Among the accomplished American romantic novelists is Lacey Dancer who was born in 1948. Her specialization is the historical and contemporary romance which she has written for decades. Over this time, the novels have been published in three other names which are Sydney Ann Clary, Sara Chance and Carr Sherry. Her writing career began in 1983 and has been on the run ever since.
Because of her prowess, numerous institutions have recognized her work. Among them is the Romantic Times which gave her a Romantic Times Career Achievement medal of 1991-1992. This was because of her work in the series Romance Love and Laughter. Another award by the same institution is the Career Achievement award delivered in 1996. The series that was recognized this time was Romantic Adventure.
The conquest of the novel genre by Dancer is described by the Romantic Times as Dazzling. The stories are richly intense and made up of fascinating characters. About the plot, the editor calls it creatively imaginative, sharp and irresistible. It is the kind of romance that is driven by suspense. This style of writing is bound to glue the reader to every word until the end of the novel.
Her original work was published by Meteor in a romantic series called Kismet. This series had been running for years. The last series in collections delivered by Meteor was Pippa and would be the last before the company closed business. This was a turning point for a writer who previously had no trouble publishing.
The closure of Meteor, who was her publisher, presented a challenge to the writer because her works had to find a new home. This was especially challenging for such a novel as Many Faces of Love. This book is considered as an orphaned title because it was left unpublished when the earlier publisher stopped operations.
With no publisher, Dancer took this as an opportunity to establish her publishing firm. This was also fueled by the realization that at her age, she would find it difficult to convince publishers about her Romance genre. It was not common to find a writer in Romance who was that old. She formed Clear Ice Publishing which released large volumes of the rest of her novels in paperback form. This set her career on a different trajectory.
Between 1983 and 1989, she released several titles under the name Sara Chance. They were in the series referred to as Southern Comfort while the rest were single novels. Some of the books include Her Golden Eyes, Fire in the Night and Double Solitaire. Under the series Southern Comfort, three books were released in the two years of 1988 and 1989.
The other names used by Lacey Dancer in writing were Sydney Ann Clary. This allowed her to write three novels entitles Misfit Match, The Duchess and the Devil and Undercover Affair. From the 1990s, she decided to use her real name in publishing her work. This led to a series called St. James Saga as well as a collection of ten other novels. The last book available by this author is Many Faces of Love that was released in 2003. It forms the collection that is now beyond thirty books.
