Emma Keatley's first two delightful books of sensual and sometimes erotic poetry have been joined by a third titled Season and Colours of Love. It was released on June 25, 2009 so look for it in the bookstore, and as always, it is a delightful experience. 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. We are hoping to have more from her in the future.

This anthology gives you three delightful books in one volume by Heather Hiestand, and take you to a place and time when people with asthma are relegated to ships off world. It is in a filtered atmosphere where the disease might be controlled, no matter what the patient's situation. And it is here that two couples decide to buck the system. Looking Forward, Looking Back is an insightful trilogy, so find out about Heather's version of love and rebellion in this future world.

And for those of you who just like an "Old-Fashioned Romance" set in the 1970's, try Linda Ambrosia's Liberation. It is a wonderful story of hatred, prejudice, and the ability of love to conquer fears as an unliley romance blooms, and love faces some pretty daunting odds in the era of the "flower children" of the late 1960's and early 70's.

Thank you and good reading!
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 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...
