Aww the crap that makes the news. Pam's breasts, Britney gone Wild, incest church compounds and Prince Willy landing his helicopter in his on and off girlfriends back yard.

whaaaat? Incest church???

Acal - Texas authorities recently invaded a Mormon type church compound in which authorities alledge (it has not been proven)that some of the members of the compound were marrying 12 and 13 year olds. Some of these men were in their 50's and 60's. The authorities place over 300 kids in Child Protective Services (CPS) custody and are currently performing DNA testing to prove parentage, etc. Supposedly the reason for the raid was due to a phone call to 911 (emergency operator system here in the US) from one of the teenagers who said she was forced to marry and consumate her marriage to an older man in the compound. They have yet to find this young girl, or verify if the call came from the compound.

These people are living lifestyles from ancient times and their own choice. Due to someone else's either curiosity, Moral fiber, or misguided ignorance has disrupted the lives of these people. It goes back to an earlier discussion about pureblood, it's their belief that they marry and procreate through their own families. Regardless of whether it's legal or moral, outsiders have chosen to interfere. Due to fear of something that is unknown or something they don't understand.

Once again, mankind passes judgement.

Stauri - JMO - who thinks since the dawn of time people cover up their moral and immoral behavior and blame it on what the church says.

Texas law forbids marriage under the age of 16. Plain and simple that these people were disregarding the law, regardless of their own choice (and it's debatable whether these girls were choosing to do so). It's a shame that some will use the name of religion to inflict their own perversions onto others.

However, I think this topic is under the realm of "off limits" on this forum (too closely related to religion and politics) so lets get back to "The Rogue Hunter".

I am greatly looking forward to this book, not just for Mortimer's story, but also for any more clues as to forthcoming couples. We've got so many great characters to look forward to!

Yep. Didn't mean to start anything. Jut mentioning all the horrible and silly things in the news. Sorry ladies.

I know was trying not to go there sorry only trying to give Acal a brief synopsis, didn't mean to offend anyone or add my opinion.

Well all I have to say about this topic is.....


Rogue Hunter will be available in 5 months and 6 dys.

Wahoo!!!!!

(No offense taken, Stauri)

Hey, we need another countdown ticker!
Didn't someone make one up for TAV? Who was that? Then we'll have to keep bumping it to the top. Maybe we could start one at 3 months to go.

Ooo man.. thats just.. weird.. theres certainly some strange people in the world!

Sooooo long until it comes out!!

Not that long Acal. See the number is not even a double digits.

Denise, Cindy did the ticker but it is not available yet or I am sure she would put it out there. Trust me I have been annoying her about it as soon as we were told the date.

I just thought I lighten the atmosphere a little on this thread. Everyone is tooooooooo serious.

Know what the Monty Python boys always say "No one expects the Spanish Inquistion"

J4- "Always look on the bright side of life"

Denise.....it was Cindy....

C1 found that really cool one!!.....but we might want to wait untill a little closer, I thnk she posted the last one a month or so before the date!

G3 of the helpful AE4!!

Thank you sisters.

Usually the tickers are available when the books are 90 days away form being released.

I keep checking daily for the ticker.
As soon as it is out I will post it for those inquiring minds

Denise how were you able to make your font bold and large like that?

That was awesome!

C1 of the AE4 who wishes they would

Again I will direct you to the "Some HTML tags for you..." post. I've given some short "How to" instructions there.

thanks

So does anyone have any more conspiracy theories as to who this Sam is?

FYI - the cover of the Rogue Hunter is on Lynsay's Myspace page

uhhh.. it might grow on me but right now i'm not liking it, red seems to be a bad choice of colour

The entire myspace page has that same red background so it might just be from that. I'm guessing she really wouldn't have the people's skin be red, right?

I like the font they used for the title and the little moon and bat that the word Rogue is on top of. And the couple is very sexy.

Kimberly

Oh yes the cover is very ummm (for lack of a better word) yummy.

No the people aren't read you gotta put it over the pic, it removes the red shading, but the red is part of the cover, its the colour tone it like the aqua for Lucian's cover

Weird things going on with the forum. My post on here from last night disappeared, and one of the recents posts on another topic is out of sequence.

So, my post again. The reddish tones of the cover are in keeping with the last three covers that had color undertones (blue, gold, silver). I'm wondering what the next one will be... green? blue?

love the cover but my fav is still VAF/ABTR/V,I

Right now its my least favourite cover

I think the cover is very sexy! So far, I really like it.

wren

Not bad.

Ya know, since I'm reading the series again I've noticed something... I am going to love having an "Olive Oyle: or whatever" All the other women are freaking curvy and beautiful and heh. Or Tall. I am short and scrawny. HORRAY FOR SHORT AND SCRAWNY HEROINEs!! :) She's probably tall though. Oh well haha.

I seriously don't know why this need to post this came.

It just did.

Go shorties!

Shaa who is very tiny

Sorry guys I feel for you. But it is just as hard being the jolly green giant in the crowd too. (Tear, Tear)

But just so you know I support you - Go Shorties (and big tall cury women such as myself)

Just stoping in to say to eveyone...

anway, getting back to the thread...I love that they kept the cover of "ROGUE HUNTER"!
I have been gone a few days, so if its been out i am sorry but.....

Did anyone pick the design??? or haven't we heard yet!?


g3

Here's a sorta countdown for you lol I don't know exactly when it will be released but I'm going by what Amazon has which is usually a few days after right? September 30, 2008. Chose the black and roja for the cover colors

Hmmm...I have noticed the forum doing funny things like that also, Denise.

Denise is correct...the colours of the last three books did go blue, gold, silver(almost a "pearlescent" silver ~ and Marguerite's name means "pearl.")

If you go look at the covers of your books, you will see that the last three do have the people shaded in the colour of that book. It is not really so much an undertone like the earlier books, such as ABTR and BMIYC, as it is a slightly metallic overtone with Lynsay Sands in matching matallic letters at the top. Except for VI, which has Lynsay's name and the title in red, to offset the silver. Even the bit of Julius that you see behind Marguerite is in silver, although they did use a black background so it would show up better. The titles on TAV and VAF are both in white, since they are printed on the coloured part of the book on top of the people.

So, I do think the people will be "subtly red" and I do agree with Denise that we have a new cover art style going...and personally, I like it. We have had blue, so I'm going to guess green for the next book, Denise...or maybe pink or purple or a dark blue instead of teal...depends on who the book is about, I suppose.

The books have an even classier look now, and even if reprints don't have the foil font and metallic colours, they should still be very pretty. I certainly hope that Avon will continue to publish the reprints in this new style, instead of going to the flat colours and leaving off the foil fonts. Look on back of the books, and you will see a small picture of what it would look like without the metallic overtone...so I think the books will stay looking nice either way.

Does anyone else think there might be a similarity in the picture of Thomas and the picture of Mortimer...same model, perhaps? I can't tell if the female models are the same. I keep picturing Sam as blonde(the name makes me think of Elizabeth Montgomery in Bewitched one of my all-time faves, btw) but I think she will be brunette. Especially as she is thin and reminds Mortimer of Olyve Oyl. Mortimer is blonde, right? You can't go by the cover models, because they often don't match the description of the character in the book.

And, as Kim and Jill put it so well, the couple is SEXY and the cover is...one of my favorite ways to express it...YUMMY!

wren who is ready for autumn reading NOW!!

Wren I don't think the guy on the cover looks like the guy on the cover of VAF. The guy on the cover of VAF most definitely is what I pictured Thomas to look like though, which just made him even more sexy.

Yes Mortimer is blonde and like you, I can't wait until this fall and be able to curl up with Mortimer...oh I mean Mortimer's book.

As for Sam, I think she may be a brunette or may have raven colored hair. I was thinking "my sister sam" instead of "Bewitched" Samantha.

Well according to the cover she's going to have dark hair, and btw how do you girls know that Mortimer's lifemate is going to be Sam?

Yes, maybe so, but Mortimer is a blonde and that guy on the cover isn't. Inez was also dark headed and had wild curly hair, the model on the cover of VAF looked nothing like her.

Lynsay had said in one of the entries that although she describes the characters in the book, it's up to the publisher to decide what they put on the cover, or who models for the cover.

Sam was mentioned in one of the posts somewhere, I'll have to find it. It was in an interview Lynsay gave in 2006, talking about the 3 book release and working on the first enforcer book (Mortimer). She talks about his lifemate being named Sam and that she is a Olive Oyl type (tall, lanky, awkward looking). I'll see if I can find it.

Ok Acal, I found it.

*****************************************************

Apr 15, 08 - 7:07 PM Look what I found! A small *spoiler* for Mortimer's story!

Just out of idle curiosity I did a search using the words "Lynsay Sands message board" to see if there were any other fans out there talking about the Argeneaus.

And I found this board where Lynsay posted a message in which she says the heroine of Mortimer's story is called Sam and describes her as overly thin like Olive Oyl. See for yourself:

Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2007 12:50 am

Unless I spefically state they're thin like in the Vamp I finished before this. The heroine Sam is thin, but overly so. In fact the hero, Mortimer, thinks of her as Olive Oyl at first until he starts to fall in love and sees her beauty. (grin)

lol - we must have found it at the same time.

You know what they say about "Great minds..."

I don't know...that Mortimer model looks like the Thomas model, just from a different angle. And with the red it makes it harder to judge...but if it is him...ooh la la...yummy

I liked him the first time he modeled! He made Thomas step right off the pages, which doesn't happen that often with the cover art. He can be all of the young male immortals on the covers if he wants!

wrenwho thinks The Rogue Hunter cover is HOT!

Oh I know, I wanted to yank the female model off the cover and step right in her place. I agree that is the first cover model that looks like the character just stepped off the pages.

All the covers so far have been yummy. Still get chills over the VI cover with the male cover model bending towards her neck. Ok now I have goose bumps.

Hmmm...I wouldn't mind having me a plate of Argeneau - first on the menu Lucern then we will see whose is the next course

Thanks Stauri, now I remember!

Hmm it looks to me though that he has blonde hair on the cover

Oh yea, VI one of my favs, but AV...still has the yummiest looking piece of male I have seen in a long time....

BTW...how long did it take fr you to notice there is a girl on that cover as well!!!
For Me....I only just realised it about a day or so ago when i went to reread it...

Ok now I had to go back and look at that cover. I'm so busy reading I never pay attention to the background, just the foreground. Thanks Gena.
