Christine Rose is a tech nomad and international pet sitter who straddles life between Portland and London, the city of her soul. She published eleven books, including 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.
