At BEA, there are usually androgynous angels, naughty candies, and adult playing cards at the Ellora's Cave booth, along with erotic romance authors and the books they're signing. This year I decided I was going to walk to the booth instead of walking past it over and over again. My friend Yvette agreed to help me, strange man with a video camera, avoid the creep factor and while she tried to score a few book for herself.

Ellora's Cave didn't have an RV this year (What happens in the RV??), but we weren't disappointed. We were lucky enough to meet author M.A. Ellis. She was hilarious. When she signed a copy of Love's Choice for me, I had to read it. It was a great book--I'd recommend to anyone who lusts for Matthew McConaughey. And yes, it was very, very steamy. I stored my copy on the top shelf and read it when my 7-year-old daughter's prying eyes weren't present.

Here's a video snippet of our slightly naughty and suggestive conversation. Find out more about M.A.'s work at her website.
