Why I love Silhouette Nocturne

Vivi Anna

Since I’m a lazy ass and am on crazy deadline…I’m double dipping my blog posting duties.

I’m also over at the Pink Heart Society Blog, talking about the same thing.

When I first heard that Silhouette was starting a paranormal romance line I squealed. Yup, I actually squealed. I’m not in the habit of squealing, but I was very excited about the prospects for writing for this line. I immediately tracked down someone I knew that had sold and asked them tons of questions (thanks Michele Hauf!) then I set out to submit something spectacular to them. All that hard work paid off six weeks later with a contract. Woot!

I love this line!! And here is why…

My top ten reasons I love to write for Nocturne:

1. My editor Tara Gavin, she rocks, enough said!
2. To be part of something new and exciting.
3. I get to fantasize and write about sexy dark heroes like Christian Bale as Caine Valorian in Blood Secrets, and Olivier Martinez as Jace Jericho in Dark Lies. And I have this lovely pic of Alex O’Loughlin from Moonlight for inspiration for my next hero.

4. I get to create different worlds where vampires, werewolves and witches rule. Making stuff up is my favorite thing to do!
5. My heroines get to be just as dark and tough as my heroes.
6. I can write lots of action scenes, with car chases and blow stuff up.
7. The awesome covers they are doing for the line.
8. I get to be in the same line as amazing authors like Linda Howard, Caridad Pineiro, Michele Hauf, PC Cast and Lori Avocato (they have a series coming out soon) and up and coming authors like Lisa Renee Jones, Patrice Michelle, and Pamela Palmer.
9. The freedom to create the stories I want to tell and the opportunity to grow and sharpen my storytelling skills.
10. Hullo? It’s Harlequin. Who wouldn’t want to write for them? Tons of awesome authors got their start here and are still writing for the company.

Do you have a favorite line???

  1. Hey Vivi! Good to see ya. I am a recent convert to Nocturne, and you’re responsible. Your books are fabulous, and keep me coming back for more.

    For the most part, category romances are hit or miss for me. I think of them as the quickies, you know, the ones you read when you need a fix fast, and can finish in a day. They are like a sweet treat and I love them to bits. My favorite is probably Blaze, followed by Harlequin Presents, and maybe Silhouette Intimate Moments (for Brockmsnn’a SEALs). It’s probably more then author than the line that keeps me coming back for more. Like Lucy Monroe for Presents and Alison Kent for Blaze.

  2. Good Morning, Vivi. I just had the pleasure of reading ‘Dark Lies’; it was terrific. I absolutely LOVE the Silhouette Nocturne line. I was thrilled when they decided to start this line and haven’t missed a book. There are so many wonderful authors contributing their exciting works to this line and I am thrilled to read each and every one whether it is about vampires, witches, shapeshifters, wizards, weres or other immortals. I love to read them all. My next favorite would be the Blaze line followed by the Romantic Suspense books.

  7. With so little time to read in my busy schedule, I love that I can find just about anything I want among the Harlequin lines in a format I can handle (short). Now that they have Nocturne, I can get my paranormal fix! I’d really love to see more comedy come back as well. Keep writing those wonderful books, Vivi!
