Rosalind James, a publishing industry veteran and former marketing executive, is the author of eleven Contemporary Romance and Romantic Suspense novels, six of which have reached the Top 100 on Amazon. She and her husband live in Berkeley, California with a Labrador Retriever named Charlie (yes, she named a character after her dog, but she swears she didn't realize it until later) and three extremely spoiled, non-egg-laying bantam chickens. Rosalind attributes her surprising success to the fact that "lots of people would like to escape to New Zealand! I know I did!"Yes, all the books work as stand-alones!Visit www.rosalindjames.com to listen to the songs from the books, follow the characters on their travels, watch funny and fascinating New Zealand videos, and learn about what's new!Follow me on facebook: at rosalindjamesbooksOn Twitter: www.twitter.com/RosalindJames5Check out my Pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/rosalindjames/rosalind-james/
