An Opportunity
I don’t know much about Tor, but there seem to be a few publishing opportunities at the publisher if you’re looking for a home for your book. Go here to check it out.
And, in light of the books the editor is looking for, when was the last time you saw a Hanukkah book? I’m serious. We actually looked for one to review for PBR last December and came up empty. We found a novella in a holiday anthology, but that was it. Anyone have a good romance or chick lit centered on a Jewish heroine or hero? I’d be interested to check it out just because it’s not something I see all the time.
By the way, Kyra Davis’ books don’t count because I already know about her and loved her first book (am waiting very impatiently for her next release). Anyone else?

Well, I wrote a Blaze (LICK & A PROMISE) that had a Jewish heroine. It was odd, too, because the nice folks at Harlequin seemed, I don’t know, like it was a big deal. I didn’t see it that way at all. Maybe because I’m Jewish, and it was comfortable to write about her.

Well Jennifer Weiner and Susan Issacs both have Jewish heroines. I honestly haven’t read much Issacs, but I love Weiner’s stuff.

The Aunts and the Dove at Ellora’s Cave has Orthodox Jews as the main characters. I remember it being fairly interesting.

There’s a really old Judith Arnold American Romance about Hannukah. Yeah, totally out-of-print, but you know me — always useless!
