One Dozen Roses is 36,046 words long. Don't let that deter you. No need to read it all in one setting.

Each story is somewhere between 2000 words and 5000 words. It is possible to read one story at a time, close the file, come back and use the Table of Contents to jump to the next story.

I'm the designated posting author. However, this isn't all my work. There are 6 other authors. Between the 7 of us, we have contributed 12 stories recounting how each of the Roses came to be named Rose. At the end of each story you will have the opportunity to send the author of that story a message just as if the story had been posted individually by that author. Please take a moment to dash off a quick note to the authors as it is not possible to give kudos individual stories.

Here is the table of Contents. Note that just as it allows you to jump to any particular story, you can also click on the authors name and jump to their author page here on BCTS.
