Ummm... s...yikes... so Riva will be MH and romance! Ummm... seems a strange mix. I wonder if Riva will now have its own guidelines... if I'm writing to target MH, then I guess I'm now writing to target Riva.

My local bookstore is advertising a new line called "special moments" which sounds as though it could be the RIVA line for Oz but if it's not including the MH I have no idea. Linda Lael Miller's is in it instead of Desire where she usually is. I'm confuzzled. Not the best marketing me thinks.Lacey Devlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716109142743069204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25455577.post-14856400401960187442010-07-20T10:24:40.772+10:002010-07-20T10:24:40.772+10:00Jo, this is a great point you make, something I ha...Jo, this is a great point you make, something I hadn't thought of.<br /><br />Please do still look up the MH authors and continue to buy our fab books :)<br /><br />Yes, the MH in the UK will become part of a new series in Jan, RIVA, combined with some Harlequin Romance books.<br /><br />Won't some of my readers be confused if they pick up one of my MHs by mistake!

I prefer the tone of the MH stories... the heroes are generally less arrogant alpha, the heroines are much more their equal, the storylines are better. Now, I will probably just stick to the MH authors I know - where as in the past I would take a Sensation even if I didn't know the author, because I figured if it's a Sensation, then I'm going to enjoy it. Or, I'll have to check on the UK site to see which titles are actually MH...although didn't I hear that MH and a few Sexy's will be listed together as another line in the UK... something aimed at the younger market ??????Jo Dixonnoreply@blogger.com
