[...] by Robyn Grady, author of The Australian Millionaire’s Love-Child I’m a huge fan of contests! The year I sold, I was a finalist in 13. Had the FEEL THE HEAT competition been on offer, I’d have pulled out all the stops to be in the draw to work with a HMB editor for a year. What an amazing prize! [...]

I’m interested in how many submissions were received. I recall it was a mind-blowing 600+ last time around. I wonder whether we managed to band together and exceed that?

Best of luck everyone

First I just wanted thank the Modern Heat authors for their excellent
articles on writing these new modern romances.
Even though, ithe contest has ended, we aspiring writers need their
advice and input on writing romance fiction.

Well, I started out writing for the Modern Heat contest, but it didn’t
seem to jell. I am kicking myself that I didn’t stick with it.
But that hasn’t daunted me. I still want to be a Modern Heat Rising
Star. Now, that the pressure is off, I’ll take my time study and
writing Modern Heat romances.

Good Luck to those who submitteed.

I’ll do well to remember that, Robyn. Thank you for the advice (or rather, your dearest’s). And Sexy Sensation – I’ve logged that away for my next trip to the 2nd hand book store. I love their range of Harlequin novels. Covers the whole back wall

Thanks again,
Madeline

Hi Madeline,

my DH once told me there’s no such thing as a silly question (and it suits me to believe him.)

Modern Heat is Sexy Sensation downunder.

Enjoy your research and good luck with your entry,

Robyn

Hello all,

This may be a silly question, but are Modern Heat’s sold in Australia? I’ve not seen them (though I may simply have missed them in the bookstore). Are they sold under a different title, as most Harlequin novels are down here?

I desperately want to get my hands on a copy, not only for the flirtatious romance, but for research for the Mod Heat competition!

Thank you
Good luck to everyone planning to enter! I’m already feeling the heat

Modern Heats are one my favorite category romance series. What a great
chance for all aspiring writers to get the foot in the door
It also gives us chance to sharpen and hone our writing skills.

Since I have time, I am going to enter “Feel the Heat” Competition.

Ooh goody! A new novel to plan, with just enough time. And now that we have the feedback from the Instant Seduction competition, I think the standard might be a little higher from us all. It’ll be a tough decision choosing a winner this time
