I would love you to "glom" my backlist anytime. :-)<br />FYI, I did a series of books set in Ranger Springs, but they didn't have the same logo/i.d. so they appear in different collections, like "Baby on Board" and things like that. When I started the new town of Brody's Crossing, I got my own series logo, so all of those can be pulled up together. Before writing for Harlequin, I was published in historical and paranormal romance, and I did three short contemporary romances for Precious Gems.Victoria Chancellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590866904080034328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-69748750819378374612010-09-22T13:35:09.160-05:002010-09-22T13:35:09.160-05:00Pam, I figured we were about the same "vintag...Pam, I figured we were about the same "vintage." :-) Thanks for the suggestion, but it must have "Texan" in the title. TEXAN SURPRISE just doesn't have the same ring to it. I know the editors/art department love anything to do with pregnant heroines (I'll probably get a big belly on the cover even though she's only 3 months pregnant) and they love weddings, too, for the covers. I'm sure we'll come up with a good one. Take care.Victoria Chancellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590866904080034328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-90446764964372682732010-09-22T11:52:46.747-05:002010-09-22T11:52:46.747-05:00Opps.

Like my granddaughter told her parents when they were trying to name her soon to be baby sister, "Why don't you just add Shelby to the list so you can mark it off?" How about just Texas Surpise?Pamela Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673215467505231212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-28047802993896172122010-09-21T20:13:08.264-05:002010-09-21T20:13:08.264-05:00Kara, thanks for the suggestion of THE TEXAN'S...Kara, thanks for the suggestion of THE TEXAN'S SURPRISE WEDDING. I'll add that one to the list! You're good with titles. It's always easier when one isn't already set on a title, like I do sometimes.

Sometimes she likes a title that I don't, but editors have different considerations, like making sure all the titles for the month are different and don't contain a lot of the same words. (My first book with HAR was ALMOST A BRIDEGROOM but I was told someone else already had "bridegroom" for the month, so I had to change mine. It became THE BACHELOR PROJECT.)

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but in another funny story, we had to make a trip back to Louisville a few months later just to show everyone at work that I was not going to have a baby. Usually when the wedding happens that fast, the reason will be "obvious" in a few months. :-)Victoria Chancellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590866904080034328noreply@blogger.com
