May Happenings!
I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by our week-long blog at Romance Vagabonds with Harlequin Mills and Boon. We shared lots of information, had some fun contests and Q and A with Senior Editor, Linda Fildew and Joanne Carr. Our Western Day was headed up by Lisa Plumley, Kathryn Albright and Charlene Sands (me).
This month, amid the wedding plans for my daughter, choosing invitations and sizing dresses, appropriately our Western Wedding Anthology has been released! We're garnering some very nice reviews and it's a chance to read stories from multi-talented writers, Kate Bridges and Jillian Hart as well. I hope you enjoy this trio of stories!
Another fun happening is a month-long appearance on Coffee Time Romance for a May Reader's Retreat with six great authors from Petticoats and Pistols. There'll be prizes, blogs and I'll be talking about Westerns and my brand-new Suite Secrets Series from Silhouette Desire. Wait until you see the cover for Five Star Cowboy!! Oh, and we have titles for the next two books in the series, Do Not Disturb Until Christmas (Nov 08)and Reserved for the Tycoon (Feb 09) Another May Happening is the Brenda Novak Diabetes Auction. There's so many great items up for bid on this auction, including vacations and electronics, critiques from authors and editors and tons of BOOKS! The authors at Pettiocats have donated a pretty cool gift tote filled with goodies. It's a great cause - all proceeds going to Diabetes Research. I hope you have a wonderful May filled with love and flowers and romance!! Happy Trails and Happy Reading! Charlene Sands Bold, rugged, heart-stopping heroes... and always real good men!Labels: Coffee Time romance, Harlequin editors, Western Wedding

Romance Vagabonds Celebrates Harlequin Historicals
It's Harlequin Historical Week at Romance Vagabonds!
Please join in the fun all week long.
On Wednesday I'll be blogging with Lisa Plumley and Kathryn Albright for Western Day! There'll be book giveaways and Q and A you won't want to miss. Come visit me!
Here's some neat info about Mills and Boon !
Celebrating 100 years of pure reading pleasure :
In 2008, Mills & Boon celebrates a century as one of the most enduringly popular brand names in publishing.
Over the past 100 years the Mills & Boon imprint has become synonymous with romantic fiction and today is part of Harlequin, the world’s largest publisher of romance fiction.
* Gerald Mills and Charles Boon founded Mills & Boon Limited in 1908 and opened offices in London’s Covent Garden. Since then, Mills & Boon has become a hallmark for romantic fiction, recognised around the world.*
Mills & Boon is now part of Harlequin Enterprises, a global company who sell over 130 million books worldwide each year.* Published in 26 different languages and sold in 109 countries.* Global author base of 1,300, of which approximately 200 are acquired through the UK office.
Harlequin Mills & Boon is a UK Top 10 adult fiction publisher.
10 million books sold each year in the UK, of which over 7 million are romance novels.*
A Mills & Boon book is sold in the UK every 3 seconds.* UK monthly readership over 1.3 million.*
Mills & Boon series books are released in 2 shipping cycles each month (the first and third Friday of the month) and have a one month shelf life.
More than 60 titles published every month in the UK including 50+ brand-new series titles.
In the past 50 years, our characters have had: 10,325 weddings, 29,500 kisses and 35,250 hugs (figs from UK Editorial-Acquisition).
“Mills & Boon” is in the Oxford English Dictionary meaning “a (type of) popular romantic novel”.
Thanks to Diane Gaston, Joanne Carr, and all the fabulous Harlequin Historical authors for making this celebration possible!
