Stunned, simply stunned. I’m so totally surprised to hear this. I sensed that HP would be bought, but, I’d just assumed it would be purchased by another Christian publisher, not Harlequin! See more details about this here. Literary Agent Steve Laube blogged about it. You can find the press release here. What are your thoughts about this news? Are you just as shocked as I am? Leave a comment!
Surprised, I guess, because I thought the Heartsongs Presents imprint was simply going to fade away. So it’s nice that it will get new life, even if the backlist isn’t included. Will be interesting to see how Harlequin brings it into the fold.
Yes, it will be interesting to see what happens after June. I know that they’ll still be issuing the contracted 2012 books for the first half of the year, after that, who knows….
