Have you guys heard the great news? We have two new Brava authors joining us. Yay!!! These ladies write in some interesting genres. Some genres that aren’t significantly represented in Brava now.
First we have Mary Wine. The Publishers Marketplace sales notice says this:
Mary Wine’s THE COUNTERFEIT BRIDE, described as “Cinderella with kilts,” to Megan Records at Kensington Brava, in a three-book deal, by Barbara Poelle at Irene Goodman Agency.
The second Brava newbie is Beth Williamson. Her PM sales listing says:
Beth Williamson’s THE EDUCATION OF MADELINE, in which a wealthy spinster rescues a wrongfully accused drifter from being hanged without a trial…all she asks from him in return are a few bedroom lessons of the explicit kind, to Kate Duffy at Kensington Brava, in a nice deal, in a three-book deal, by Laura Bradford at Bradford Literary Agency (World).
Scottish historicals and western historicals - could we be more excited? Welcome ladies!
So…what are we missing? Are there genres you love that no one in Brava is writing or only one or two authors cover? If you could chat with Kate Duffy, what genres/subgenres would you ask her to seek out? Anything? I’m not looking to branch out, I just wonder. I look and see a pretty diverse selection. Do you see the same thing?

Thanks for the welcome, HelenKay!! I’m uber-excited to be a Brava author.
Love me some Scottish historicals - can’t wait to read Mary’s.
Congrats to Mary and Beth! They both sound wonderful.
I like the idea of Brava branching out into historicals. They already produce very hot & sexy contemps, so I’m all for the historicals.
Brava started out as solely historical back in 1999.
Just saying…
Kate
Wow–very cool! Hooray for Mary and Beth, and for Brava and its fans!
Congratulations to both ladies, sounds like some exciting reads! I must say I think Brava does an excellent job of covering genres. I love the diversity they offer even among specific genres like the Contemporary Romances there are many different voices, each with their own loveable qualities.
Congrats, Mary and Beth! I’m looking forward to reading your stories!
I think Brava does a great job of providing readers with hot yet diverse stories.
Congratulations, Mary and Beth!
I am looking forward to reading Mary and Beth’s books.
congrats ladies. so great to see u here at brava
Congratulations to Mary and Beth! I love Brava books
It’s probably the only line where I walk around looking for the insignia because I know it’ll be a good book!
I know and love both of these very talented ladies! Y’all are in for a treat.
Hi HelenKay, saw you were here today.
Congratulations Mary & Beth.
Really? In ‘99? I had no clue. I’m thinking more of the Bad Boy anthologies and more contemporary books. I know Sylvia writes historicals. I just love the sexier storylines set in the past.
I’d ask Kate to look for more Edwardian-set novels (on any continent). Like mine!
I am sure I would be over come with her greatness and not be able to speak… but If I could chat with Kate I would say buy westerns. And lots of them….
and HelenKay Dimon
no one ever listens to me though
Mary Wine….
