The Incredible Collection Of Lacey Dancer

By Rachael Gutierrez


The name Lacey Dancer is mentioned alongside the great romantic writers in America. She was born after the Second World War in 1948. Her specialization is contemporary romance and historical novels. Over her writing career that spans several decades, her novels have been published under different names. Publishers have used such names as Sherry Carr, Sara Chance and Sydney Clary Ann. Her writing began in 1983 with several books in her real name.

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 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.

The original publisher of the work by Lacey was Meteor. They released the novels under the series Kismet. This was a romance category that had been running for years. The other series under which her work was produced is Pippa and was prominent in her late years as a writer. This category was her last engagement before the publisher folded up.

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.

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.

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.
