Wednesday morning--new line at Harlequin and their newsletter from The Cottage of Blog

The Cottage of Blog

Good morning from the Cottage of Blog where breakfast was two scrambled eggs and Italian break with butter a marmelade. Yum.
Pull up a chair and have some coffee. Folger's is my brand of choice and I usually put just a sprinkle of cinnamon in the grounds. Hmmm. Delicious.

I'm about ready to head for school. I read another chapter of Swain last night. Unfortunately, I was so exhausted, I have no idea what I read. Maybe during one of my breaks today, I might peer back into the chapter.

EHarlequin has a newsletter in case anyone is interested. (see listing on sidebar) Today they talked about the importance of research. They mentioned that Harlequin has arranged tours of the FBI building, and especially for Intrigue (and some other lines) stressed the importance of taking courses on the firing range (learn to shoot a gun) forensic courses and other continuing education that will make your murder mysteries come alive.

Speaking of Harlequing, I learned they have a line called "World Wide Mystery." From what I could gather by their example, these are not romances rather straight mysteries. Wow. I am definitely interested in this new line.

If you're interested in series, I suggest you go to EHarlequin.com and look it over. They have a critique service (yes you pay) a "Writing a novel in a year" site and detailed publisher guidelines for each line.

Everyone have a great day.

Pat
