About the author

AUTHOR OF INTERNATIONAL THRILLER AND SUSPENSE.
MUSES ALL THINGS CREATIVE, TECHNOLOGY AND HISTORY.

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, roaming 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. Hm... she might just learn something that’ll be useful.

Reviews

[Lonnie Huff · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an exciting fun read. There is so much going on if you like action you will like this book. The book opens with a murder, then you have a wedding and Jack is kidnapped. Calla goes in to work and finds she has been betrayed. They think she is a traitor and has killed Jack. She manages to escape and has to figure this all out to save herself and the others. This is a stand alone book in the series and can be read in any order. The other books in the series are great reads and it would help you to know the characters better if you were to read them first. But if you don't you will end up going back and reading them later.

[Bruce Mackenzie · Rating 3 out of 5]

the first 80% of this book is a rousing action/adventure with a touch of mystery and suspense. The last 20%, it all goes wonky as the heroine turns into SuperWoman, complete with the ability to defy gravity and x-ray vision. Nice read but I won't continue the series.

[Patricia Mccammon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very interesting series that combines spies, hackers and those called operatives who though human have some unusual talents.

Book 142 - Rose Sandy - The Mind Hacker

Dull…boring… just nothing interesting. Something about espionage..computer hacking and stereotypical characters

Sorry…not for me

[Karin · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is an unusual picture? Or, could it be something more? Is she your friend? Or… Does he really like you? Or, is he just doing his job? Many things are not what they seem in this story. The only person you can trust is yourself. If you can do that, then you can solve the puzzles that are surrounding you, Calla Cress.
