And what's the status of NEXT, RDI, and HQN? Are they still buying new manuscripts on a regular basis? Anything in particular they want or don't want? Hi Stacy–
Could you tell us if there’s anything new on the Silhouette/Harlequin horizon for those of us who write humorous single title? And what’s the status of NEXT, RDI, and HQN? Are they still buying new manuscripts on a regular basis? Anything in particular they want or don’t want?

Also, thanks for all your kind comments about the books. So glad to hear from you that they are moving off the shelves. I'm so happy that Stacy's belief in not only THE CALLING, but paranormals helped lead to Nocturne. Thanks again to Stacy and to all of you for dropping by!

If an author were to pitch to you at a conference (and you asked to see the work) and realized after pitching to you that she had submitted the book to the Nocturne line (at the advice of another editor at HQ), but said author also learned after the fact that her book did not fit Nocturne at all (length/tone) and tried to withdraw the submission from Nocturne, but was alas, too late...If that book were then rejected by Nocturne for the very reasons noted above, would Stacy still wish to see the book. Word on the street is that once rejected by HQ, always rejected by HQ. Any advice? From a purely hypothetical standpoint, of course. A purely – ahem – hypothetical question for Stacy.

I just wanted to take a fast moment to thank you for taking the time and working so closely and devotedly with a lady who has fast become one of my new favorite writers. Did I see a glimmer of a mention additional books in <i>The Calling</i> series awaiting contract? Could we maybe have a small hint? Hi Stacy, reader/writer here!
