She has a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Special Education and has taught English at all levels in schools and specialised in teaching students with learning difficulties. Rosie also volunteers at schools and organisations that teach reading, including teaching newly arrived adult migrants.

Rosie lives with her husband and has three adult children she’s raised to love books as much as she does. She spends her time between Balmain and the Northern Beaches of Sydney, loves a game of Pickleball, outrigging on Pittwater, and volunteers as a crisis supporter at LIFELINE.

• balancing creating a compelling mystery with ensuring it's age-appropriate for younger readers
• Outback noir and what draws Rosie to this setting, and how it shapes the tone and themes of her story
• Rosie's advice to aspiring children’s authors or debut authors or just authors in general looking to write in the mystery genre and much more.
