SHALLA Q&A Description: Ask our featured Editors from Linden Bay Romance and get answers. Can’t go to RWA Nationals? Meet Editors online.

Info on Linden Bay Romance:

We at Linden Bay are therefore looking for top quality, artistically beautiful pieces that deserve a chance to be appreciated. Though we know that we're running a business, we hope to be a place where new authors can find a supportive and nurturing environment to work with others who are enthused and energetic about written _expression, respectful and appreciative of the artistic aspects of great writing, and are in it for more than just the monetary profits.

Having said that, here is our official answer to your questions about who we are and specifically what we are looking for. Feel free to use anything in this email to best get the word out to your audience about us, whatever you feel is most important for them to know:

Who are Linden Bay Romance and kind of stories will we be offering?

Our tag-line is Escape With Us, and here at Linden Bay Romance that's
exactly what we want you to do. We're a new e-publisher and we'll be
opening for business on 1 June 2005 with five novels by new authors.
We are also planning shorter romances which will be released in sets of
three in our Trilogies line.

Our stories will have a strongly defined hero and heroine who the
reader will really care about and remember long after they've
finished the book. We want readers to root for our heroines and fall
in love with our heroes.

The developing relationship will be the central focus of the book
with the story tightly centered on that. Secondary characters might
appear, but they won't distract from the main romance.

Sexual content will range from mildly erotic to very erotic with sex
scenes that contribute to both plot and character development. Sex
will be between consenting adults only. There will be no sex with> minors, and any other
controversial sexual content, if it appears,
will be relevant to the plot and sensitively handled.

We believe that an escapist romance needs a happy, or in the very
least, a hopeful ending. We want to pull the reader in, keep them> reading, make them breathless with anticipation, then leave them
smiling. The journey may be dramatic, with laughter and tears along
the way, but the couple will always find a way to overcome obstacles in the
end.

And, of course, we want the reader to come back for more!

Linen Bay Romance is now open for submissions in the following
genres: Paranormal/Fantasy, Adventure, Contemporary, Historical and
Suspense/Drama. Submissions guidelines can be found at
www.lindenbayromance.com
