Their Hard Case Crime imprint might move to another publisher. I wish the other imprints had that option! (Some of the established romance backlist was already picked up by Avon in a deal several months ago, but the new authors will be hurting. :( )

My local Wal-Mart stocks a lot of their Westerns. Now that section will be like a brackish pool. The romance section will be hurting, too.

I will buy their e-books, though. Recently, Leisure was selling some of their e-books for $2.99 and less, and I bought several titles. Maybe they were trying to get new readers this way. I sure hope it works because I don’t want to see even more choices going away.
