Also, for what it's worth, I've seen some of their books in Borders. (I can't remember if I've seen them in Barnes & Noble or in small stores.) I don't know what the sales are, though. I haven't bought any yet because I'm unfamiliar with the authors, and I don't like paying trade paperback prices to buy a small press romance. Keep in mind that many other romance readers are just as reluctant to buy trade paperbacks, even the ones put out by big name publishers.
Still, at least they're getting books in some stores, and they are a respectable small press in the field. Also, their guidelines and pet peeves make it clear that they're know what they're looking for. I was psyched to see that they want authors to do their research and avoid headhopping. They don't pay an advance, but that's common for romance small presses. (And for small presses in general, I believe.) I don't know if they're one of the "RWA-recognized small presses as I can't find that !#$% list anymore.
OTOH I noticed a typo on their web page, right in the navigation bar. F.A.Q. is spelled F,A.Q., and it's glaring to my eyes. Yeah, I know everyone makes misteaks , but a publishing company has to be particularly careful. When I see something like that on their navigation bar, I wonder how the editing in their books is going to be.
