Our Harlequin Books Youtube channel is packed with book trailers, interviews and behind the scenes features. Take a look at two videos this week: How to Be an English Gentleman from Mills & Boon, and Getting the Call with Jennifer Drogell (Jennifer Hayward.)

If you want to be the perfect English romantic hero, there are a few things to remember: keep cool, dress appropriately —and avoid quail! Check out the full list of requirements in this "instructional" video from Mills & Boon on How to Be an English Gentleman.

One of the biggest career thrills for a Harlequin editor is the moment she calls a debut author to offer her a publishing contract with Harlequin.
In just a short time one of our editors will be making the call to let our So You Think You Can Write 2014 winner know she's been selected from hundreds of other authors to be the recipient of the ultimate publishing prize. Last year Tanya Wright received that call for her Harlequin Kiss book, If Only… And in 2012 our winner was Jennifer Drogell (Hayward), author of The Divorce Party.
Share the excitement as Mills & Boon Senior Executive Editor Joanne Grant calls Jennifer to tell her the good news.

I spent the entire shutdown working. Had no time to wind down. I didn’t see my son much when school shutdown. My one co worker was told to stay home for 3 weeks so I picked up her hours. This year has been really crappy.
Ugh, Janell. Here’s hoping the rest of your summer is better.
Thanks for the info, Carol! Everyone is different in how they deal with the shutdown! I stay at home all the time since I don’t work so I haven’t been too effected but my shopping and errands sure have been effected!
Valri, I’ve been doing most of my shopping online. My local Target is still low on some items – mostly cleaning supplies. Grocery store is pretty much back to normal. Most of the dining in our town is outdoor. I can’t imagine have school-age kids!
Wow–getting your creative process on track must have been daunting–especially with “extra-large dog” glad to have you home. You don’t like coffee–I love coffee and have enjoyed my fortifying 2 cups in the morning even more than usual! How as COVID affected your story lines and characterizations? Best Wishes for all releases!
Interesting question, Virginia. You’ll have to tell me if the tone of my “COVID” books changed any! LOL
Life has changed so much! My dad passed Feb 2. The assisted living facility my folks were at went into hardcore lockdown the beginning of March. Mom couldn’t leave her apartment for 4 months! She was on the third floor, Will be 89 in two months & doesn’t use the phone. My husband and I remodeled the lower level completely and moved her in with us July 1. What a life change and difficult transition for the 3 of us! But we’re working thru it!
