As someone noted, we do a lot, and we didn't want it to be an overwhelming mass of information, even though it meant leaving things out. Thank you to everyone for filling in some of the blanks--often in a much more meaningful and relevant manner, as it's from the author or reader's perspective.

But neither were Harlequin Romance, Medical or Modern Heat (Modern Heat is the old Temptation and being released in the US as part of the Promotional Presents) -- all edited out of London. HH does not have any major continuity series happening at the moment. BUT Harlequin Historicals is very much alive. I know from the Association of Mills and Boon Authors lunch last month, HH has done very well in the ebook format. They continue to have their committment towards Unusual Historicals including the Roman period, Westerns and Georgian/Regency/Victorian. The editors are still very much looking for strong romances set in those periods. Several new authors are appearing including Kathryn Allbright in December with The Angel and The Outlaw. Oh and I am have my first Victorian Harlequin Historical coming out in December --A Christmas Wedding Wager. BTW, Mills and Boon will be celebrating its 100th birthday next year. Lots of things are planned. Sorry to be late coming in on this... Michelle I am not sure why Harlequin Historicals was not mentioned.

I love Harlequin. I'm not the type who hides it either. So many of my fellow harlequin lovers tend to apologise when they say they like it. Why? I'm not ashamed of liking their books.

Fun because along with an excellent eye for detail, my editors also have a wonderful sense of humor. When I signed I kind of thought my editors might be inaccessible. As you can see Harlequin is BIG, and I worried as a newbie author, I'd be lost in the numbers, but I can't say I've ever had to wait to have a question answered and discussion on story points is always encouraged. So, I'm happy. *G* Writng for the two mainstream imprints of Harelquin’s (HQN and SPICE) I do have to say the whole editing process from an author’s perspective has been impressive, professional, and fun.

And is it just me, or are there a lot of authors who leave Harlequin for a few years, then come back? I'd love hear the stories behind some of the bigger names.

So, technically, kind of Mills & Boon books, although still Harlequin. It's very confusing. But they're still very much alive.
