Romantic suspense editors have also expressed a desperate need for new fiction, in person even. If the work you're looking at has suspense and romance both (in almost any ratio), I think pitching it as romantic suspense will at least get it a reading. Then the MS can stand on its own merits.Clare2ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06105229820107294986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7818123252981343255.post-31181405384993856362008-07-10T15:48:00.000-04:002008-07-10T15:48:00.000-04:00What an information-packed piece! You're remarkable. Do you ever sleep? I'm currently critiquing a suspense/romance which will likely end up being a romantic suspense if the author takes your advice to heart, as I have.<BR/><BR/>Write On!<BR/>NanNan Higginsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15751786321997626726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7818123252981343255.post-28363154377459804542008-07-10T14:19:00.000-04:002008-07-10T14:19:00.000-04:00Carl- thanks for visiting.

I can't wait to see if our captain and dragon surmount their dilemmas. I don't want to say too much for anyone who might read, but these stories have a serial quality, and the latest crisis is always the worst.Clare2ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06105229820107294986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7818123252981343255.post-51209469487657375872008-07-09T17:28:00.000-04:002008-07-09T17:28:00.000-04:00I am really enjoying the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik!
