 Some authors are still getting serious advances.
 The teaser on their blog seems to be gone.

 Wow! Good compensation! On the other hand, never heard of them. I'd better
get started on my own magnum opus to rake in those figures as well! ;)

 We have certainly talked about them here many times.  They are excellent.
 

 Is it romance? In that case, not my thing.

Yeah, I am truly not a romance fan myself, yet their Kate Daniels books and Innkeeper books don't feel romance-centered to me. If you are even more sensitive to romance cooties than I am, they may not work for you, but I do recommend trying the first Kate Daniels book out if you're at all interested in trying their work.

Thank you for the description. I am indeed sensitive to romance cooties, so I think I'll have to pass on this one and return to my Vernor Vinge short story collection that I am currently reading. =)
