Hey Kelly ... here's a Google page with a bit about romance novels. The figure they mention is even lower than what I remember! I did a lot of research on this a couple years back, so I was probably thinking of the "thick" romance novels and not the Harlequins.

Read through everything on Holly Lisle's site. She has some great info. Warning, it may leave you really discouraged if you don't know a lot of this already.

I also read a lot of the Writer's Digest stuff. They come out with several guides to markets each year. These are essential for any writer. The library always has their books -- go check out some of their stuff.

That's a good starting point. I wouldn't do much more research at this point about marketing and advances and agents right now ... I'd just write, and if you happen to end up with something you think you can sell, at that point you can delve more into the technical details.
