&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached the age of thirty that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale, and in 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through [http://www.alisonkent.com her website], and chat about craft, the writing life, and favorite books on [http://www.alisonkent.com her very active blog].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached the age of thirty that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale, and in 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a website designer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through [http://www.alisonkent.com her website], and chat about craft, the writing life, and favorite books on [http://www.alisonkent.com her very active blog].&lt;br /&gt;

''Romance has been elegantly defined as the offspring of fiction and love.&lt;br /&gt;
-- Benjamin Disraeli''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Romance is the offspring of love--love of the reader, love of the writer, love of the reviewer, and love of the publisher. The genre is ever-evolving. Trends come and go. Cowboys went the way of the West and vampires came out into the light. That will change, as the genre always does. What's popular today won't be tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who dictates the direction of modern romance? The writer? The reader? The publisher? The reviewer?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer is: All of the above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weblogs have emerged as a viable source of information. &amp;quot;Bloggers&amp;quot; are on the cutting edge. They find information and spread it quickly. They share their knowledge and their viewpoints, they &amp;quot;rant&amp;quot; and they praise. And when it comes to romance, they know their stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The columnists on Romancing the Blog are readers, reviewers, aspiring authors, and bestsellers. Some are thoughtful, some humorous, some a bit &amp;quot;ranty,&amp;quot; and some are insightful. They have their own voices and a love of romance. Together, with your comments, they will map the landscape of today's romance genre from every possible angle. From story conception to the moment a reader finishes the book, they'll cover it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you know where the genre is going next?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.  In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a website designer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her website [http://www.alisonkent.com].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.  In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a website designer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her website [http://www.alisonkent.com].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.  In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a website designer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her website [http://www.alisonkent.com].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.  In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a website designer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her website [http://www.alisonkent.com].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.  In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a website designer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her website at [http://www.alisonkent.com].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.  In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the &amp;quot;Isn't It Romantic?&amp;quot; episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, [[Call Me]], was a [[Romantic Times]] finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.  Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the [[Harlequin]] [[Blaze]] and [[Kensington]] [[Brava]] lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a website designer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her website at [http://www.alisonkent.com].&lt;br /&gt;
