The Incredible Collection Of Lacey Dancer Works

By Rachael Gutierrez


Lacey Dancer is a renowned American author who was born in 1948. She specializes in historical and contemporary romance literature and has written widely under various names. Some of the names she authored under include Sydney Ann Clary, Sara Chance and Sherry Carr. She has written under her real name as well since starting her work in 1983.

With a growing reputation, Lacey has won a number of awards including Romantic Times Career Achievement that was awarded to her between the year 1991 and 1992. This was for a series of novels she had written under the name Romance Love and Laughter. The second award from Romantic Times came in 1996. This was under the Career Achievement category for the series titled Romantic Adventure.

The words used by Romantic Times depict an author who has mastered her genre. They describe the work as richly intense and dazzling. She manages to give the readers the best characters who make the story fascinating. According to the editor, the work is creative, sharp, imaginative and irresistible. She manages to play around with suspense ensuring that the reader is glued to the book up to the last chapter.

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 challenge of not having an available publisher would change the career of Dancer. She was faced with the dilemma of an unpublished book under the title Many Faces of Love. This explains why it was referred to as the orphaned title. It was in the process of production when Meteor wound up.

The challenge of not having a publisher presented Dancer with an opportunity to create her own publishing company. Her difficulty was finding a publisher for a Romance author who was over 40 years old. That age was not common in the genre of romance which made it very challenging for her. The company that she formed was called Clear Ice Publishing. This company managed to release her novel to masses in the form of paperback. It is considered as redemption to her writing career.

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.
