Intrigue has long been known as a line that produces successful miniseries by individual authors (The Colby Agency, 43 Light Street), continuity series by a group of authors (Kenner County Crime Unit, Montana Confidential, etc.), and ongoing theme series that get a special flash (such as Thriller or Man of Mystery). Readers love them. What have been some of your favorite miniseries or continuity series or theme series to work on? To read? Do you have one you're currently working on?

Julie Miller: Intrigue’s history of successful miniseries is one of the reasons I was so drawn to the line. As a reader, I looked forward to each installment of Rebecca York’s 43 Light Street, for example. Once I sold to Intrigue, my own miniseries--The Taylor Clan--was launched. I hadn’t planned it to be a miniseries—I was just writing what I loved to read. Terrific heroes, a close-knit family, emotionally complex characters. When I wrote that first book, One Good Man, I wanted the hero, Mitch Taylor, to be part of a big family tradition--in sharp contrast to the heroine Casey Maynard’s isolation--to show just how much she needed that hero in her life to keep her safe. Once I’d written my way through all 7 of the Taylors, I spun off my current ongoing series, The Precinct. I love creating a community of characters. Even with stand-alone stories, I still get a depth of character and history because my heroes and heroines all share a common city and work environment with the cops of KCPD. Right now, I’m finishing up my 11th Precinct book, Beauty and the Badge, which will be out in December of this year.  I’ve also worked on several Intrigue continuity series with other authors. Probably my favorites were Big Sky Bounty Hunters and this year’s Kenner County Crime Unit.

Rita Herron: This last year I worked on the Kenner County Crime Unit series--my favorite part of this series was the focus on the crime lab.  I've also had two different series of my own. First, the Nighthawk Island series, a medically based series set around a research park off the coast of Savannah. I loved writing this series because it allowed me to write darker, edgier story lines. My husband works in pharmaceutical research so we had fun using his background to add to the mystery.  With the Harlequin anniversary, they want to emphasize the basic family hooks so I'm writing another series called Guardian Angel Investigations. These stories are emotional, mystery suspense stories, all of which pertain to missing children. How can missing children not steal your heart? And another favorite series I've worked on is the Silver Star of Texas mini-series -- these books revolve around sexy Texas Rangers, and have been a fun and challenging experience because I've had the pleasure of working with two of my favorite Intrigue authors, Delores Fossen and Rickey Mallory. We chat on line and meet at conferences to plan the three connected books!

B.J. Daniels:  Series are always fun. I even did one about Bigfoot. But my favorite is my current Whitehorse, Montana series. It started off with only six books and has grown to 18 books so far. I love going back to Whitehorse, a small town in Montana that is located in the same part of Montana where I live. I weave in the area's history and have fun with my fictional reoccurring families. I love the many mysteries there continue to turn up in Whitehorse. :) This month, the Corbett brothers arrive in Whitehorse for the first of five books (Shotgun Bride), with the others following May, June, Sept. and Oct. But that is only the beginning. Get ready for the Winchesters of Whitehorse!

Patricia Rosemoor: My April book, Rescuing the Virgin, is the final installment in the The McKenna Legacy, a series I actually started in 1996. I created a family tree of 9 siblings/cousins and thought I would do a book for each. I was told simply to write 3 of them by my then editor, and then to write something else. But publishing my editor eventually realized my McKenna books were very popular and so asked me to write another. In the meantime I had other projects, other series. But readers wanted more McKennas. I continually got reader mail asking me when this or that cousin would have a story. So now that I've finally written about all nine, my editor asked me to continue with a new branch of McKennas. So, The McKenna Legacy, Family Secrets, will begin in August as part of the Intrigue 25th Anniversary celebration. I don't mind. I love the McKennas with their various psychic gifts. I'm a McKenna -- or my maternal grandmother was -- so there's something special for me about this series, as well.

Paula Graves: The series that got me hooked on Intrigues was Gayle Wilson's Phoenix Brotherhood series. After reading the first couple of books, I was hooked. This was the kind of story I wanted to read--and write. It took several years and a few false starts, but I finally got my wish in 2005 when I sold my first book, Forbidden Territory, to Harlequin Intrigue.

Mallory Kane: I love all the mini-series! I've worked on two of the Confidential series -- New Orleans and Miami. They're always fun. And I've had my own mini-series called Ultimate Agents, that lasted for six books. In 2009, I have a three-book mini-series coming out in September, October and November of 2009, called Black Hills Brotherhood. I'm really excited about them. They're suspense thrillers that feature three men bound by a vow they made as children. They're on a mission, with the fate of the free world at stake. I can't wait to see them on the shelves.

Sylvie Kurtz: I've enjoyed the Man of Mystery flashed book. Discovering what's behind the mask the hero wears adds something extra to the story. Honor of a Hunter was the last of my Seekers series. But a few ideas are brewing, and who knows, Harper and Bryn might get their own stories one day. What I like about series is the chance to revisit old characters and see what's happened to them after they got their happy ending.

Joanna Wayne: Cowboy Commando, March 09--I love series and have participated in so many I'm not sure I can remember them all. There is no way I could pick a favorite, but some I particularly loved were Texas Confidential, New Orleans Confidential, Moriah's Landing and Mists of Fernhaven. It would be equally as difficult to say which of my own series I liked best, but some of my favorite were Family Ties, Four Brothers of Colts Run Cross and my current series, Special Ops, Texas. One of the reasons I'm so enjoying writing the Special Ops series is that I'm in total awe of the bravery and sacrifices of our American servicemen. My heroes in all the Special Ops series are not only former Special Ops guys but cowboys at heart. It doesn't get any better than that. Cowboy Commando, the first book in the series came out in March. The next, Cowboy to the Core comes out in August.  And for those of you who've asked, yes, there will be one more Colts Run Cross book when Jaime gets her man!
