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.

Tell us something about your writing process

An idea usually needs to germinate for a while, so I can figure out the storyline, character arcs, and the best place to start. When I'm in first draft, I typically write daily, either after I get home from work or for longer on weekends. Music is always playing--Big Band for the vintage stories. I have a great critique group that gives me awesome feedback and keeps me on the right track.

I have ideas on a daily basis--way to many to ever make it onto paper. The ones that simply won't go away pick at me until I start to write them. Usually, there's no turning back from there. HA!

I do full rewrites, and umpteen revisions. I have three very astute critique partners who read everything I write. Their insight usually catapuluts be far beyond where I could have gone myself.

I can spend an afternoon on an opening--or a single paragraph or two--only to do heavy revision on that same section at a later time.

I am writing all the things I swore I never would--because I thought I couldn't. Never say never.
