Christine Rose is a tech nomad and international pet sitter who straddles life between Portland and London, the city of her soul. She’s published twelve books, including the critically acclaimed survival memoir One Reason to Live, the award-winning five-book fantasy series Rowan of the Wood, and the bestselling Steampunk romance Avalon Revisited. She holds both a BA and MA in British Literature, which helps keep her professional, but copious amounts of dark chocolate, frothy mochas, and silent solitude keep her sane.
