They integrate beautiful, photographic oil paintings to illustrate their first novella, Passion's Blood. This mix of photography with layer upon layer of oils and lacquer glazing depicts romantic, historical imagery so vivid and realistic a story begs to be told. And so, inevitably, they do just that. Fortin and Sanders combine literary imagination with their internationally recognized painting style to introduce a new sub-genre unlike any in existence in the romance industry to date. The powerful illustrations they create coupled with the classic romantic story beautifully portray the pageantry and chivalry of the medieval period in history. Their innovative talent not only adds an entirely new dimension to the romance reading experience, but offers romance readers a treasure to cherish long after other novels are forgotten.
