A rose by any other name . . .

How do the rose lines differ? What can we expect from each line, and what makes them unique?

ENGLISH TEA ROSE

Tarah Scott is here to tell us about the English Tea Rose.
The Rose lines differ by time and place. Aside from great writing, what makes them unique is continuity of theme and size of book. This gives the reader an up front idea of what they're getting when they open up a particular Rose.
English Tea Roses are historical romances set anywhere but America. Here you'll find swashbucking, high adventure, with sexy men who aren't afraid of strong women.
I write classical sultry historicals with lots of intrigue, unexpected twists, and plenty of heat between our sometimes unwilling lovers.

AMERICAN ROSE

Sarita Leone is writing for the American Rose.

Cactus Rose

The Cactus Rose line represents all the passion, romance and adventure of the Old West. When lawlessness reigned supreme, here you'll find your healthy doses of saints and sinners. I am proud to represent the Cactus Rose line. I've been an Old West aficionado since I was a kid. In a time when these jewels are becoming scarcer in mainstream publishing, it's nice to know there are publishers that still recognize the demand (and love) for these stories.

VINTAGE ROSE

Marty Kindall, tell us about the Vintage Rose.
The lines differ by time and place, of course, and all reflect the "tenor" of their time. For Vintage Rose stories, you're talking about the first real burst of freedom for women, so look out for heroines breaking barriers as well as hearts. You also span two World Wars that touched lives in a variety of ways--battle-tested heroes with strong convictions came out of that era. Add in other events like Prohibition, the Roaring '20s, and new technology...it's a very exciting place to be!
I'm lucky, in that I currently have the line almost to myself. All of my stories are set in the same southern town, so if you find yourself tangled up, you can stay for a little while longer. I promise an exciting 'ride' as a part of this series...

YELLOW ROSE

Stacy Dawn represents the Yellow Rose line.
The Yellow Rose line is all about today's cowboys. There is just something about a hunky man in cowboy boots and a Stetson--strong, sure of themselves, and just a little on the ornery side.
These stories are all about strong contemporary cowboys and the women who can corral their wild hearts. From ranches to small towns, Texas to Alaska, they are heartwarming, fast-paced western love stories that get our hearts two-stepping.

BOOTLEGGERS BRIDE


by
Marty Kindall


Buckle your seat-belt. Grace McAfee Currie is on a mission--to make up for lost time, and lost love.

Hoping to escape her controlling family and rekindle a romance all at the same time, she sets in motion a chain of events that spiral out of her control.

WWI vet Aidan Palmer is jolted out of his disillusionment when he reconnects with Grace.

In order to find the future they crave, they outwit her ambitious brother, risk their lives, and face an uncertain future in an exciting new world.

Hi everyone!

I'm Crystal Jordan, and I write for the Scarlet Rose Line of The Wild Rose Press. Basically, that makes me the naughty one of the bunch.

Fun fact about me: in real life, I'm a librarian.

I'm Tarah Scott. I write Scottish historicals. I love reading--big surprise! My favorite author is Charles Dickens. ROFL. I know, I'm predictable. I love Beatrice Small too. What's not to love about the Queen of Sizzle?

Hi, I'm Marly Mathews and I'm published in historical, contemporary, and fantasy paranormal romance. I'm the faery rose author in The Legacy of the Celtic Brooch series. I'll be bringing a little bit of magic and pixie dust to the stories. :) I will also be writing the last story in the series, tentatively titled Journey's End. I guess you can call me lucky thirteen. LOL

I'm excited to be a part of this blog and to be in such wonderful company.

~Marly

Hi, I'm Marty Kindall, and I'm your series author for the Vintage Rose line. I have two other works with TWRP Vintage Rose, and if you liked those, you'll see some familiar faces in this upcoming novella, "Bootlegger's Bride."

When I'm not writing, I'm an administrator at an art college, where I also teach history part-time.

Howdy, y'all!

I'm Stacy Dawn and I write contemporary romance with a kick of humor. I'll be roping you into the Yellow Rose line with a hot, hunky cowboy.

I met my husband when he was dressed in a shirt and tie and fell in love with him on our second date...when he wore a pair of cowboy boots and picked me up in his truck.

Hi, I'm Karyna DaRosa. I represent the Cactus Rose line for The Wild Rose Press. I primarily write historical western romances. Though I also have a contemporary suspense in the works. To me, the Old West is the quintessential period for sweeping romance and adventure. That is the genre I will always come back to.

Hi, I'm Karen Duvall. I'm a Crimson Rose author for The Wild Rose Press and I write contemporary women's action adventure stories and suspense. I also write paranormal with a strong emphasis on Urban Fantasy. I'm multipublished, but I don't write full time. I've been a professional graphic designer for thirty years and own my own business in Bend, Oregon.

I've been a story-holic since I was a kid, lol! 8^) Reading stories and watching them have always been a big deal to me. Because I'm a visual artist, my stories come to me in images with characters so real I can reach out and touch them. That's my favorite part about writing. The characters. Creating them, discovering their souls, watching them change and grow. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
