FYI - A New Year, a New Host...
The New Bookstore is running well. Saturday 15 December found two new releases, an Anthology from Nancy Pirri and Patricia Fuller called The Music Master and Other Christmas Tales, and a single title from Kate Hofman called A Greater Love, available in the bookstore. Friday 28 December, 2007 saw Bonded Souls released. This is a first book for us by Stephanie Barmann, I hope you will enjoy..
For the New Year, we have a delightful Duet of Contemporary Romances combined into one volume called Surrender Your Heart by Melissa Wathing ton. Join Melissa as she delves into the lives of two couples and we discover the hows and why's of love along with them.
March Brings a new book from Jennifer Mueller called A Speakeasy Named Hell, and a pair of Poetry volumes from Emma Keatley. The two volumes called Adam Tremayne's A Sensual Seduction - Vol. 1, and A Lover's Cocktail, are available in the bookstore now, and are in great demand.
These two delightful books of sensual and sometimes erotic poetry will soon be joined by a third titled Season and Colours of Love. We hope it will be released in June/July, so look for it in the bookstore starting next month. We are delighted that Emma has found her own fanbase, and also hope you will visit Emma's Page for more about this delightful poet.
And for those of you who just like an "Old-Fashioned Romance" set in the 1970's, try Linda Ambrosia's Liberation.
Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
~Rose Brungard, Publisher RAHP~
Kate Hofman has had one of her books, Navajo Dreams, nominated at The Romance Studio for one of their 2007 CAPA Awards.
Navajo Dreams is the story of Dinah Greene’s lifelong love for her dream of living in Arizona. This dream ultimately drew her to the desert splendour of Sedona, Arizona, and Arizona’s Grand Canyon country. This provided a wonderful place to hide from a greedy and manipulative family after the death of her abusive and cheating husband. This place af stark and sere beauty, a place where wild still reigns offered her sanctuary, somewhere her greedy mother wouldn't think to look. A dizzying trip to the Grand Canyon, however, finds her in the arms of a handsome stranger, a man she wants to get to know better, if only she dares...
Kate Hofman has done it again with A Greek Love Story! It has won a CAPA Award at The Romance Studio, one of their coveted Sensual CAPA Awards for 2007.

Romona Hilliger's A Blue Bird On His Shoulder... remains a favourite short at the Bookstore.
A Blue Bird On His Shoulder has been re-edited by Romona, and is available now in all four formats. This charming Christmas Tale continues to be a best selling short! Come and take a trip to Tasmania, and a special couple who fight the odds to find a true Christmas love to last for ALL seasons. Priced at $1.50, it has a pair of wonderful characters, is full of excitement, a strong storyline, and well worth the price.
And from Jennifer Mueller...
A short story called Writer's Block is a humorous look at a writer's blocked thoughts while attempting to meet a writing deadline, and a pair of randy characters who almost literally take over their own story. It is a short fast read to give you an entertaining look into one writer's creative experience, and the frustration of her characters when she can't seem to get to the good parts of their story. It is short, a bit spicy and a tad erotic, but I think you will all enjoy Writer's Block. You will find it in the bookstore for $.99.
