I&#8217;ll tell you about one of them, and save the other for a week where I don&#8217;t read anything new. I read With the Band by L.A. Witt. I actually purchased this during the RT Conference earlier this month. I sat next to the author as we imbibed in some blackberry brandy. She started telling me about this book, and I whipped out my Kindle and bought it on the spot. That&#8217;s called &#8220;Bar Marketing.&#8221; Look it up. I just invented it. With the Band is about the lead singer and bass player in a rock band. Lots of tension in this one, including the fact that both heroes are still in the closet.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Hero Quote ~<\/span><\/strong> One of my unnamed pilot hero&#8217;s early lines:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll be in the air soon, and you can catch another power nap.&#8221; He grinned, showing off a set of straight white teeth. &#8220;That&#8217;s when I catch mine.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He&#8217;s joking!
