African-American women are the fastest growing population being diagnosed with HIV and/or AIDS. In this season of giving, six award-winning authors have teamed with Red Rose Publishing to donate all proceeds from the anthology Destination Romance to the South Side Help Center, an HIV/AIDS prevention intervention and education program for African American women in Chicago, because, after all, sometimes it is better to give
than receive.
Every penny (minus printing cost and distribution) is being donated to the South Side Help Center. We may not be able to save the world, but it feels good to know our love of reading and writing may be able to save one of our sisters, mothers, aunts, nieces, daughters, friends.
We can not do this alone. We need your support in buying this book and telling all of your friends about Destination Romance, a Series and Anthology that will have you wanting to make waves in the sea of Love!
Destination Romance: While on a cruise to Jamaica, six couples discover the “Love Boat” is a lot more than a television series from the 1980s, and this time the destination is hot, steamy romance.
Destination Romance has been released in two formats. For those of you who like eBooks, each story has been released for only $2.99 through Red Rose Publishing. Since there are no printing or distribution cost, every penny goes to the South Side Help Center. For those of you who haven’t tried an eBook before, this is an excellent way to try one out.
For those of you who love the feel of a paper read in your hands, the print version Destination Romance contains all six titles for only $11.99. With six award winning authors, there’s something for everyone and you are helping a great cause.
All proceeds, minus printing and distribution cost, go directly to the South Side Help Center.
Thank you for your support.
Six Awesome Titles (Destination Romance)
As a Whisper by AlTonya Washington
Izaya Charles was devastated when GuntherDatari ended their passionate and lengthy relationship. Work keeps her going until she and Gunther meet aboard the newest ship in his fleet. Will desire or devastation be the
outcome of their reunion?
Show Me! by Barbara Keaton
Cammie's life would never be the same following a chance meeting (or so she thought) with Jacques, a man many years her junior who would grant her unselfish, unbridled passion!
Trapped In Paradise by Deatri King-Bey
After escaping an abusive marriage, Saundra Write swore never to allow anyone to trap her again. Then comes along Jeremy King, the kind of man any woman would beg to be trapped in paradise with.
Seaside Seduction by A.C. Arthur
Mac should be the last person to teach his best friend to love and trust when he’s been lying to her for years. And now that his game is up, he can only hope the beautiful Caribbean days and sensual seaside nights will be enough to make CJ dismiss the mistakes of the past to sail towards a brighter future?
On My Knees by Dyanne Davis
Carmen placed everything before love until love was nothing more than the stories told in romance novels. Aaron is an accomplished romance author, but wants the real thing. A cruise brings the two together. Renewed love, with a healthy dose of lust, works to keep them together.
More and More by Niobia Bryant
Mocha Nivens enjoys the casual nature of her long-term, long-distance relationship with businessman Dean Kincaid, but she ends it when he moves back to town wanting more. When Dean dates other women, Mocha realizes what she’s lost, but is it to late to claim the love she deserves?
I received what I hope is the LAST nasty gram from the cruise line today. As promised, they are going to cancel the cabins where the deposit of $200 per person has not been paid. The rooms will be removed on 20 Dec. Sooooo, if you still want to squeeze in there befoe they cancel your reservation, call them up and go for it.
Onto Destination Romance. This is our charity event this year. Please help support this wonderful cause by purchasing the anthology and spreading the word. I'm about to send the Announcement in a separate email to make it easy to forward.
Please spread the word.

Today is the last day of the extended time the cruise gave everyone to pay the remainder of their deposit. I don't know who is behind and who has paid, so I have to harass everyone. I'm sorry, this is the last email about this topic.
Please take a few seconds to ensure your deposit of $200 per person per room has been made or the cruise line will be cancelling your room. If you or your cabin mate still intends on attending, but just can't finish paying his/her $200 deposit at this time, please remove them or yourself from the cabin and then rejoin the cabin once the $200 can be paid. That way the cruise line will not cancel the cabin. If you or your cabin mate has decided not to go and one of you needs a cabin mate, please contact the cruise line and remove the one from the cabin who is not going, then contact me at deatri@... and I'll help find another cabin mate.

Hello All,
Each year the Romance Slam Jam tries to support a non-profit organization. For the 2010 conference, instead of doing the usual raffle, we worked with Red Rose Publishing and several fantastic authors to release an anthology where all proceeds will go to the charity.
African American women are the fasting growing population being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. With that in mind, proceeds from the sale of the Destination Romance e-book Series and anthology go to theSouth Side Help Center, an HIV/AIDS prevention intervention and education program for African American women in Chicago.

We have someone who needs a cabin mate. Please contact me at
deatri@... if you are also in need of a cabin mate.
I received another “nasty gram” from the cruise line, saying
89 cabins have not paid their $200 per person per cabin deposit fee. They have
extended the date until 30 November. After 30 November they will begin
cancelling those cabins that have not paid the full deposit.
Please do not assume your cabin mate has paid his/her
deposit. Ask them. Or if you are too shy to ask them, call the cruise line and ask. The cruise line sent me a print out that
shows quite a few of the 89 rooms where one or two of the cabin mates have paid
his/her deposit, but the last cabin mate is short. Please note, the entire
cabin will be cancelled if the deposit of $200 per room per person is not
completed by 30 November.
If the behind cabin mate is planning on going and
just doesn’t have the fee this month, then remove that cabin mate from the room
until they have the deposit. Please do not leave your cabin mates hanging.
That’s it for now.
Peace
Deatri King-Bey
