While working in a travel agency, Rosemary met her Indian husband. He encouraged her to continue her education at Westminster College. In 1961, Rosemary and her husband, now a barrister, moved to his birthplace, Kenya, where she lived from 1961 until 1982. After an attempted coup d’état, she and four of her children lived in an ashram in France.
Back in England, Rosemary wrote historical fiction. She is now a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association, Historical Novel Society, and Cassio Writers.
Apart from writing, Rosemary enjoys classical Indian literature, reading, visiting places of historical interest, vegetarian cooking, growing organic fruit, herbs and vegetables and creative crafts.
Time spent with her five children and their families, most of whom live near her is precious.
Every free moment I have is spent writing my romantic historical novels, researching them or reading widely to keep in touch with the type of books readers enjoy.
I've read voraciously since the age of five and have always had a particular interest in history, ancient and modern - both that of my own country, England and world history.
As I enjoy reading quality romantic historical novels, I decided to have fun creating strong characters and putting them in difficult situations. When I visualise the, they speak and act according to their time and circumstance but their dilemmas are universal.
