But I did. I had to stop blogging until I’d got through a nasty job. It’s done. I’m back. But guess what? The writing world moved on while I was away.

Apparently hundreds of outlets will be closed over the next year.
Meanwhile Torstar, the company the produces Harlequin romances, is finding the recession and the adjustment to e-books a challenge. The high Canadian dollar is killing their margins in American sales. But don’t worry, they’re still making money and the e-book sales are rising steadily.
But better yet, tune in here tomorrow to find out who followed my lead into e-books and is now way ahead.
