'''Samhain Publishing''' publishes mainstream, romance and [[Erotic Romance|erotic romance]] through [[Electronic Publishers|electronic]] and print means. Their books are available at major bookstores. <br />
<br />
==On The Web==<br />
They are on the Web at: http://samhainpublishing.com/<br />
<br />
==About the Company==<br />
Samhain - the Celtic New Year - signifies a new beginning, a rebirth. Now it will also mark the launch of a new venture in the publishing world.<br />
<br />
Pronounced sah-vin by the Scots, sow-in (sow like cow) by the Irish and sam-hine in English, Samhain is the Irish word for November and this November sees the opening of Samhain Publishing, Ltd. Founded with a goal of bringing to compulsive readers books that allow them to discover new worlds and be taken on adventures through the creative minds of today's brightest authors.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Submissions==<br />
Samhain Publishing is currently accepting submissions in all genres of fiction and non-fiction.<br />
<br />
We encourage you to let your muse have its way and to create tales that don’t always adhere to current trends. One never knows what the next "big thing" will be, or when it will start, so write what’s in your soul. These are the books that, whether the story is based on "formula" or is an "original", when written from the heart will earn you a life-time readership.<br />
<br />
The preferred word count is 60,000 or longer, but we are quite happy to publish shorter works with word counts of no less than 12,000.<br />
<br />
Please visit our website for more information: http://samhainpublishing.com/submissions.shtml<br />

One never knows what the next "big thing" will be, or when it will start, so write what’s in your soul. These are the books that, whether the story is based on "formula" or is an "original", when written from the heart will earn you a life-time readership.<br />

<hr />
<div>Erotic romance, as defined by [[Romance Writers of America]]'s (RWA) special interest chapter, [http://www.passionateink.org/index.php Passionate Ink] Passionate Ink, are stories written about the development of a romantic relationship through sexual interaction. The sex is an inherent part of the story, character growth, and relationship development, and couldn’t be removed without damaging the storyline. Happily Ever After is a REQUIREMENT to be an erotic romance.<br />
<br />
<br />
The subgenre, which is sometimes referred to as [http://www.ellorascave.com/whatisromantica.asp romantica] (a trademark of [http://www.ellorascave.com/ Ellora's Cave Publishing]) got its start in ePublishing/small press. High volume sales showed New York publishers there was an untapped market for erotic romance that they could fill and since 2005 they have incorporated new imprints to meet the demand of readers. [http://www.rwanational.org/galleries/default-file/ROMStat2006.pdf Stats] for erotic romance are difficult to verify as publishers tend to lump erotic romance in with established categories such as historicals, contemporaries, paranormals and other subgenres. Erotic romance writers who are members of RWA have petitioned unsuccessfully within the organization for a separate subgenre category under RWA's Golden Heart and RITA contests.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels have romance as the main focus of the plot line, and they are characterized by strong, often explicit, sexual content. The books can contain elements of any of the other romance subgenres, such as paranormal elements, chick lit, hen lit, historical fiction, etc. In fact, many erotic romance novels are often categorized by one of the categories already defined in the industry. As a result, reader unhappiness has been noted in the blogosphere as to whether romance has too much sex. [http://dearauthor.com Dear Author], a blog noted for its watchdog review of the romance industry with industry professionals such as [[Nora Roberts]] commenting frequently on pertinent romance issues, has discussed the subject of erotic romance at length. See [http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2008/05/06/the-oversexualization-of-romance/ Oversexualization of Romance] for one such discussion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels take the reader beyond the bedroom door where more traditional romance does not breach that barrier. The sex scenes, while explicit, are there for the purpose of character development. Erotic romance should not be confused with pornography. Works of pornography consist of sexual acts without a plot line. Erotic romance however includes well-developed characters and at least one primary plot with the possibility of subplots. The primary and/or subplots can stand alone without the explicit sex, but the characterizations in the story will suffer dramatically if the sexual content is removed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance writers generally have more flexibility in pushing the envelope of erotic romance than authors for traditional print publishers, although this has changed dramatically since 2005 when NY publishers began to explore the subgenre with lines such as [http://www.kensingtonbooks.com/catalog.cfm?dest=dir&linkon=subsection&linkid=1839 Aphrodisa], [http://www.harpercollins.com/imprints/index.aspx?imprintid=518015 Avon Red] and others. With ePublishing, the writer has even greater leeway in most instances to write on subjects that in the past have been taboo, such as menage, BDSM, gay lit and other topics. There are however, a number of subjects still considered off limits, even in erotic romance. Themes such as pedophilia, incest, and bestiality are discouraged by all publishers, and the reputable ePublishers and print publishers will not accept submissions that contain such themes as part of the overall character ARC.<br />
<br />
<br />
Small press and ePublishers still remain the stronghold of the subgenre, and the market is still a strong one as is evident by the phenomenal growth of [http://www.samhainpublishing.com/about Samhain Publishing] which has grown since its start in 2006 to be one of the leading ePublishers in the industry with a strong list of erotic romance from new and upcoming authors to such well-established authors such as Lucy Monroe, Jaci Burton and others. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ellora's Cave Publishing, an electronic publisher which focuses predominantly on erotic romance, became the first electronic publisher to be recognized by the [[Romance Writers of America]] as a legitimate publisher. Both Ellora's Cave Publishing and Samhain Publishing have partnered with New York publishers to expand some of their works into mass market. Ellora's Cave with Pocket Books and Samhain Publishing with [[Kensington Books]].<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels can range from short story to single title length. All publishers currently have some form of erotic romance or erotica imprint. As a subgenre of the [[Romance]] genre, erotic romance is part of the [[Romance Writers of America]] project that is categorizing and detailing romance authors of all subgenres in the romantic fiction market.</div>MonicaBurnshttps://romancewiki.bham.ac.uk//index.php?title=Erotic_Romance&diff=62925Erotic Romance2008-05-18T17:11:44Z<p>MonicaBurns: /* Erotic Romance Authors */</p>

High volume sales showed New York publishers there was an untapped market for erotic romance that they could fill and since approximately 2005 they have incorporated new imprints to meet the demand of readers. [http://www.rwanational.org/galleries/default-file/ROMStat2006.pdf Stats] for erotic romance are difficult to verify as publishers tend to lump erotic romance in with established categories such as historicals, contemporaries, paranormals and other subgenres. Erotic romance writers who are members of RWA have petitioned unsuccessfully within the organization for a separate subgenre category under RWA's Golden Heart and RITA contests.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels have romance as the main focus of the plot line, and they are characterized by strong, often explicit, sexual content. The books can contain elements of any of the other romance subgenres, such as paranormal elements, chick lit, hen lit, historical fiction, etc. In fact, many erotic romance novels are often categorized by one of the categories already defined in the industry. As a result, reader unhappiness has been noted in the blogosphere as to whether romance has too much sex. [http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2008/05/06/the-oversexualization-of-romance/ Dear Author], a romance commentary blog, has discussed the subject at length on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels can range from short story to single title length. All publishers currently have some form of erotic romance or erotica imprint. The subgenre's novels take the reader beyond the bedroom door where more traditional romance does not breach that barrier. The sex scenes, while explicit, are there for the purpose of character development. Erotic romance should not be confused with pornography. Works of pornography consist of sexual acts without a plot line. Erotic romance however includes well-developed characters and at least one primary plot with the possibility of subplots. The primary and/or subplots can stand alone without the explicit sex, but the characterizations in the story will suffer dramatically if the sexual content is removed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance writers generally have more flexibility in pushing the envelope of erotic romance than authors for traditional print publishers, although this has changed dramatically since 2005 when NY publishers began to explore the subgenre with lines such as [http://www.kensingtonbooks.com/catalog.cfm?dest=dir&linkon=subsection&linkid=1839 Aphrodisa], [http://www.harpercollins.com/imprints/index.aspx?imprintid=518015 Avon Red] and others. With ePublishing, the writer has even greater leeway in most instances to write on subjects that in the past have been taboo, such as menage, BDSM, gay lit and other topics. There are however, a number of subjects still considered off limits, even in erotic romance. Themes such as pedophilia, incest, and bestiality are discouraged by all publishers, and the reputable ePublishers and print publishers will not accept submissions that contain such themes as part of the overall character ARC.<br />
<br />
<br />
Small press and ePublishers still remain the stronghold of the subgenre, and the market is still a strong one as is evident by the phenomenal growth of [http://www.samhainpublishing.com/about Samhain Publishing] which has grown since its start in 2006 to be one of the leading ePublishers in the industry with a strong list of erotic romance from new and upcoming authors to such well-established authors such as Lucy Monroe, Jaci Burton and others. Both Ellora's Cave Publishing and Samhain Publishing have partnered with New York publishers to expand some of their works into mass market.

<br />
'''Erotic romance''' is a [[Romance Sub-Genres|sub-genre]] of the [[Romance Genre|romance genre]]. <br />
<br />
Erotic romance, as defined by [[Romance Writers of America]]'s (RWA) special interest chapter, [http://www.passionateink.org/index.php Passionate Ink], are stories written about the development of a romantic relationship through sexual interaction. The sex is an inherent part of the story, character growth, and relationship development, and couldn’t be removed without damaging the storyline. Happily Ever After is a REQUIREMENT to be an erotic romance.<br />
<br />
<br />
The subgenre, which is sometimes referred to as [http://www.ellorascave.com/whatisromantica.asp romantica] (a trademark of [http://www.ellorascave.com/ Ellora's Cave Publishing]) got its start in ePublishing/small press. High volume sales showed New York publishers there was an untapped market for erotic romance that they could fill and since approximately 2005 they have incorporated new imprints to meet the demand of readers. [http://www.rwanational.org/galleries/default-file/ROMStat2006.pdf Stats] for erotic romance are difficult to verify as publishers tend to lump erotic romance in with established categories such as historicals, contemporaries, paranormals and other subgenres. Erotic romance writers who are members of RWA have petitioned unsuccessfully within the organization for a separate subgenre category under RWA's Golden Heart and RITA contests.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels have romance as the main focus of the plot line, and they are characterized by strong, often explicit, sexual content. The books can contain elements of any of the other romance subgenres, such as paranormal elements, chick lit, hen lit, historical fiction, etc. In fact, many erotic romance novels are often categorized by one of the categories already defined in the industry. As a result, reader unhappiness has been noted in the blogosphere as to whether romance has too much sex. [http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2008/05/06/the-oversexualization-of-romance/ Dear Author], a romance commentary blog, has discussed the subject at length on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels take the reader beyond the bedroom door where more traditional romance does not breach that barrier. The sex scenes, while explicit, are there for the purpose of character development. Erotic romance should not be confused with pornography. Works of pornography consist of sexual acts without a plot line. Erotic romance however includes well-developed characters and at least one primary plot with the possibility of subplots. The primary and/or subplots can stand alone without the explicit sex, but the characterizations in the story will suffer dramatically if the sexual content is removed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance writers generally have more flexibility in pushing the envelope of erotic romance than authors for traditional print publishers, although this has changed dramatically since 2005 when NY publishers began to explore the subgenre with lines such as [http://www.kensingtonbooks.com/catalog.cfm?dest=dir&linkon=subsection&linkid=1839 Aphrodisa], [http://www.harpercollins.com/imprints/index.aspx?imprintid=518015 Avon Red] and others. With ePublishing, the writer has even greater leeway in most instances to write on subjects that in the past have been taboo, such as menage, BDSM, gay lit and other topics. There are however, a number of subjects still considered off limits, even in erotic romance. Themes such as pedophilia, incest, and bestiality are discouraged by all publishers, and the reputable ePublishers and print publishers will not accept submissions that contain such themes as part of the overall character ARC.<br />
<br />
<br />
Small press and ePublishers still remain the stronghold of the subgenre, and the market is still a strong one as is evident by the phenomenal growth of [http://www.samhainpublishing.com/about Samhain Publishing] which has grown since its start in 2006 to be one of the leading ePublishers in the industry with a strong list of erotic romance from new and upcoming authors to such well-established authors such as Lucy Monroe, Jaci Burton and others. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ellora's Cave Publishing, an electronic publisher which focuses predominantly on erotic romance, became the first electronic publisher to be recognized by the [[Romance Writers of America]] as a legitimate publisher. Both Ellora's Cave Publishing and Samhain Publishing have partnered with New York publishers to expand some of their works into mass market. Ellora's Cave with Pocket Books and Samhain Publishing with [[Kensington Books]].<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance novels can range from short story to single title length. All publishers currently have some form of erotic romance or erotica imprint. As a subgenre of the [[Romance]] genre, erotic romance is part of the [http://www.romancewiki.com/Main_Page Romance Wiki] project that is categorizing and detailing romance authors of all subgenres in the romantic fiction market.<br />

Erotic romance novels have romance as the main focus of the plot line, and they are characterized by strong, often explicit, sexual content. The books can contain elements of any of the other romance subgenres, such as paranormal elements, chick lit, hen lit, historical fiction, etc. In fact, many erotic romance novels are often categorized by one of the categories already defined in the industry. As a result, reader unhappiness has been noted in the blogosphere as to whether romance has too much sex.

Erotic romance novels take the reader beyond the bedroom door where more traditional romance does not breach that barrier. The sex scenes, while explicit, are there for the purpose of character development. Erotic romance should not be confused with pornography. Works of pornography consist of sexual acts without a plot line. Erotic romance however includes well-developed characters and at least one primary plot with the possibility of subplots. The primary and/or subplots can stand alone without the explicit sex, but the characterizations in the story will suffer dramatically if the sexual content is removed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Erotic romance writers generally have more flexibility in pushing the envelope of erotic romance than authors for traditional print publishers, although this has changed dramatically since 2005 when NY publishers began to explore the subgenre with lines such as [http://www.kensingtonbooks.com/catalog.cfm?dest=dir&linkon=subsection&linkid=1839 Aphrodisa], [http://www.harpercollins.com/imprints/index.aspx?imprintid=518015 Avon Red] and others. With ePublishing, the writer has even greater leeway in most instances to write on subjects that in the past have been taboo, such as menage, BDSM, gay lit and other topics. There are however, a number of subjects still considered off limits, even in erotic romance. Themes such as pedophilia, incest, and bestiality are discouraged by all publishers, and the reputable ePublishers and print publishers will not accept submissions that contain such themes as part of the overall character ARC.<br />

<br />
<b>Seductive words, sinful pleasures and a ghostly ancestor all add up to A Bluestocking Christmas with a Dickens of a twist</b><br />
<br />
Miss Ivy Beecham is a bluestocking who has sworn off love, and she’s found the perfect place to hide from love. A library. Simon Carton, Viscount Wycombe, is an intellectual rogue who’s convinced all women can be bought.<br />
<br />
What neither of them counted on was finding love amid a stack of dusty books. Determined to win the reluctant bluestocking nymph, Simon seduces Ivy with words and other sinful pleasures. But despite the passion between them, Ivy refuses to risk her heart—at least not until the ghost of her ancestor visits her on Christmas Eve and helps Ivy see that her choices will affect the rest of her life. The question is will Ivy make the right choice.<br />

===Beneath The Mistletoe by [[Charlotte Featherstone]]===<br />
Holly Nightingale is a woman who has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. It's been eight years since the man she thought loved her left her without a word after kissing her passionately beneath the mistletoe.<br />
<br />
Andrew Carlyle has made his fortune in India and returned to England to claim the woman he has always wanted. But the Holly he knew is gone. In her place is a stranger with a delectably curvaceous body he can't stop desiring, and a steely resolve he hopes to breach. And he will, especially with the help of Holly's great-grandmother--The Grand Dame, not to mention his persuasive skill with the mistletoe.<br />
<br />
===Kind Of Magic by [[Charlotte Featherstone]] and [[Monica Burns]]===<br />
Christmas for thirty year old romance writer, Julia Taylor is just plain not worth it. The excitement that used to surround Julia during the holidays has been replaced with a cool cynicism. The magic is gone. Faced with the loss of her publishing contract if she doesn't produce a blockbuster romance novel for her editor, she heads for Harrow Lodge, the home of her ancestor, the Grand Dame, in England. To finance her trip, she pawns a treasured heirloom that's been in the family even longer than Harrow Lodge. But the ghost of the Grand Dame has something else in store for Julia.<br />
<br />
Brock Maitland is not quite alive, nor is he dead. He's in that insufferable space, hovering on the brink of either state. Brock only has one chance to find his soul mate and make her love him, thus returning him to a mortal state. Now all he has left to do is convince Julia, the uptight, spinster romance author, that the magic she creates in her books can be found between them.<br />

<br />
<b>Seductive words, sinful pleasures and a ghostly ancestor all add up to A Bluestocking Christmas with a Dickens of a twist</b><br />
<br />
Miss Ivy Beecham is a bluestocking who has sworn off love, and she’s found the perfect place to hide from love. A library. Simon Carton, Viscount Wycombe, is an intellectual rogue who’s convinced all women can be bought.<br />
<br />
What neither of them counted on was finding love amid a stack of dusty books. Determined to win the reluctant bluestocking nymph, Simon seduces Ivy with words and other sinful pleasures. But despite the passion between them, Ivy refuses to risk her heart—at least not until the ghost of her ancestor visits her on Christmas Eve and helps Ivy see that her choices will affect the rest of her life. The question is will Ivy make the right choice.<br />

<br />
===Beneath The Mistletoe by [[Charlotte Featherstone]]===<br />
Holly Nightingale is a woman who has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. It's been eight years since the man she thought loved her left her without a word after kissing her passionately beneath the mistletoe.<br />
<br />
Andrew Carlyle has made his fortune in India and returned to England to claim the woman he has always wanted. But the Holly he knew is gone. In her place is a stranger with a delectably curvaceous body he can't stop desiring, and a steely resolve he hopes to breach. And he will, especially with the help of Holly's great-grandmother--The Grand Dame, not to mention his persuasive skill with the mistletoe.<br />
<br />
==Kind Of Magic by [[Charlotte Featherstone]] and [[Monica Burns]]==<br />
Christmas for thirty year old romance writer, Julia Taylor is just plain not worth it. The excitement that used to surround Julia during the holidays has been replaced with a cool cynicism. The magic is gone. Faced with the loss of her publishing contract if she doesn't produce a blockbuster romance novel for her editor, she heads for Harrow Lodge, the home of her ancestor, the Grand Dame, in England. To finance her trip, she pawns a treasured heirloom that's been in the family even longer than Harrow Lodge. But the ghost of the Grand Dame has something else in store for Julia.<br />
<br />
Brock Maitland is not quite alive, nor is he dead. He's in that insufferable space, hovering on the brink of either state. Brock only has one chance to find his soul mate and make her love him, thus returning him to a mortal state. Now all he has left to do is convince Julia, the uptight, spinster romance author, that the magic she creates in her books can be found between them.<br />

<br />
Half Bedouin, half English, the Viscount Blakeney has always been Sheikh Altair Mazir in his heart. A victim of prejudice from both cultures, he’s learned to trust no one. But a feisty American archeologist and the heat she ignites in him is about to change all that. And more.<br />

<br />
'''Sylvia Day Says Mirage Is Scorching'''<br />
<br />
With sexual tension as scorching as the desert the novel is set in, MIRAGE is the kind of historical romantic adventure I cut my teeth on and have been missing for years. Ms. Burns has written a cinematic, compelling, and highly recommended treat!<br />
<br />
''— Sylvia Day, nationally bestselling author''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Recommended Read'''<br />
<br />
The love scenes are emotion-filled and wonderfully erotic and Altair’s responses are enough to make your toes curl...her descriptions of the sight, sound and smell of Egypt transports the reader there, masterfully conveying the beauty of the culture and its people. I adored Mirage from beginning to end. (Read Review)<br />

Elegant prose, believable dialogue, and a suspenseful plot that will hold you spellbound make Mirage a jewel of the first order. If you are a fan of tortured, heroic male leads, independent heroines and exotic places...don't miss this one by the talented Ms. Burns.<br />

[http://www.monicaburns.com/BookVideoHIM.htm Book Video]<br />
<br />
<b>Seductive words, sinful pleasures and a ghostly ancestor all add up to A Bluestocking Christmas with a Dickens of a twist</b><br />
<br />
Miss Ivy Beecham is a bluestocking who has sworn off love, and she’s found the perfect place to hide from love. A library. Simon Carton, Viscount Wycombe, is an intellectual rogue who’s convinced all women can be bought.<br />
<br />
What neither of them counted on was finding love amid a stack of dusty books. Determined to win the reluctant bluestocking nymph, Simon seduces Ivy with words and other sinful pleasures. But despite the passion between them, Ivy refuses to risk her heart—at least not until the ghost of her ancestor visits her on Christmas Eve and helps Ivy see that her choices will affect the rest of her life. The question is will Ivy make the right choice.<br />

==Beneath The Mistletoe by [[Charlotte Featherstone]]==<br />
Holly Nightingale is a woman who has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. It's been eight years since the man she thought loved her left her without a word after kissing her passionately beneath the mistletoe.<br />
<br />
Andrew Carlyle has made his fortune in India and returned to England to claim the woman he has always wanted. But the Holly he knew is gone. In her place is a stranger with a delectably curvaceous body he can't stop desiring, and a steely resolve he hopes to breach. And he will, especially with the help of Holly's great-grandmother--The Grand Dame, not to mention his persuasive skill with the mistletoe. <br />
<br />
==Kind Of Magic by [[Charlotte Featherstone]] and [[Monica Burns]]==<br />
Christmas for thirty year old romance writer, Julia Taylor is just plain not worth it. The excitement that used to surround Julia during the holidays has been replaced with a cool cynicism. The magic is gone. Faced with the loss of her publishing contract if she doesn't produce a blockbuster romance novel for her editor, she heads for Harrow Lodge, the home of her ancestor, the Grand Dame, in England. To finance her trip, she pawns a treasured heirloom that's been in the family even longer than Harrow Lodge. But the ghost of the Grand Dame has something else in store for Julia.<br />
<br />
Brock Maitland is not quite alive, nor is he dead. He's in that insufferable space, hovering on the brink of either state. Brock only has one chance to find his soul mate and make her love him, thus returning him to a mortal state. Now all he has left to do is convince Julia, the uptight, spinster romance author, that the magic she creates in her books can be found between them.<br />

<br />
'''Behind the mask lies love-a dangerous and deadly emotion.'''<br />
<br />
Constance Athelson, Viscountess Westbury has a gift she can’t reveal. She sees things others can’t, including the dead. The only thing she can’t see is into the heart of Lucien Blakemore, Earl of Lyndham. After one blissful night in his arms, she knows if she’s ever to win his heart, she must free him from his tortured past.<br />
<br />
Lucien Blakemore met the Egyptian goddess Isis at a masked ball, but she vanished into the night before he could learn her real name. It’s just as well, since the Blakemore Curse makes love a dangerous and deadly emotion for him. But the erotic night he spent with his mysterious lover makes him want to throw caution aside-if only for one more night with his masked goddess.<br />
<br />
''This story features one of Sebastian Rockwood's younger sisters. Sebastian's story is told in my [[New Concepts Publishing ]]release, [[Obsession - Monica Burns|Obsession]]. The stories do not need to be read in any order.''<br />
