Johnson made it clear that writers need not have been health professionals because technical information is easily obtainable from journals and magazines: She can be a nurse or a doctor - or indeed any one of a number of allied professions.

But she too must have a power base.

She can even be the hero's technical superior. The proportion of the cover area devoted to the picture still an artistic impression, not a photograph reduced to three quarters, under the imprint logo, title, and author's name. By the late '80s the strapline 'Romance' figured in this arrangement on contemporaries, or alternatively, 'Doctor Nurse Romance', but the hero looking dominantly down on the heroine continues to be the characteristic gaze on these covers Hodgson, Liverpool: The picture on the contemporaries became less of a close-up, showing more of the couple's lifestyle or environment in the background: The couple on the cover embraced more passionately and background colours became much warmer and more vibrant.

The cover of Holly North's The Invisible Doctor , therefore visually contrasts with 'contemporary' romances of the time, it's close-up of a white-coated male doctor looking down into the face of a female nurse wearing characteristic white cap bearing a closer resemblance to the s covers than to its s contemporaries.

Many contemporaries carried a warning advertisement on the end papers: We know, because we've designed them with your comments in mind, that you'll just love the bright, warm, romantic colours and the up-to-date new look. Watch out for these new covers from October She began once she had retired from her job as Ward Sister. She is married to a Dutchman and spent many years in Holland.

Both her experiences as a nurse and her knowledge and love of Holland feature in many of her novels. Until , each 'Doctor Nurse Romance' had a word in the title foregrounding its particular medical bias; 'Doctor', 'nurse', 'Sister', 'surgeon'. The covers then took on "bright, warm, romantic colours and the up-to-date new look" but the cover picture was distinctly different from the mainstream romance, cross-shaped a square with the corners removed for what was now called 'Love On Call'.

The new tag allowed greater flexibility of setting, and addressed reader and writer requests to widen the range of professional roles for the principal protagonists, but titles like Smooth Operator seem more frivolous compared to previous products. See list of sample considered. The charismatic white coat Karpf, Anderson, Douglas, Wirdnam, Even more significant, the heroine is sometimes photographed white-coated and alone. In a sample set of twelve 'Love on Call' romances published midway through Johnson's 'cross' covers period, in February, March and April , two heroines are pictured alone wearing white button-through coveralls.

The characteristic position of couples in the photographs is side- by-side, sometimes cheek-by-cheek, looking toward, or half turned toward, the camera, with the hero seldom apparently very much taller than the heroine. Although, in some, the body contact is close and suggests passion, there are none where the heroine looks submissively up into the face of the hero, or where he looks imposingly down into hers.

In the sample set, five of twelve heroines are doctors and one is a physiotherapist, so half the heroines are not nurses. These are perceived as having more autonomy and professional responsibility than nurses, and as being in a more equal professional power relationship with the hero, which the cover photograph also seems to indicate. One hero is a property developer, but the other eleven heroes are all doctors. In the two recent books which I analyse in greater detail, the nurse heroine intends to be a doctor and the other heroine is a doctor; both heroes are doctors.

Another change in presentation occurred in when the 'Love On Call' strapline was replaced by 'Medical Romance'. Bright covers and stark photographs are gone. Romance itself is suggested as being professionally perilous, but it is in the overcoming of these perils, and in finally choosing a man worthy to be hero to a thoroughly professional woman that resolution lies.

My enquiry began with Roger Sanderson's success subsequent to the RNA meeting and a curiosity about whether a male medical romance writer might present women, their illnesses or their professional attitudes differently.
