BLOG TO READ! Jackie Kessler - Harlequin Horizons VS RWA

Posted by Robin Thursday, November 19, 2009

Well, I was thinking of going over to Harlequin and to try and start my career. However, Harlequin is no longer a recognized publisher according to Romance Writers Of America, the largest romance writer's organization I know of. I just joined about a week ago, and now this. So, I'm off to find a publisher who is keen on taking unsolicited/un-agented me. This is a fantastic blog that explains everything, almost line by line. So, if you've heard about the uproar from Ann Aguirre, Nora Roberts, and twitter, this is what is going on.Jackie Kessler - Harlequin Horizons VS RWA

What this is all about

The insanity began when my friend and author Shannon Delany told me to put on my big girl panties and share my work with others. She is an advocate of textnovel.com, a serialized novel website that opened doors for her and her series 13 To Life, which was picked up by St. Martin's Press and will be in the bookstores June 2010.

So on went the panties. I entered the Dorchester Next Best Celler contest via textnovel, and here I am, glued to my computer and typing away at a variety of works-in-progress.

Fae Nights

Eve Stryker is having a bad night. Actually, her life hasn't exactly been easy, but growing up as the love child of an Fae Princess and a mundane man she has never met taught her to cope. Just when she thinks life can't get any worse than standing on a corner with her life stuffed into two trash bags, here comes trouble. Val--tall, glowing, hair-that-is-only-in-shampoo-commercials Val--has come to save her, or so he says. One can never trust a Fae, especially when he claims he's from the Seelie Court. With the current Fae Queen certifiable and the Unseelie King believing Eve is the key to conquering both courts, Val promises to be the easiest problem she has to deal with. If he doesn't kill her first.

Hunter's Moon

Werewolf. The word whispered through the streets that ran with blood. Death stalked the inhabitants of the provincial French town, leaving behind a trail of fear and victims. Sabrina had faced the Loup-garou, and now vowed revenge for the loss of her only loved one. Lucan suffered the curse given to him by his brother. Pledging to never succumb to the beast the moon brought out of him, he is voluntary prisoner of a group of monks who train to fight the supernatural beings. Sabrina comes to Lucan as his destroyer. She does not want to see him as a noble man who fights evil, as a human man who can tear through her wall and make her feel again. She vowed revenge, and Lucan is the key for her satisfaction. Lucan will die, but only after Sabrina destroys his brother first.

Fever

A western historical romance that takes place in the late 19th century. Jessie has returned home from nursing school quite ill, but it isn't her fevered dreams that conjure up Morgan Ryland. He is as real and hard as a male can be, and he is on a mission. Morgan is fulfilling the dying request of his best friend and mentor Conrad: to find the son he never met. Morgan never bargained for Jessie, but a promise is a promise, and he was a man of his word. He isn't the only one looking for Conrad's child. Though Morgan is determined to deliver Jessie to her father's hands, someone out there is aiming to see her handed over to her father in a casket.

Immortal Love

Cursed. Desolate and unforgiving, Justin lived in his own darkness, satisfied to let the world rot away around him. Satisfied to be living death. Until he meets the genealogist who is determined to break through all of the secrets he has kept guard over. His satisfaction no longer is defined by not letting her in, but by being in her. Lily is drawn to the old house. History was her passion, and the seventeenth century manor house was brimming with it. Searching for answers was her job, and the handsome, gloomy owner of the estate had the answers she needed. Mixing her business with pleasure isn‘t how she usually works, but Justin stokes a need in her that neither of them can deny. Finding comfort in misery, Justin tries to keep her out of his life, because if she makes it in, it will be the death of him
