\nAn Important Tip:<\/b> <\/p>\n

We created the Passport to Romance\u2122 series to for a two-fold reason:
\n to give readers a taste of overseas and to stir the creative juices
\n of authors. We encourage authors to research the chosen location so
\n that the cultural flavor of the location can be infused into the
\n story. Also, we want to encourage authors to think outside the box
\n when considering ways to incorporate the object prompts. If the
\n location is the Arctic Circle and one of the objects is “Hibiscus in
\n Winter,” don\u2019t be discouraged! Rather, consider alternatives to the
\n conventional bush blooming in the garden. Hibiscus in Winter might
\n be the name of the heroine\u2019s favourite musical band or book or poem.
\n A hibiscus could arrive in winter when a plane carrying hibiscus
\n bushes crashes or dumps its cargo for some reason, or because the
\n hero knows a the hibiscus is the heroine\u2019s favourite flower and so
\n carries one with him as he arrives from Hawaii.<\/p>\n
