Silhouette Romantic Suspense

Hi Jeanette.  I'm still trying to figure out how this new format works.  Is there any way to make the type darker?  This light blue everywhere is hard to read.

Hi Gail,

Unfortunately, this color font has been set as the default.  I will be sure to share your comments and we may have the option to change the font color in the future.

Have a great weekend! 

Gail, you're definitely not the only one.  It was my first impression as well.  Now I have gotten used to it.  If you can believe it, there was something to do with the back-end code that affected the font color. 

We did have the option to change it when the new design launched but, it had to be removed as it caused some weird things to happen to the text.  I know there looking into it and I am hoping it gets changed soon too.  I will keep you posted.

If you're interested, we're having a Silhouette Nocturne live chat this evening at 8pm EST.  You can click on the link below to join the chat:

I hope to see you there!

I really enjoy this line ... I started my somewhat adult reading career with mainly mystery / thriller / suspense and some romance (Agatha Christie / Alistair MacLean / Robert Ludlum / Mary Stewart) primarily, so the Sihouette Romantic Suspense stories are right up my alley!
  I think this will be a great forum. 

Thank you for the link Jeanette.  I've heard others mention online reads, but I've never found any before ~ of course it would probably help if I looked. 

Hiya Kathy!

 Funny you should ask about more Medusa books...the two that SRS published have done well enough that I've been allowed to do more Medusa stories! The 6th original Medusa, Kat, is finally going to get her book. The proposal was approved earlier this week, in fact. I'll write it this spring, and then it'll be up to the slotting gods to determine when it'll hit the shelves. But it's on the way. And...I've got a couple more Medusa stories up my sleeve, too. The snake ladies definitely live on!

Thanks for asking...and now back to work on the 2nd H.O.T. Watch book...

Cindy

No problem, Kalyko!  If you're every looking for something, just let me know.  I am happy to help.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Great to hear that there will be new Medusa books.  Glad that all of the original snake ladies will get their own books.  Looking forward to the new series also.

Congrats on the cover!  Red sounds lucky -- it will stand out!  I'm surprised that you just got the April cover, though.  I have a May book and was hoping to have my cover soon......

OK I'm leaving to go look at the cover. Catch ya'll later.

she does look like Ali Larter.

Kathy

That is a very eye-catching cover, Cindy!  I am looking forward to checking out The Dark Side of NIght at eHarlequin.com on March 1st.   I also had a peek at your website and it looks great.  Please let us know when the new site launches.

I found the cover at Amazon and it is hot.  I am lucky in that I get the books in late February as I get them through reader services. 

The covers have been very good on this line and the Intrigue is getting better covers. 

Did I kill the discussion?  

How is everyone?  Did you get a chance to check out the March new releases? 

Hi everyone! My first time here so not sure how this works yet. Merline Lovelace has been a favorite author for years and I've been following her code  name: danger series through several lines of books! I think they were IM, Desire, and now these. I also enjoyed her 2 stories in the Harlequin Next line and am bummed that line discontinued. I hope Crash from those 2 stories gets his own in this line with the Code Name: Danger series! I wanted to email her and ask but couldn't figure out how :-(

Which other authors are good in this line? Any good series like code name : danger to look for?

thanks Kathy! I think I've seen the name Cindy Dees and might have one of her books in my huge-mongous TBR pile...I'll check her out. They sound like books I'd enjoy.

yes, I think the Codename Danger series started in the 90's.I read them around fall of '98.I remember my grandma was in the hospital and I stopped at ubs that has since closed and the lady there recommended several books that I bought and read while waiting for the worst..these 4 titles and a trade size book with 2 of Linda Howard's mackenzie stories: mountain and mission. So all 6 of thse stories have been special since then.

This afternoon I went through my shelves and found the other 4 that fell in between those first 4 and these last 2 I've read. I think I know why I dont' remember them! One deals with a man who was frozen and another with some sorta biological weapon..those subjects I know for sure didn't inteest me when they came out! But I want to read them again!

I think you can read them alone but other character are mentioned and you're probably gonna be curious about 'their story'.I'm wanting Mike and Jilly's story and hoping Crash from the N ext line will get one too...ones story is in the desire line though - devlin and the dep blue sea and in that one I rememberAdam and Maggie show up and they're from the 1st 4 books with their own story in the 4th I believe. I think I'm still missing a bookb ecause It hink someone named 'cyrene' was mentioned but it mght be the first 'romantic suspense' title and I might have it too. I always buy her titles but I don't always go through the books...

Howdy gang!

 Just thought I'd give you a head's up that I've written a daily online read for eHarlequin that will go live in March...it sets up my new H.O.T. Watch series and was a BLAST to write!

And I thought telling a great romantic suspense story was a challenge in a 55-60K word SRS...hah! It was another game altogether to do it in 10,000 words...evenly spaced across 20 installments. Whew.

I have to confess, though. After writing the online read, I've loved writing the current H.O.T. Watch book for SRS. I have so much room to play with!

(By the way, the hero of my current WIP is Major John Hollister, Brian Riley's commander from THE MEDUSA SEDUCTION...)

At any rate, for any of you who'd like an early peek at the H.O.T. Watch, this'll give you a taste of its very beginning. I believe the series starts Monday, March 3rd and has a new installment every weekday in March. Should be a fun ride.

And now back to yet another insane deadline...

Best,

Cindy

Cindy

I'm sure I don't have to tell you I'm looking forward to the online read.

Howdy you two,

 Best of luck with your family endeavors, Jennette. I sure understand how time with family can be tough to come by... and...

Congrats Wayne! <waving wildly> Couldn't think of a better new host for us than you! I shall surely try not to be a stranger as you embark on attempting to herd the cats around here! If nothing else, I'll look forward to adding to the happy chaos...

Best to both of you,

Cindy

Hey! It'll be good to see you more often.  I've been so bad at bopping over to your other forums!

I should have said, "You, Bronwyn and I." Don't want people to get the wrong impression. :-)

Penn!  Where have you been hiding!?  Good to "see" you here again.

Wayne- great to have you hosting.  We'll try not to make your job too hard!

Looks like I need to check this thread more often. It has been busy!
