WHAT’S NEXT?
What’s on the horizon for Harlequin-Silhouette? Well no more Bombshells for one.
An official announcement dropping the … er … bombshell … has been posted on the eHarlequin.ca site. It highlights an excerpt from a letter sent to Silhouette Bombshell authors detailing the changes in the company’s publishing program.
The excerpt reads as follows: “As a company, Harlequin is committed to the success of our series publishing business. We believe it is our responsibility to develop, evolve and enrich our various programs in order to bring new opportunities to our authors and fresh and relevant reading experiences to our readers.
“The complex side of keeping our publishing programs healthy is that every so often, we must evaluate a series that has not consistently been a strong performer and make difficult decisions about its future. Unfortunately, Silhouette Bombshell has not been able find a broad-based readership, and after reviewing the past, present and projected performance of the series, we’re sorry to announce that January 2007 will be the final publication month for Bombshell. ”
Questions or comments about this change are welcome on the site.
My heart truly goes out to those with Bombshells in the works.

Hugs to all the Bombshell authors (published and aspiring). Tough news to have the dream taken away. HOWEVER, there are other venues and the opportunities are waiting!
Keep resting, Loreth. It’ll do your body good!
