Dear Ms. Krentz: My favorite thing about your books is the interaction of your main characters and your dry wit that seeps through the dialogue. ”Canyons of the Night” is set in the same world as the Jayne Castle series that involves glowing green alien artifacts, rezzed amber, and dust bunnies. The idea behind this(…)

Note: I know this is a bit long, but it’s already a drastically shortened version of this argument. Consent at your own risk. When I first started reading Romance, I was stunned by the genre's apparent comfort with sexual force against female characters and uncomfortable with both the contention that it's pure fantasy and therefore(…)

Dear Ms. Krentz: This book was published in 1989 but I don’t think I read it until the early 1990s. My copy was used and I recall that I had purchased it used in its original Harlequin Temptation iteration. Since that time, it has been re-released by Harlequin at least twice more. I anxiously await(…)

Dear Ms. Krentz: I’ve read many of your out of print Harlequin Temptations (it was one of my favorite Harlequin lines). Lady’s Choice with featuring a barista who secretly wanted to be selling tea was probably my favorite although I’ve re-read The Wedding Night wherein the heroine, Angie, finds out too late that her husband(…)

Dear Ms. Castle: >I haven’t read all your Harmony stories but I admit to enjoying them quite a bit even though, at times, I have felt like they were futuristic lite. Maybe I was just in a good mood when I read this one, but the story worked for me this time. Sierra McIntyre, daughter(…)

Dear Ms. Krentz: As stated by you, White Lies represents a move toward the consolidation of your books under one name. Previously your futuristic novels were published under the nom de plume, Jayne Castle. The Arcane Society, an alternate reality world inhabited by people with psychic abilities, was originally introduced in historicals written by you(…)

Over at Running With Quills, Jayne Ann Krentz announced that she will be introducing a new series that is supposedly to bridge the gap between Krentz and Quick books. Her new series will be focused around the Arcane Society. This makes me sad as I liked the separate identities. I liked that JAK wrote contemporaries(…)
