Carina Press is an imprint of Harlequin. Below is what Preditors and Editors says about Harlequin. In all fairness, most of this mess (except the entry for July 21, 2012 regarding complaints on royalty payments) was several years back, (2009) but we all need to check publishing companies out thoroughly.

From "Preditors and Editors":


Harlequin Enterprises: Not recommended. A book publisher.

11/17/09: Harlequin becomes vanity publisher. Though they call it self-publishing, it will be under their Harlequin Horizons imprint and hence qualifies as vanity.

11/19/09: Mystery Writers of America (MWA) asks Harlequin for an answer about Harlequin's recent activities while indicating that MWA recognition of Harlequin is at stake.

11/19/09: Romance Writers of America (RWA) says no to Harlequin special status.

11/20/09: Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) says no to Harlequin's vanity activities.

21 Jul 12 - Harlequin Enterprises being sued in a class action case involving ebook royalties by several authors. Here's a link to the complaint.

And the rejection came today. A bit sad about it. Had a good feeling. Oh well.
