A dedicated reader and scribbler all her life, Rosie James completed her first novel (sadly unpublished) before reaching her teens. Significant success came much later, and over the last twelve years newspaper and magazine articles, short stories and romantic novels followed under her other pen name Susanne James. Rosie's four family sagas were the next stage, the plots reflecting her fascination with the human condition - how different, yet how alike we all are. And in every story one thing is guaranteed - a happy ending.
