LEGACY OF THE CELTIC BROOCH CONTEST
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.

Inspiration...when I was approached, it took a little while for something juicy to come to me. What was exciting about the early 1900's in America? The first thing that came to mind--the Roraring '20s! Prohibition and flappers and bootlegging...which fit perfectly into my setting in the mountains of NC (the birthplace of NASCAR, via bootleggers).
Of couse, I had to make sure the brooch fit in as well, so I can't wait to see what the readers think :)
I love a battle of wills and a cowboy to me is a man's man so when you send in a woman who doesn't take any bull...the sparks are bound to fly!
The first thing I thought of was Lord of the Rings and the ring that Frodo fought so hard to destroy. From there, the brooch seemed to take on a life of its own. I knew that the brooch had the power to lead people to one another and show them what they feared and how to overcome that fear. Before I knew it, Airin was in Deryll's arms, and they had come together despite themselves.
I'm fortunate that my time period provides me with buckets of inspiration. I mean, the Old West? Ladies in swooping skirts, sexy cowboys...the possibilities are endless. I know every writer is different, but my characters "speak" to me. They just decide to take residence in my head (without my knowledge or permission). It was like this with the Celtic Brooch. As soon as I got the invitation, Emma's face popped up in my head. I knew I had to tell her story.
My celtic brooch story is a Crimson Rose (romantic suspense) called For Love Or Money and was inspired by superstition. Claire inherits the brooch from her father, a man who had left his family when she was just a child. The sudden appearance of this piece of jewelry coincides with positive changes in her dreary life, and she automatically attributes her good fortune to the brooch. Because of the brooch -- or so she thinks -- she's able to trust again, to love again, but it comes at a risk that puts her very life at stake. The brooch means something else entirely to her father's enemies, and they'll do anything to get it.
