Carol Irvin, who also helped initiate our Pandora's
Box feature, stopped writing the Cover Column in spring
of 2000 and moved onto other pursuits wholly outside the
romance novel industry. If you'd like to contact her, you
may reach her at carolknowltonirvin@yahoo.com.
However, she has not continued to follow the models, artists,
writers and so forth in the romance novel genre. Thus, she
will not be able to help you with specific leads to those
currently working inside the romance novel industry. She
hopes you enjoy the articles she did write and and is glad
that she was able to contribute to the genre.
Radio Commentary first aired in February 2001 by CBC
columnist Alan Neal in which LLB and romance industry insiders
participated (realplayer audio and very fun to hear!)
