It's been a real education, though, that's for sure. I think I'm going to send it to Samhain once I finish the synopsis and do some final polishing. And yes, I plan to use a pseudonym, although it's not really a secret--I just don't want to startle anyone who's expecting my usual writing. :)K.C.

It may or may not be Harlequin's speed, but it's awesome and it'll sell somewhere. <br /><br />So tell me why you decided to write for Harlequin anyway? Is it a challenge? For a change of scenery? Would you go by a different name? It's intriguing to me, and sounds like a lot of fun!<br /><br /><br />-MercedesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034944370161032319.post-47331491050785297152011-01-02T13:34:52.582-05:002011-01-02T13:34:52.582-05:00Cate--I knew I should have put buttons on!Cate--I knew I should have put buttons on!K.C.

You might also look at Mira, Zebra, and other publishers of romance of the same length. I'm sure that there is an imprint that it would fit into.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228827774140351030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034944370161032319.post-21357171640894677972011-01-02T00:07:05.775-05:002011-01-02T00:07:05.775-05:00You know, I really did consider that.

If I was more familiar with the romance genre, I would have known from the start what I was doing wasn't going to work.<br /><br />It is kind of an interesting plot, though. If I do say so myself.K.C.
