Another factor that's going to prohibit Bombshells from getting shelved outside of romance is that they've still got very romance packaging -- they have a distinct brand identity, and the authors aren't particularly promoted *on the covers* as individuals, and they have women and couples in romance glamor-shots, if more *active* romance glamor-shots than other lines.
That's interesting. What I'm wondering is where the new Tor Paranormal line is going to be shelved. Paranormal romance author Mary Janice Davidson, with a book that was published as a Paranormal, is doing really, really well in our store (although it's been pointed out that it could easily have been published by Ace, and no one reading it would have blinked, because it's not strictly speaking a paranormal).
