I'm sorry I didn't do so earlier because it is an important distinction. Also adding to the SO TIRED chorus. Stacy, I’ll make a point of changing my blog to reflect that as well.

I do want to point out that the blog post you and Barb pointed to was on my own personal blog, not a Harlequin blog. I was not speaking as a representative of Harlequin, just commenting on an interesting turn of events in the publishing world. I've since decided to drop the Horizons discussion b/c it was causing me too much stress. If you want to read my thoughts on that: http://stacyboyd.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/horizons-the-final-word/ In the meantime, I'm with you. So TIRED. Selah,

I've learned to mentally pat the pointers and mockers on their flat little heads and think, "Bless your hearts." *shrug* Works for me. Katrina~ "Interesting" is one word for it. Can it be over now, please? I'm TIRED. Barb~ Yes, but the pointing and the mocking arrive right on schedule every time romance is mentioned, in ANY context.
