How Celtic Brooch Began
Katherine Lowry Logan, a Kentucky native with a background in psychology and paralegal work, launched the Celtic Brooch series in 2012 with The Ruby Brooch. Inspired by her love for history and storytelling, Logan crafted a series that combines her research expertise with a passion for romance. Her meticulous approach—often involving travel to historical sites—ensures each book feels like a vivid portal to the past, earning praise for its authenticity and emotional resonance.
The Heart of Celtic Brooch
The series follows the MacKlenna Clan and others who wield magical Celtic brooches, each inscribed with Gaelic words that unlock time travel. In The Ruby Brooch, paramedic Kit MacKlenna journeys to 1852 Oregon to uncover her origins, sparking a romance with lawyer Cullen Montgomery amid perilous adventures. The Sapphire Brooch transports reenactor Charlotte Mallory to the Civil War, where she grapples with love and danger to preserve history. The Emerald Brooch sees retired Army Captain Kenzie Wallis-Manning in 1944 England, facing wartime challenges and a romance with David McBain. The Moonstone Brooch, a recent addition, follows journalist Clay MacIntyre to the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, blending mystery and clan dynamics.
Logan’s storytelling shines through themes of identity, love, and resilience, set against meticulously crafted historical backdrops. The series balances heart-fluttering romance with suspense, mystery, and paranormal elements, appealing to fans of both historical fiction and fantasy. Each book stands alone but builds a sprawling saga of interconnected characters, making it perfect for binge-reading.
Why Celtic Brooch Resonates
The Celtic Brooch series has carved a niche among time travel romance fans, often compared to Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander for its historical depth and emotional stakes. Readers praise Logan’s ability to craft relatable, complex characters—like Kit’s quest for her roots or Kenzie’s wartime courage—that resonate long after the final page. The series’ focus on American history, from the Civil War to the Wild West, educates while entertaining, making it a favorite for history buffs and romantics alike.
With 13 books and a 14th slated for 2025, the series continues to grow, fueled by Logan’s dedicated research and a loyal community of readers who dream of a Netflix adaptation. Its blend of heart, history, and magic ensures its lasting appeal in the romance genre.
