I haven't read the Shinn books; [livejournal.com profile] chamaeleoncat also recommended them.

I briefly encountered the web journal when initially looking for infortmation, but had forgotten about it. Thank you for the reminder.

Have you heard of the Luna imprint? It's a division of Harlequin focused on selling sf&f with a current of romance. I've not read a lot of the line, but a few are interesting--I'd particularly recommend Laura Anne Gilman's Retrievers series, set in current-day NYC with magic. A lot of the imprint seems to be pseudo-medieval, which really doesn't work for me anymore, but Gilman's and the books of a couple of others do.

And, duh: as a publishing pheonomenon responding to the interest in romance in SF, the recent development of Luna is worth note.

I hadn't heard of the Luna imprint - and it is indeed helpful - and supportive of my hypothesis that this is a fairly recent development, albeit with longer-term roots.
