Rosalind Brett (author)

Lillian Warren, pseudonym Rosalind Brett (fl. 1950s) was a British author who wrote for Mills & Boon romance. As a prolific author of romance novels, she had two other pseudonyms, Kathryn Blair and Celine Conway. At the height of her career, Warren was considered one of publisher's superstars, who set high sales records and a standard for romances published during the 1950s. Joseph McAleer in his book Passion's Fortune: The Story of Mills and Boon, describes Brett's work as so sexy for the era, that it often had to be "watered down". According to McAleer, she is credited by Anne Weale as inventing the "punishing kiss". Brett/Warren came to Mills & Boon from Rich & Cowan, a publisher she felt didn't offer her enough support.
==Book Notes==

Rosalind Brett's romances from the 1950s are historically significant to Mills & Boon series due to her choice of locations. Her stories take readers away from the British Isle, to destinations in Portuguese East Africa such as Rhodesia, Nyasaland, providing glimpses of Salisbury, present day Harare and Bulawayo, still the second largest city in what is now Zimbabwe. Other such locations are French Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, and the Pacific Islands to name a few. Here, the main characters are hard at work trying to build a prosperous life as the salt of the British, French and Portuguese colonies.
Publishing in post World War II period, she writes at the crossroads of history when, colonial rule once paramount in parts of Africa, Asia and the Pacific, would come to be challenged. While her stories richly depict white colonial life, absent from them, are any underlying tension fermenting between the rulers and its subjects. As events tell later, these parts soon witness war and conflict leading to their independence.
Parallels can be drawn to Jane Austen's novels, which were written in the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars, but did not allude to them.
