I know it's a few weeks late - mea culpa, all you lovely romancers - but the Winter Newsletter for Embrace Books is out and winging its way to subscribers. It's also available via Facebook and Twitter, for those who befriend us there.
If you're not on the subscribers' list, you can sign up here.
We have news on Michelle Styles and Kate Allan's jointly written and highly unusual Regency romance, The Lady Soldier, complete with 'deleted scenes' reinstated.
There's also a Love Letter written specially for us by romance writer Phillipa Ashley, from the point of view of a yearning Anne to her distant Captain Frederick Wentworth (a 'what happened afterwards' look at Jane Austen's Persuasion).
Not to mention some detailed How To tips for new writers on 'Writing the Opening to Your Novel' and more news on the impending launch itself.
In fact, the next newsletter will be our Launch Issue!
I shall pass swiftly over how terribly exciting that prospect is, and merely say that the elves have been very busy at Embrace this past week, with e-proofs winging their way to and from authors. This kind of activity will continue over the weekend and into early February, and then .... drumroll! ... we intend to launch Embrace Books officially on Valentine's Day, February 14th 2011.
So watch this blog space in the next two or three weeks, for some tremendous things are starting to happen here at Embrace HQ!

November Newsletter: Coming Soon!
The November Newsletter will be on its way out soon, with tons of exciting news from Embrace and the usual cluster of fun and interesting feature items, like tips on writing romance and our regular Love Letter feature.
Apologies to those who missed our earlier newsletters. We were thinking of changing the way the newsletter is presented, but in the end decided to keep the standard style for now.
Come our mega-launch in the New Year, a whole barrage of fabulous new Embrace features are due to appear, including a brand-new website, a chat forum, an email group for readers to meet writers - and a revamped newsletter that will launch along with our first 8-10 titles.
A busy time, then, in the run-up to Christmas. But so exciting!
Do look out for the November Newsletter, which should drop into your inboxes in the next ten days. So better put Embrace Books on your Not Spam list, just in case, and if you're not already a subscriber, the link to be added to our email list is in the right-hand sidebar here.

Fabulous new website for Embrace Books
Just when I was getting comfortable here on blogspot, it seems we have a new address.
Check out the brand-new website, just starting to take shape at embracebooks.co.uk, and marvel at its total gorgeousness!
I shall be developing some of the posts there in the weeks to come, which may include repeating a few important posts from this site. Bear with me though, there'll be plenty of new material coming soon to Embrace Books, especially once we're out of the holiday month.
The first-ever Embrace Love Letter will also be coming your way around August 21st, packed with exciting news, photographs, tips on writing romance, and even some short fiction to get you in the mood.
If you haven't signed up to receive the newsletter, please click at the top of the side-bar.

What's Happening at Embrace?
In our first week, the Embrace Books blog has enjoyed almost a thousand hits. But we have less than twenty followers.
It would be great to bump that number. Please follow us if you don't already do so, and keep track of what's happening at Embrace. If you're one of our first followers, many thanks indeed!
The next few months will see some exciting developments at Embrace. Behind the scenes, we are considering possible backlist content, putting together an Embrace contract, looking at the pros and cons of various download formats, and discussing which features we'd like to see on our forthcoming website.
If you have any suggestions, please comment below. We are keen to involve readers and writers in the evolution of Embrace.
News-wise, we are already close to announcing our first ever acceptance - I'm sure no one wants to miss hearing about that first-hand!
Okay, you're hopping with excitement. So what do you do now?
There are several ways to keep up to date with the latest news from Embrace:
