I mailed Tormented to Harlequin Blaze on Wednesday afternoon. I really don’t hold out much hope. It’s quite hard to get in with them, but I’m going to leave it there for the time they recommend. I do have a back up plan if this doesn’t pan out. I know a publishing house that’s really looking for biracial stories but I’m going to wait it out and see what the editor at Blaze has to say. I was torn between submitting to Silhouette Romantic Suspense and the Blaze line. Having met Patience Smith and being very impressed with her professionalism, I would love so much to work with her. I think my heat level on this book was a bit too hot for the Silhouette line. The ones I read seemed much less vivid (that’s a better word than graphic as graphic makes me think of more erotica and my stories are not erotica). Question of the day: Anyone read any Silhouettes as hot as Blazes?
BLAZE!!

I’m afriad I tend to stay away from most of the Silhouette and Harlequin lines. Not that they’re bad or anything, but because I’m predisposed to reading longer books. The ones I do remember reading when I was younger though, were pretty hot. Of course, that was um…er….well, a long, long time ago LOL I’m sure they’ve become hotter over time 😉

I don’t usually read them either, Danica but I won a critique at national last year from Blaze and she said I had a “fun” voice so I thought I’d try a submission there.

I haven’t read any books in the Blaze line. I wish you the best of luck, though, with your MS. 🙂
