Eleanor announced two weeks ago we’d be redesigning eHarlequin.com.

Now we’re ready for you to see it! To celebrate the launch of our fabulous new look we’ve put together a Makeover Sale and a little how-to video on navigating all of the new sections, so be sure to check out the video here. Stop by today!

And, of course, we wouldn’t be Harlequin if we didn’t want to hear from our readers, so please let us know what you think of the redesign (and tell us if you spot any errors…we’re not perfect, but we tried really hard!) on the eHarlequin Community.

by Eleanor Elliot, Director of eHarlequin.com & Internet

Did you know that eHarlequin.com has been around for over ten years? I started working at Harlequin just before eHarlequin.com launched—it’s hard to believe ten years can go by so quickly.

Over the years, the site’s look has been freshened up a few times—but we haven’t had a real makeover since 2005, so it was time! We’ve been working behind the scenes since the Fall of 2009, and we’re almost ready to flip the switch to the new look. Coming at the end of the month, you’ll see our new design, but I thought it might be fun to give a quick sneak preview…

You’ll see that the site is now organized into 4 sections: Book Store, eBook Store, Harlequin Extras and Community.

Each of those buttons opens into a drop-down menu so you can find exactly what you’re looking for.

Our goal with this redesign was to make our books the ’stars’ of the site—and I think the color scheme really allows the vibrant artwork to shine through. I hope you’ll agree!

We haven’t removed any features—you can still find all the Online Reads, Writing Resources, and Contests in our Extras section, and of course, our Community is still the best place to connect with other readers just like you!

And we wouldn’t be eHarlequin.com without a great sale to go along with our makeover, so stay tuned at the end of this month for our new look, and our Makeover Sale!

I don’t know about you, but Winter gets me down. The weather is cold and bleak. And why does it feel like Spring is eons away!? (Maybe because it is…)

But one thing I can appreciate about the cold weather is the excuse to stay in, get under a cozy blanket (or Snuggie) and read a great book! And not just any great book, but a story where I know that whatever happens, happiness will ensue! Yes, I’m one of “those people.” I admit that I like happy endings. Whatever makes the grey blah days seem brighter, right?

That’s what I love about our books. I can pick up a paranormal story or a heartwarming romance or even something with a little (or a lot) of sizzle and no matter what, there will be a happy ending! I like to think we have an invisible “Happily Ever After” stamp on all of our books!

If you need help finding your next great book, check out our Happily Ever After feature this month. I promise that you’ll find a happy ending with all of these stories! And to sweeten the pot (and help you stock up), I’m happy to offer a free featured book when you buy 3. That’s 4 books for the price of 3!
