Silhouette Launches Nocturne Bites

TORONTO, May 1 PRNewswire — Harlequin Enterprises Limited, one of the world's leading publishers of women's fiction, today launched Silhouette Nocturne Bites, romantically charged paranormal short stories available exclusively in the eBook format. In just 10,000 — 15,000 words these darkly dramatic and sensual short stories pack all the passion and plot readers expect from full-length Silhouette Nocturne novels. Regularly priced at $2.99 U.S., Nocturne Bites are being introduced at a special price of 99ΒΆ each from their May 1 launch until the end of the month.

"These dark, sexy paranormal short stories are convenient, easily accessible and the perfect length for the discerning woman in today's busy lifestyle," says Tara Gavin, Senior Executive Editor for Silhouette Nocturne. "In addition to being compact, they still contain imaginative and engaging premises, well-constructed plots and believable characters. Furthermore, they build upon the tremendous popularity of the Silhouette Nocturne series and the success of Spice Briefs-digital erotic short stories by Spice Books authors."

Silhouette Nocturne Bites launches with Racing The Moon by Michele Hauf and will feature some of the best-known authors of paranormal romance fiction, including Lisa Renee Jones, Karen Whiddon Vivi Anna and Lori Devoti.

Many of the elements that make a Silhouette Nocturne book successful remain true for the Nocturne Bites series. They deliver dark, highly sensual reads that entertain readers and pull them from everyday life into an atmospheric, complex and contemporary world filled with vampires, shape-shifters, werewolves, psychics, humans and other creatures struggling with life-and-death issues.

Beginning with one new title per month, Silhouette Nocturne Bites stories are available in all eBook formats (including Adobe PDF, Microsoft Reader, Mobipocket, Palm and Sony) and can be downloaded through eHarlequin.com and all other eRetailers.

Silhouette Nocturne Bites is also looking to acquire paranormal editorial. Potential authors should check guidelines and submission details at www.eHarlequin.com.

Already an industry front-list leader in eBooks, Harlequin is at the leading edge of digital publishing, offering approximately 100 new titles every month in eBook format and regularly topping the eBook bestseller lists.

Silhouette Nocturne began publishing in October 2006 and releases two titles monthly.
