The Incredible Collection Of Lacey Dancer Writing

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.

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 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.

Lacey is an accomplished romance writer and has been published by Meteors under the Kismet series. This is a category that specializes in romance and has been in production for years now. Another of her series is Pippa that is the latest in her writing career. It is the last in the line that would have been published by Meteor had they not folded their operations.

It was difficult for Dancer to deal with the closure of Meteor in the middle of her writing career. One of the challenges was finding a publisher for Many Faces of Love, a novel that was in line. The closure left the title orphaned. Meteor had not published it by the time they closed shops.

Having no publisher for her books, Lacey turned around the predicament and formed her own publishing company called Clear Ice Publishing. This also solved the problem of acceptance. Other publishers were reluctant to publish the work of a 40 year old writer among their romance novels. They considered her too old for the genre. It is her company that would release the rest of the books to masses in paperback. This would change her career for good.

The books published under the name Sara Chance were released from 1983 to 1989. Several books were published under this name as single novels and as a series entitled Southern Comfort. Among the titles in this category were Double Solitaire, Fire in the night and Her Golden Eyes. The Southern Comfort is a collection of three books written in the years 1988 and 1989.

As Sydney Ann Clary, Lacey Dancer wrote three single novels titled Misfit Match, Undercover Affair and The Duchess and the Devil. It is in the 1990s and beyond that she started writing under her real name. She produced ten novels and the St. James saga as a series. Her latest work was published in 2003 under the name Many Faces of Love. Over thirty books are credited to her.
