Created and hosted by the editors, authors and other personnel behind Harlequin's various imprints, ParanormalRomanceBlog.com is the first such site dedicated solely to the genre. "There are blogs dedicated to paranormal fiction and others committed to romance novels but there was no forum devoted strictly to paranormal romance. Now there's somewhere a fan can go to discuss the love a woman might have for a vampire or alien or werewolf," says Jenny Bullough, Manager of Digital Content and Interactivity. "We created the blog because we are all avid fans of paranormal romance novels-it just so happens that we work or write for a publisher. It may be called Harlequin's Paranormal Romance Blog but we encourage posts, comments and discussion about paranormal romances by any author or publisher."
Editors, authors and readers exchange ideas and opinions and engage in friendly, passionate discussions about the paranormal romance genre. Editors and authors explain the allure of the supernatural and the forbidden-such as the eternal magnetism of vampires. Readers are encouraged to weigh in to the discussions with their likes and dislikes about paranormal romance books and- as some of the individuals writing and shaping the stories are hosting the blog-perhaps even help shape the plots and themes of future paranormal romance novels.
Paranormal romance is one of the fastest growing genres in fiction. In October 2006 Harlequin Enterprises Ltd. Launched Silhouette Nocturne, a new romance series dedicated to paranormal romance. To date Nocturne has enjoyed tremendous success, with two Nocturne titles appearing on the NYT Bestseller list, in addition to numerous bestselling paranormal romance novels by prominent authors such as Brenda Joyce, Gena Showalter, and Susan Krinard from their HQN and MIRA imprints.
