So I’m guest blogging today as we approach a momentous milestone (is there any other kind?) for Silhouette Desire—March will see the publication of Desire’s 2000th title! From June 1982, when we started with Corporate Affair by Stephanie James (click through, you’ll be tickled when you see who that actually is!), to our 1000th book milestone Man of Ice, by the inestimable Diana Palmer in 1996, to our 2000th book today—Hot Westmoreland Nights by Brenda Jackson, and boy, are they ever. Nobody does a sexy, strong, honorable man’s man like Brenda Jackson. Her heroes truly embody the spirit of the Desire man. And, um, speaking of bodies…
A little known secret—the talented young director behind this video? Brenda’s very own son! It’s not surprising that an author with such a talented family creates such talented families! Brenda’s known for the Westmoreland clan—dynamic, successful and prolific! But fortunately for all of us readers, Brenda uncovered a whole Westmoreland family out West—rife with family secrets of their own. Starting with Westmoreland’s Way and now on to Hot Westmoreland Nights, we meet rancher Ramsey Westmoreland, who finds himself breaking all kinds of rules when sexy Chloe Burton moves in.
And, though this might embarrass Brenda, since we are talking about Desire through the years, I thought I’d end with a little blast from the past—Brenda back in 1989, a mere 7 years after Desire began, as a “writer wannabe” at a writers conference in Texas! Click the link to see what was on shelves from Desire back then!
Editor’s Note: Thanks to Krista for this excellent post about Silhouette Desire’s 2000th title! Be sure to check back on Monday morning for a new blog entry by Brenda Jackson herself!
