Rose never set out to be a writer. She set out to be a communicator with whatever landed in her hands, but soon the keyboard became her best friend. Rose writes suspense and intelligence thrillers where technology and espionage meet history in pulse-racing action-adventure. She dips into the mysteries of our world, the fascination of technology breakthroughs, the secrets of history and global intelligence to deliver thrillers that weave suspense, conspiracy and a dash of romantic thrill. A globe trotter and a diplomat’s daughter, her thrillers span cities and continents and she likes to take her characters where she has lived or travelled. Rose’s writing approach is to hit hard with a good dose of tension and humor. Her characters zip in and out of intelligence and government agencies, dodge enemies in world heritage sites, navigate technology markets and always land in deep trouble. Rose speaks four languages and earned international business and economics degrees at The American University of Paris and also holds a minor degree in political science and government. She has worked internationally for several years in multinational corporations including two of the world’s largest technology companies. She has also worked extensively in media, book publishing, FMCG companies, and the entertainment industry. When not tapping away on a smartphone writing app, Rose is usually found in the British Library scrutinizing the Magna Carta, trolling Churchill’s War Rooms, or sampling a new gadget. Most times she’s in deep conversations with ex-military and secret service intelligence officers, Foreign Service staff, or engrossed in a TED talk with a box of popcorn. Hmm, she might just learn something that’ll be useful.
