The Vacation (HA!) Edition
Okay, I'm currently in Dallas, spending pre-conference time with the parental units (and my small child units) as well. Not a vacation by ANY stretch of the imagination. However, in the midst of this tranquil and serene (NOT!) milieux, I've been adjusting to the news that Harlequin has discontinued the Temptation (MY) line. I love Temptation. It's fun, it's sexy, it's....sassy (okay, I hate that word, but it really fits the line, so I'll suck it up). Anyway, I HATE that they are discontinuing the line. So....because I make my career as a writer, I'm now on the quest for a new line.
Quest for a Line: Day 1
Read 1.2 Silhouette Desires. Desires is sorta the kissing cousin to Temptation. Blaze is sorta the boinking cousin to Temptation. So, as much as my people boink, I think I'm going to start with the Desires. The first one was fun and escapeful (is that a word? Probably not, but it should be). Lots of pink. No heavy sex, but some steam and one or two good squirm moments. About to delve back into Desire #2. It's much more carnal and frank. I'm wondering about the euphemisms for men's parts, which is always how I differentiate the lines. I'll report back as I research.
In the mean time, I finished the revisions on Halo, Goodbye (short story for New Year's Eve Anthology), watched Rescue Me (firefighter show on FX, I give it thumbs up). Somewhat icky humor (according to my more refined critique partner), but from what I've read, it's true to most professions that deal with much more stress than they are equipped to deal with. STILL waiting for my revisions on Diva's Guide to Selling Your Soul (did you see that cover, isn't it great?), and if my editor is reading this, I know your suggestions will be brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
I'm still researching the firefighter book (see above), which will hopefully turn into a single title (if I don't mention it again, you know the ax has fallen). Thinking that I have another few pages I've written that would make a good Desire. Will keep you posted.
TTFN.
