Rose hails from the glorious Midwestern United States, and will gladly agree with you that northern Wisconsin is the most beautiful place on earth.

Despite the geography of her birth, Rose was an Anglophile before she was in double digits. She spent her childhood making up stories about the little-known sixth Bennet sister (her name was Cassandra) while attending Hogwarts (she thought she was a Ravenclaw, but has since realized she's a proud Hufflepuff).

In college she had the opportunity to study abroad in Canterbury where she spent most of her time skipping class to travel. She's chuffed to bits that her first published novel takes place in her favorite city in the world.

Rose has been writing with her best friend Mina for as long as they

Christopher Hitchens
“To be the father of growing daughters is to understand something of what Yeats evokes with his imperishable phrase 'terrible beauty.' Nothing can make one so happily exhilarated or so frightened: it's a solid lesson in the limitations of self to realize that your heart is running around inside someone else's body. It also makes me quite astonishingly calm at the thought of death: I know whom I would die to protect and I also understand that nobody but a lugubrious serf can possibly wish for a father who never goes away.”
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

Megan Whalen Turner
“No 'Glory shall be your reward' for me. Oh, no, for me, it is, 'Stop whining' and 'Go to bed'.”
Megan Whalen Turner, The King of Attolia

R.A. Salvatore
“If you can quit, then quit. If you can't quit, you're a writer.”
R.A. Salvatore

R.A. Salvatore
“It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them.”
R.A. Salvatore, Sojourn

Robert Jordan
“A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.”
Robert Jordan, Winter's Heart

Sophie Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm so pleased to see what great books we have in common. Juniper AND Sabriel? I can't believe I didn't know this about you before!
