Does anyone know if the Nascar Harlequin books are still being published?
I haven’t seen them anywhere around here but I started writing one a couple of years ago and now I’m finsihed with it and I want to try to get it published in that series if possible but does it still exist?
Yes, they’re still being published. You can see titles here: http://www.eharlequin.com/store.html?cid=600

These aren’t romances but you might like them: Motor Mouth by Janet Evanovich or St. Dale by Sharyn McCrumb.

I am writing a novel and I have yet to come up with an official title I’m happy with. I prefer pretentious titles and nothing cliché.
The plot for my novel is this: Jasper Erickson is a closeted gay husky-lynx anthro in NASCAR, and not quite a “real man” at heart from the perspectives of the other drivers. When promoted to the premiere series, he finds romance in rookie driver Brandon Reese, a fox who is pretty much everything Jasper wishes he was. But, how long can this romance go on until the press, let alone the other drivers, find out?
Your title should come directly out of your story, without revealing it. Take a single striking characteristic or element from your story and use it, or indicate an overall theme, though in using it for a title, use it vaguely enough so as to draw interest without telling the story on the cover of your novel.
Keep in mind what it is that piques the interest of a potential reader; it is, in order, the title, the cover art and the liner notes. Liner notes sometimes include a vague synopsis, and at other times only include reviews from recognized publications or authors in the same genre. Your title will go a long way to catching a reader’s eye, but it is only part of the equation.
Titles that are too wordy don’t look good in print. Keep it short.
Cover art that is too ‘busy’ appears visually erratic and makes a book appear to be possibly erratic in content. Keep it simple but eye-catching.
Chose the title yourself. Really. You know the story and what it’s about. You have intimate knowledge of the content. Only your title will convey what needs to be conveyed before the volume is opened. You can do it.
Last hint: Don’t title the work until it is complete. If you write the title before you’ve finished the work, the tendency will then be to write for the title, rather than letting the title come from the work.
Put the cart before the horse, and you increase the odds of having your @ss bitten.

It isn’t that “gayness” is streaming into NASCAR, it’s that people are realizing that NASCAR DOES have a gay fanbase.
I think its wonderful that your writing a book especially as diverse as that one sounds (I’m gay) and i think your right that Nascar does have a gay fanbase. Your title could be like “Trouble in Turn 1″ and show those two drivers together except not racing lol, otherwise im not really sure, however, good luck with your book!!!
