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.

Last year, my friend, Diana Holquist, posted a reading challenge on her blog. I stole her idea and we had quite a fun time here on eHarlequin posting our reading lists. I thought we might as well try it again this year, especially since I found some great books and new authors by reading the lists other folks posted!

These are the Quiet Canadian's new Book Review Ratings. The changes are minor, but hopefully a little clearer for both the reviewer and the reader of the reviews.

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!

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!

 

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

Whew, I did make it!  It's always a bit confusing, what with the time difference and all!  So this being my first official post on the Desire blog, I thought I'd wax lyrical about firsts, if y'all don't mind.  So here we go.

 

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!

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