider> yeah, we won't be able to write some cyberlove for
a bit after MC
01:06:08: <RNMJ> oh rafa don't hate....even assholes need love
01:06:09: <Alleson> I thought he was kind of sad.
01:06:09: <RNMJ> lol
01:06:13: <JoannaBlue> I love mean dudes.... in books.
01:06:21: <santino> 12If we didn't pub it in June, it wouldn't come out until
next March
01:06:21: <MeganGlider> although we have a surprise in 2018 >.>
01:06:23: <BarbFunes> <-----creates a break in time & space to allow 14
months per year for more books
01:06:25: <NicoleLinSC> Second chances...
01:06:27: <santino> 12so we accelerated it
01:06:38: <santino> 12LOL Barb
01:06:39: <JoannaBlue> LOL we have a surprise... IN A YEAR!
01:06:41: <RNMJ> that sucks...I mean we'll make due with the rest of your
works...and pretend to be patient...but it's safe to say we all love it
01:06:43: <MeganGlider> HAHA
01:06:47: <rafabrew> What trope would you like to write that you haven't
tackled yet?
01:06:48: <SandyC4now> I hope the 2018 surprise includes a visit to The
Ripped Bodice. :)
01:06:49: <MeganGlider> Joanna hates us
01:06:53: <santino> 12Okay, we have like 15 minutes left. I always feel like I
just randomly chat in these and never get at anything significant lmao
01:06:57: <BarbFunes> rafabrew great question!
01:06:57: <Maximine> no way we could have waited until 2018 for Mature
Content
01:06:57: <JoannaBlue> Joanna loves you.
01:07:00: <StephCE> Right Jo...no biggie...IN A YEAR lol
01:07:01: <Maximine> vive juin!
01:07:01: <santino> 12Hmmm Rafa...
01:07:01: <MeganGlider> you covered a lot dude!
01:07:08: <Brea25> *looks at @MeganGlider*
01:07:09: <BarbFunes> it's all significant
01:07:10: <trinielf> surprise u say hmmm
01:07:11: <trinielf> >.>
01:07:17: <santino> 12Mistaken identity seems like a fun trope
01:07:24: <JoannaBlue> Sandy same question, does the surprise involve an
LA bookstore?
01:07:26: <JoannaBlue> Hahhaa
01:07:33: <Ramen98> how does that trope work?
01:07:39: <BarbFunes> what about writing more in depth kink/bdsm?
01:07:40: <rafabrew> Hard Wire was sort of that, no?
01:07:45: <santino> 12I'm trying to think of a book with that trope
01:07:55: <Alleson> Suddenly Seeking Susan
01:07:57: <santino> 12I'm not really into reading or writing BDSM tbh
01:08:06: <BarbFunes> fair enough
01:08:11: <Ewaken> would you ever want to do a sci-fi? like not a dystopian
kind, i'm talking full on space opera type stuff. cool aliens. scary shit.
01:08:15: <Maximine> I get that
01:08:15: <MeganGlider> yeah MC is about as far as we both go
01:08:15: <santino> 12I mean MC we will not promo as kink really because
it's more like... rough se?
01:08:16: <santino> 12sex
01:08:17: <layla> Captive Price is sort of mistaken identity.
01:08:22: <NicoleLinSC> BDSM isn't my thing either - unless it's pretty light
01:08:30: <santino> 12And Zane likes being tied up
01:08:34: <SandyC4now> For me it depends how it's written.
01:08:36: <MeganGlider> yeah there aren't like safe words in MC, just rough
stuff and dirty talk
01:08:41: <Maximine> not really into BDSM either
01:08:52: <santino> 12But I feel like kink is a whole lifestyle and realm that
needs to be written a certain way that I don't really feel capable of going into
fully?
01:08:52: <rafabrew> I thought Hardwired was more or less mistaken identity
01:08:53: <RNMJ> *le sigh* dirty talk....
01:08:53: <Ramen98> huh well I loved that series
01:08:55: <Maximine> you don't have to be that link to be not vanilla
01:09:08: <Maximine> kink
01:09:11: <BarbFunes> ok, I get that
01:09:15: <rafabrew> Fake boyfriends?
01:09:15: <Candie> i really liked seeing a different side of Beau. It was super
intriguing
01:09:25: <santino> 12Ohhh fake boyfriends or fake relationship
01:09:28: <santino> 12That's kinda fun
01:09:29: <rafabrew> Yes that
01:09:29: <Maximine> I seriously hate autocorrect
01:09:33: <BarbFunes> hmmmm
01:09:33: <trinielf> yesss i love fake dating
01:09:35: <RNMJ> agreed....that's a genre that respect of the minutae has to
be given
01:09:35: <santino> 12I would write that
01:09:45: <santino> 12Right, exactly
01:09:46: <SandyC4now> I like fake dating/boyfriends.
01:09:51: <rafabrew> I can't think of any books I've read with that trope
although I'm sure I have
01:09:52: <Alleson> I did think that Zane would be the more aggressive one,
though.
01:09:57: <santino> 12Now I want to read a book with fake boyfriends
01:09:58: <Carolyn> I know it can be a little bit soap opera, but I love memory
loss.
01:10:02: <rafabrew> Oooooh workplace romance? Co-workers?
01:10:10: <Maximine> Write one!
01:10:22: <santino> 12Hmmmmm Five Boroughs will have a unqiue kinda
coworkers
01:10:29: <rafabrew> Sweet
01:10:32: <santino> 12In Charles' book, he will work at the same place as
his love interest
01:10:36: <Candie> work place romance is a bad idea in real life.. lol
01:10:38: <santino> 12And there will be uh... magic mike style dancing
01:10:42: <JoannaBlue> Ohhhh! I like it
01:10:43: <santino> 12So it's not an office
01:10:46: <santino> 12It's a strip club
01:10:46: <Maximine> co-workers lovers suck... in real life... you best have
numerous stairs between you
01:10:47: <trinielf> awesome
01:10:49: <Maximine> lol
01:10:51: <JoannaBlue> Rad

01:12:30: <santino> 12Anything else I should go into?
01:12:40: <LoriNev> Just a note - your names for the stygian/community
series creep out just a wee bit. Black is my grandmother's last name. Kennedy
is my maiden. Jeremy is my first boyfriend. Lorelei is my nickname. Payne is
my uncle's last name and Six is my cousin's nickname. My family is nuts but
not that crazy. Should I send my family tree for names to avo
01:12:40: <LoriNev> id in the future? :)
01:12:43: <rafabrew> Oh! Do any of them actually use QF, and will there be
an online QF hookup? (like Fast Connection style?)
01:12:44: <SandyC4now> How is the thing going that you can't talk about? ;)
01:12:51: <StephCE> Pony better be on the strip club playlist!!
01:12:57: <matty> Do you have an inspiration board for Concourse?
01:13:00: <santino> 12>.> i stil lcan't talk about it, but it's something i'm
working on with Megan
01:13:02: <BarbFunes> YES PONY

01:13:10: <Maximine> im going to be so tired tomorrow! Almost midnight and

NYC last fall.
01:13:55: <Candie> do these chats usually happen on weds?
01:13:59: <StaceyB> After this chat ... I want all the books right now!!

01:14:03: <BarbFunes> It felt appropriate.

01:14:31: <santino> 12This board has inspiration for both books
01:14:32: <santino> 12https://www.pinterest.com/santinohassell/the-barons/
01:14:35: <NicoleLinSC> Where do you get inspiration for names?
01:14:43: <Brea25> ugh @StephCE now Pony is playing in my head
01:14:49: <santino> 12Er, I don't know honestly. I'm really bad at naming
people
01:14:55: <rafabrew> Do any of them hookup on QF?
01:14:55: <matty> I love your inspiration boards! I usually don't like when
authors change my image of characters, but yours are always close to what I
imagine!
01:14:57: <santino> 12I'm usually like "oh i like that name" for first names
01:14:58: <NicoleLinSC> Me too - why I asked lol
01:15:08: <rafabrew> Rafa! Rafa's a good name lol
01:15:14: <Ramen98> Just looked at that board.... Damn...
01:15:18: <santino> 12That's awesome, Matty. I once got yelled at for SB's
cover
01:15:23: <NicoleLinSC> Baby name books??
01:15:24: <santino> 12someone told me i was forcing them to imagine a
certain thing
01:15:26: <StephCE> Sorry...not sorry Brea lol
01:15:31: <rafabrew> Oh geezus I just loaded the pinterest board
01:15:38: <MeganGlider> I think you are good at names Santin
01:15:40: <Candie> thats sill your boards are amazing
01:15:40: <matty> haha I actually totally understand that
01:15:42: <MeganGlider> Santino
01:15:46: <MeganGlider> usually you know it when you see it
01:15:52: <matty> but I liked your cover! :)
01:16:00: <santino> 12Juan is perfect
01:16:10: <santino> 12So for the Barons board, the people further down on
the board are for Book 1
01:16:11: <SandyC4now> People are weird; they can take things so
personally.
01:16:14: <BarbFunes> yes, MM romance books much ONLY feature
headless torsos. ever.
01:16:18: <santino> 12Gavin is blond, Noah is geeky with glasses
01:16:27: <kim> I don't understand this person who doesn't like the SB
cover? Does not compute
01:16:36: <santino> 12ILLEGAL CONTACT is my first faceless cover! You
can see his stubbled jaw tho, which is hot
01:16:38: <rafabrew> Juan should team up with a makeup artist who can turn
him into anyone and anything so he can be on all your covers.
01:16:43: <Brea25> @BarbFunes and white ones at that
01:16:47: <santino> 12i agree rafa
01:16:48: <santino> 12juan forever
01:16:49: <BarbFunes> yep.
01:16:56: <MeganGlider> you guys will super love football. august needs to
get here NOW.
01:16:57: <rafabrew> Is Ashton really Juan?
01:16:58: <Maximine> Is Juan the model for IC cover?
01:17:02: <trinielf> lol rafa
01:17:04: <Candie> geeky with glasses is my favorite now I'm really going to
have to brush up on football stuff before the books come out
01:17:11: <santino> 12LOL no, no more juan
01:17:13: <StephCE> Did you send Juan copies of the books?
01:17:15: <santino> 12unless i do another rodriguez book
01:17:24: <rafabrew> I dunno... those brows though...
01:17:24: <Maximine> juan is sexy AF
01:17:25: <rafabrew> lol
01:17:28: <Maximine> seriously
01:17:31: <santino> 12I sent copies to the phogographer, although once
Juan DMd me for pics of the books
01:17:33: <Brea25> Juan has gotten rather... buff
01:17:48: <santino> 12But then he got a girlfriend and only posts pics of her
now. I was like FINE THEN JUAN
01:17:48: <BarbFunes> You might say he's Juan in a million...
01:17:53: <trinielf> LOL barb
01:17:56: <Ewaken> i never thought of juan being "forced" as an image for a
character, just his whole vibe seemed to fit that part of the series.
01:17:58: <santino> 12DONT POST MY BOOKS
01:17:59: <Maximine> ah ah ah
01:18:02: <layla> Did you have the picture of him first, gave it to the pub, and
they agreed to use it for the cover?
01:18:03: <matty> lol
01:18:05: <paola> Aww no more Juan ! I die for his face
01:18:06: <Brea25> Oh Barb
01:18:08: <santino> 12Yes, Layla
01:18:12: <rafabrew> I'm not digging the facial hair
01:18:13: <santino> 12DSP and Riptide were really accomodating
01:18:16: <Ramen98> LOL barb!
01:18:17: <StephCE> Agreed...getting a gf was rude (;
01:18:17: <BarbFunes> I'm a little drunk
01:18:20: <BarbFunes> sorry for the bad pun
01:18:26: <Ewaken> no you're not
01:18:26: <Maximine> my favourite is Interborough's cover
01:18:27: <layla> Cool, good to know. Thanks!
01:18:28: <rafabrew> Or the beefcakiness
01:18:29: <santino> 12His gf is beautiful, but so are those covers. Post
them!
01:18:35: <Maximine> so calm and composed
01:18:41: <Brea25> I adore the IB cover
01:18:42: <santino> 12#selfish
01:18:42: <BarbFunes> ewaken you're right. i'm not.
01:18:45: <rafabrew> Have his gf hold the books and post that
01:18:50: <santino> 12Good point
01:18:53: <trinielf> exactly rafa
01:18:59: <Maximine> oh that would be awesome!
01:19:03: <santino> 12He was so nice and cool with the queer
01:19:09: <santino> 12I always expect people to freak at the queer aspect
01:19:09: <rafabrew> <3
01:19:21: <santino> 12But he like Regrammed teasers and covers
01:19:31: <santino> 12MADE FOR ME
01:19:35: <Ewaken> need to do some ig stalking, apparently.
01:19:49: <Maximine> lol Santino
