After spending the weekend in the Smart Bitch Clinic for Amnesia, I awoke to find a slew of submissions to our “publishing imprint,” WHA? – Why Heroines with Amnesia?

I have to leave it to you, our Smart Bitchery, to decide the … Continue reading Smart Bitch Publishing: WHA? Series Query Contest!→

A list of titles so bad, even the folks down in the Harlequin Presents office aren’t allowed to … Continue reading Titles You’ll Never See on a Harlequin Presents Novel→
