Harlequin did this for a while when they republished print titles (changing albumn to CD and then to MP3 for example). If you change that one element is has a domino effect IMO. I want the original book, just in digital. Quote:
She has a lot of humor in her books. And though some of her books are technically murder mysteries, they are more Murder, She Wrote/British drawing room detective type stories in that the murders happen off page, no really gory scenes, etc (if that makes any sense). But as I said she's written in a wide variety of subgenres over her long career. |

I'm in for the Grace Burrowes book, she's an autobuy for me. I started the Psy-Changeling series, too. I'm so tired of poorly written and edited books that I'm going back to the major publishers for awhile. I was trying to read the Kandesky Vampire bundle and it's the first DNF I've had in a long time. The first book was meh, unevenly paced and needing a good editor. I started the second book and the lack of continuity from the first made me stop reading. At least Nalini Singh is a good writer and her books are well edited.

Last year I read Nora Robert's first two book set in the Night series and even though it took place in the 80s I still enjoyed all the wacky fashions and no technology. I also love Sandra Brown's old books. I think these authors are trying to appeal to a newer generation and in doing so they could possibly ruin a good book. |

Total bummer. I really want the Kell Sabin books she did for Silhouette Intimate Moments, but not if they've been updated.
She used to be an auto-buy author for me but I gave her up after years of subpar books. Still love many of her old-school romances though. |

And don't forget your cowboys as well. All are not quite Alpha's but have that charm and pragmatic attitude. You have been making me try and figure out another author that wrote westerns all day. Jude Deveraux's had some in her Montgomery/Taggert series, Johanna Lindsey, and I want to say the author I can't name was named Gwendlyne something. I am pictureing a cover with a cowboy boot on it. Man, I have to go back under the bed again.

I have most all of her older books as print books and I keep buying the new ones in hopes that they will be as good as the old ones, but still, why are they doing this? |

Ok, I have come out from under the bed again, and found some lovely old Zebra westerns by Carol Finch. Then I found some Patricia Potter's , and some old Lorranie Heath's. After seeing the title, I remember fondly of The Scotsman Wore Spurs by Patricia Potter. Also that Carol liked to have a scene where the hero or the heroine was rip roarin' drunk. I will look at the rest of my books tomorrow, since it is dark outside right now. Maybe then I will find that author's name. Or, maybe I am dreamin'. Good Night Ladies, or Good Morning as the case may be.
