Grace Rostoker was born in St. Asaph in the north of Wales in 1954 and later lived in London and other cities in the UK. An avid watcher of all the western series shown on television in the 1950s and '60s, Grace's first ambition was to be a cowgirl, but she later decided that writing would be both more accessible and more comfortable than riding the range.
As well as writing for pleasure, and occasionally for publication, Grace also worked at many jobs, and for a time had a very small-scale and low-key acting career. She left England for the USA in 2011 and now lives in Southern California, with her mathematics professor husband, their energetic dog and a laid-back Ragdoll cat.
Grace is now writing full-time. She writes a weekly article about Mystery Movies for the BellaOnline website, and has several writing projects in the pipeline. Grace enjoys theatre, music, books, history, walking, swimming and the California sunshine.
