Anouncement: THE BEEFCAKE PREVIEW CLUB opening

I know I have been teasing a bit this last week but the day has finally arrived that I can dish out my plan. Sometimes, on the weirdest occasions I get ideas, sometimes under the shower with no pen and paper in sight. Sometimes when walking the dogs and believe me when I say they proved their love for their boss lady as I rambled on and on and on about possibilities of what might be fun. And then there are those times you partake in a discussion and a light bulb moment occurs. It is on such an occasion, I was panting over the Lords Of The Underworld with Barbara {Happily Forever After} and VampFanGirl (Lovin' Me Some Romance} that an idea struck me. Or better said, a title struck me; THE BEEFCAKE PREVIEW CLUB, where we can preview a taste of upcoming vamps, werewolves, navy seals, dukes, highlanders and just about every hero known to us avid readers. It is an evening filled with cocktails which are served by Tristan and his friends, where we can discuss the upcoming book and the hero who is willing to walk in a club full of lusting ladies. Yes, some are just that courageous and willing.

So with this idea in my head I pondered on it for a few days and that’s when I met Tristan. Ffeeww, now he got my blood pumping and as it turned out he had some ideas of his own which merged with mine flawlessly. He wanted a cocktail bar and I wanted a space where I could invite you all for some hunk and book conversations. Hallelujah my prayers were answered, Tristan and I combined forces and the BEEFCAKE PREVIEW CLUB found a home.

The plan:

My idea first and foremost is to have fun with all the visitors of my blog, I feel very much like a wicked witch saying: “Come over to the lustful and sinner’s side, I have men and cocktails waiting gna gna gna.” I love to buzz about upcoming books, events, talk about the series or the authors releases and with this Club I would like to create a specific time and date to do this. The BEEFCAKE PREVIEW CLUB is open on every first Monday of every month and the agenda of Beefcake men will be announced on the Club’s agenda in my sidebar as soon as the date is confirmed.

The Beefcake men:

I like to invite as many diverse men as I can to keep everybody satisfied and I will always be open for suggestions from the members. Or if there are men lurking on my blog who want to be featured in the Club, please let your author minion click on the contact button underneath my blog header to get in touch with me.

The Giveaway:

Yes I have become addicted to give away! To pay my love for the romance and its sub genres forward in giving one lucky gal a copy of the book from the Beefcake who is featured that night. I know I am probably a witch right now but this is for members of the Club only, as in, follow my blog (feature at the bottom of my blog) and get to the goods ;D A copy will be pre-ordered and hopefully arrive on release day! This giveaway is standard issue at the Club but sometimes extra prizes will be available.

PR:

My creativity has flowed again and I created two buttons/banners/avatars for you to use on your blog to spread the word of the BEEFCAKE PREVIEW CLUB. In no way a must but the more the merrier I always say!

Each month I will create a new banner for the next months BEEFCAKE and you can freely use it. Also I created a banner which is for members only; if you want to display your wicked side for all to see and you are a frequent member of the Club, I say banner up. If you want your name and club-number, please give me an e-mail and I’ll personalize the member banner for you.

Now back to the good stuff. The Grand Opening will be in honor of VampFangirl, Barbara and Pearl {Pearl's World Of Books}, because she is a glommer of Gena Showalter’s books ;D On August 3rd 2009 Sabin, the next Lord Of The Underworld will kick off the monthly BEEFCAKE PREVIEW night. The giveaway will be:

Tristan hasn’t forgotten about you all and until then has a few friends he wants you all to meet. Each week, until opening night, he will introduce a friend and girls…I saw man-candy, on a bike, with tats *tongue lolling out of mouth* He will be up next week says Tristan.

Also, if you have reviews of the novels considering the series of the Beefcake featured, send me an e-mail me with the url and I can create a link within the blog post to hear as many voices as possible!

If you have questions, fire away and I'll answer them as soon as possible. I hope we are all going to have a blast together and I can’t wait for opening night!
