Rose Brookins

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 have known each other. While their chance meeting may not rock the world the way Lennon and McCartney's did, it has certainly had a profound on their lives: in the past five years they've put over half a million words on paper and travelled to nine different countries together. 'Portrait of a Stranger' is their first published novel, with many more to come.
