One thing I have noticed in the past year or so is that the more romance readers are online speaking with one another, the faster we all get a working understanding of the publishing process. We learn more about how a book is produced, in other words, the more we speak with writers, editors, and publishing professionals. Remember Navarro’s Promise, where the promised sex scene was entirely missing? That scene is available as a download on her site.

If you head on over to Lora Leigh’s page on Macmillan’s website, there’s a place to sign up and receive a free, never-before-published short story from her Elite Ops series. You do have to opt-in to the Lora Leigh newsletter from Macmillan but a free short story to promote her next book, Maverick, due out next month, is a smarty pants idea.
