In 1998, Rosalie's historical novel ALLEGIANCE made her a Golden Heart finalist
in a writing contest sponsored by the Romance Writers of America [RWA]. The following year, the novel was published
in soft cover and also as an ebook by The Fiction
Works and nominated for the EPIC 2000 Award for best historical
novel.
The print rights to Allegiance was later picked up by
Publish America and reprinted in trade paperback, while Whiskey Creek Press
reprinted it as an eBook. Whiskey Creek also released an ebook edition of Rosalie's western suspense novel, HONOR AMONG
THIEVES.
Recently, she got her rights back to the ebook versions
of both books and is making them available for sale on her own website.
In 1991, Rosalie became one of the founding members of Rogue Writers Ink
located in the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon. For seven years, she served as
newsletter editor for that organization and has filled various board positions.
Rosalie grew up reading and cherishing books by Zane Grey, and was thrilled when
she had a chance to meet his son, Romer Grey. When he discovered that she wrote
westerns, he asked to read them. He was so impressed that he offered to help her
market them as her agent. Unfortunately, his health failed and he died before
being able to fulfill his promise. The memory of his support and encouragement
stayed with her, however, and she never gave up her dream of publishing her
stories and sharing them with others. She continues to write about independent
women and courageous men of the old West. Today she wonders what Zane Grey and
his son Romer would think about the high-tech world of electronic publishing and
print-on-demand books.
