Daisy.........look at the top. See the little blue tab that says 'ebooks'?
Click on that. Then you want to choose the appropriate format for your reader, then you can choose by genre.

You can look by author, or Title.

I'm thinking we should make that "little blue tab" a "big red blinking tab". Maybe more people will notice it then...

Ooh two more days. I wonder which books they are, and what format they are in. I think Harlequin and Sony are going to do lots of promos in the next few months.

They have to be. Nice find! So it looks like we didn't have to sign up with HQN, they'll be available on the ebookstore.

Weee I'm so excited!

In case anyone is interested, author submissions to Harlequin are a quick way to make some easy $$$. In fact, as a senior and grad, my profs suggested it to the class as a way to supplement income. Harlequin's website has the details. You follow the formula of plucky girl meets annoying guy, they work together to overcome an obstacle, fine line between love and hate, happily ever after. I think it pays about $3000 (or $300) per accepted manuscript. You can knock out a book in a weekend.

Great find! I've read 3 of those books and they were really good (the Harlequin Present, Silhouette Desire, and Brenda Jackson book).

I was looking at that a few weeks ago. I had trouble coming up with a decent plot though.

It's more about location and dialogue than it is about plot. Give it a try!

Plot, what plot? Just add in some formulaic stiff in between the sex and there you go. Take a look at your average porno. You'll see the plot is there just to advance the sex. In this case, as long as the sex scenes are good, the plot is secondary.

I'm sorry, but I actually do find this insulting. Please, if you don't have anything nice to say in this thread, don't say anything at all.

The basic Harlequin romance line is not sexually explicit. They have different branches for the racier stories. For the basic Harlequin line, it's more about seething desire and romance.

I'm gonna shut up now. I know way too much about this, seeing as how I'm not a romance fan.
