Thank you both for giving me this great guest spot on Sweet & Sexy Divas. I'm really delighted to be part of the group of authors at Victory Tales Press and today I'd like you to see one of VTP's most recent releases in its line of romance anthologies, this one released in May: A Historical Collection Anthology: Sweet/Sensual.
This collection makes number twelve in VTP's production of fourteen romance anthologies during this past year, and this month marks Victory Tales Press's one year anniversary. It was a little more than one year ago that publisher Rebecca Vickery joined with Laura Shinn, both of them authors and editors in their own right, to found Victory Tales Press.
A Historical Collection Anthology: Sweet/Sensual make number twelve in a remarkable series of fourteen anthologies her press has produced this past year. June's release of A Summer Collection Anthology: Sweet/Sensual brings us full circle. In 2010, A Summer Collection Anthology was the first of her anthology line. Most of the books have four great shorts or novellas containing inspirational and romantic stories to give the reader an uplift. These are tucked between memorable covers created by Laura Shinn, and they are good to read year round. Go to the home site of Victory Tales Press to see their large collection of offerings at http://www.victorytalespress.yolasite.com/.
See below the summaries of the stories in A Historical Collection Anthology: Sweet/Sensual:
