Ginger Chambers



Ginger Chambers’ writing specialty is Contemporary Romance.  She’s been writing and selling romances for most of her adult life. First for Dell Publishing and then for Harlequin.  “I’ve always been a romantic,” Ginger says. “And I read hundreds and hundreds of romances before starting to write. I truly do love romance!” 
   
Of Ginger’s 33 plus books,  she wrote one Candlelight (sweet) Romance, three Candlelight Ecstasy (spicy) romances, four Candlelight Ecstasy Supreme romances (longer versions of the Ecstasy romances), eleven Harlequin American romances, two books in the highly popular Welcome to Tyler series--the first continuity series Harlequin created--(written by different authors, with a single mystery running throughout twelve books), two books in the follow-up continuity series, Hometown Reunion (also set in Tyler), and ten Superromances, seven of which were Ginger’s own continuity series within Superromance, The West Texans. Three of Ginger’s Superromances were also re-edited and re-published by Harlequin for their new Heartwarming series.

Coming soon on Ink Jockeys: Ginger Chambers venture into e-publishing. “I’ve found it so sad over the years that series books have had such a short shelf life. But now, with the advent of e-publishing, series writers are able to bring their past books to life again. How wonderful for both readers and writers!”

  1. Yes, I love it that series books don't have to go away after only a month!

  2. Me, too! Love series books, and I love it that I can go back now and pick up the ones I missed when they first came out. I think Harlequin put up most of their backlist now. I know they definitely have all of my Intrigues on Kindle. :-) --Dana

  3. Yes, I'm glad my Intrigue back list is now available. Of course, I wish I had control of it!

  4. I totally agree, Ginger. I did get three of my early Superromances back and recently had the pages scanned into digital so they'll be up soon, but they still have more titles that I can't seem to get back. And like Dana said, it's nice to be able to read your friends' and favorite writers' earlier books.

  5. I was able to get more than a few of mine back, and two of those backlist titles will be in the Book Derby coming up next Wed & Thurs!

  6. I agree, Ginger. A month just isn't long enough for readers to find all the great books that are out there. I actually wrote a follow-up to one of my older Harlequin Intrigues, and thanks to e-publishing will finally be able to make it available.

  7. Ruth and Dana: As I said in the blog, I was a reader before I became a writer. When I started writing, I had to cut back drastically on my reading time. So I missed a lot of books by my favorite authors. Now, if the author publishes her backlist, I can add them to my Kindle and have them forever! Wonderful!

  8. Connie, I've been able to get back several of my Superromances as well. Phew! Like pulling teeth! Mine have been scanned to digital too. Now all I have to do is find the time to publish them! Be sure to let Ink Jockeys know when you get yours up.

  9. Patricia...terrific! Did you see that, visitors? Two of Patricia's backlist Superromances will be in the BookDerby next week. That means FREE and 99c books. Keep watching Ink Jockeys for more news!

  10. Jenna: Writing a follow-up to an Intrigue and e-pubbing it yourself has to be the greatest feeling. And just think how happy hearing about this will make your readers! Be sure to let Ink Jockeys know when it's up at Amazon, etc.

  11. Of course there's no chance of getting my Moon books back from Berkley, but I've written two new ones as part of my Decorah Security series. I wonder how many werewolves I can have working for the company?

  12. I'm behind as always, Ginger. I will definitely be letting Ink Jockeys know when my follow-up's up. Before that happens, though, I'll need a whole lot of help and advice from everyone.

  13. LOL, Rebecca, and cheers for the two new Moon books!

  14. I'll be right there with you, Jenna, as I work to get my first two ebooks up on Amazon, etc. I can't wait...but I'm a little nervous about the process. Together, with a little help from our friends, we'll do it!
