Jayne and I have been working hard this week to ensure that the editor pitches continue to thrive in this community and we've even raised the stakes for all of you looking to join in. Starting in January, we're going to have online workshops to help you hone your pitch, with Winnie Griggs, a Steeple Hill author who has a SRO workshop at RWA on pitching.

We'd like to invite you to join us in a game of Nocturnal Thrills!

There's an innocent Reader struggling under the Hangman's noose, and it's up to you to save them.

We're playing eHarlequin Hangman ~ Nocturne Style!

Join us every day, starting Monday October 26th, until all Hallow's Eve, October 31st.  When you solve the puzzle you'll be rewarded for saving our Reader.  But beware, there are many innocent Readers to save and we need your expertise to spare them all!

We have something exciting brewing, and if you are a Blaze reader (and even if you're not) you'll want to join in!

I put up an annual blog post here at eHarlequin where we post 12 books we’re planning to read during the year. I have to admit that my reasons for doing the blog post are partially selfish. Readers at eHQ are so widely read and so knowledgeable about the next great book that I scour the responses for recommendations. Sometimes we come back and post our impressions of the books in that thread, but it’s mostly a great way to find books people are anticipating.

So now I’m approaching the question from the other side: What’s the best book you’ve read this year? (Or any time recently. Don’t feel you need to confine yourself to one calendar year!) Doesn’t have to be romance. Doesn’t have to be anything except a really great read you want to share with us!

It's the end of October!!  My November SuperRomance, UNEXPECTED GIFTS, has been available here

 FF, big congrats!  Email me at christine@christinerimmer.com.  Everyone, thank you so much.  You've given me a lot to work with and ponder. 

Jodie I am so excited that you are the newest Member of the Month. I haven't been following the blogs too closely lately but you always have insightful comments and interesting questions. I just know that someday I will be reading a book or two that you have written. Now the question is are you ready for the calendar picture?

I’ve heard a lot of people, readers and writers, laugh at the idea of a contemporary romance with a virginal heroine. I discussed the issue in the Dear Reader letter for my newest book:

One of the very best perks of being a Harlequin author is that whenever I have a book released, Harlequin sends me boxes of free books to use for giveaways and as review copies, etc.. Granted, the books are all the same...but for a dyed-in-the-wool book lover, there's nothing like opening up those boxes and seeing all the fresh, lovely books! I look forward to this delivery like a seven-year-old kid looks forward to Santa.

You all understand that, right?

So here's what happened this weekend.

Here are the winners: moonwitch66, tim455 (Tammy), nicolerko, and christa_r.  Please contact me at susan@susancrosby.com to claim your copy of CHRISTMAS PRESENCE.  I hope it helps to get you in the holiday spirit!
