Don’t miss the Holiday Event of the year at eHarlequin.com! 

Be sure to mark your calendars for December 16th, 2009 for the eighth annual Holiday Open House in our eHarlequin.com online Community.

We’ll be sharing virtual eggnog and holiday cheer with 22 hours of discussions in the forums, three hours of live chat, over 100 authors, fabulous door prizes and all your favorite romance categories represented, all to celebrate the best of the Holiday Season and give you a sneak peak into what to expect inside your books in 2010!

You’ll meet the authors you love, and a few we know you soon will—from warm-hearted and tender romances to the thrills and chills of the paranormal, they write the stories that keep you turning the pages and churning through that To-Be-Read pile. So make a date to join us as we share the joy of the season, make some new friends, catch up on forum gossip and get up-to-the-minute news about series, books and authors —you might even win a prize or two while getting to know us!

Oh. My. Goodness.

Where in the world are YOU? Here's your chance to put yourself on the eHarlequin.com Community map and show the world just how many of us book-loving, romance-reading, author-hugging members there really are!

Click HERE to go to our Google Maps page and from there follow these simple instructions to add your name and location to the Community Map.

First you'll need to sign in with a Google Account, then click on the Edit button.  In the top left-hand corner of the Google Maps page you'll find a little blue marker that looks like a balloon with a black dot in it. Click and drag that marker to your location on the world map.  Once you've dropped the marker, a small window will open (see right)  for you to add your profile information. Type your Community ID into the Title box, then switch the view to rich text and enter the following, just insert your community ID instead of mine...eg <Jayne's> profile at eHarlequin.com.  Link that line of text to your profile page at eHarlequin.com by inserting that URL with the 'link' icon (looks like a small chain) This is the same icon we use in our community to add links, so it should be familiar.

Once you've finished, click on OK to complete your entry.

Let's put ourselves on the MAP!

Author Michelle Willingham had a great suggestion for us to create a thread where authors could post their tour and book signing information.  That way our authors can post their travel dates and tip off community members as to what city they'll be in and when.

Whether you are using an old computer that you got from work, or a brand new PC that you bought for your birthday, there are some handy tips and advice that will help you get the most out of your browsing time on our community. 

Harlequin Blaze has been heating up women’s lives since it launched in 2001. Sexy and sensuous, red-hot and highly romantic, this series is known and loved for the variety of story lines it offers, its true-to-life characters and extremely talented author base. And of course, the fact that Harlequin Blaze always guarantees a high level of sensuality doesn’t hurt either.…

Harlequin Blaze is our spotlight series this month, which means that in addition to a wonderful lineup of reads, you'll find the authors of this month's books blogging in character, as their heroes, in an exclusive event we're calling My Favorite Hero.  You'll  meet undercover agent (and total hotness) Drew Miller and other featured fellows, in these fun, behind the scenes interviews.

It's the 7th Annual eHarlequin.com Community Open House!

Meet the authors you love, and a few we know you soon will──from warm-hearted and tender romance to the thrills and chills of suspense & adventure, they write the stories that keep you turning the pages and churning through that TBR pile. Share the joy of the season, make new friends, catch up on board gossip and get up-to-the-minute news about series, books and authors──you might even win a prize or two while getting to know us! 

Our message board discussions will be open for your comments throughout the day. Exchange greetings with authors and other readers, and enjoy the friends and relationships you've made over the course of the year in our community in these special threads. Connect with our special guests in 3 special LIVE CHAT sessions from 7-10pm ET later on in the evening in real time.

We're all readers and many of us are writers, but what else do we do?

I'm often astounded by the range of experience, education, and talent we have on the boards, not just in writing, but in a huge range of disciplines, professions, and arts/crafts/hobbies.
