Rosalie Skinner

About

Rosalie Skinner resides on the east coast of Australia when not totally immersed in the fantasy world of her writing.

Rosalie’s love of the ocean, nature, history and horses has enabled her to give her books an authentic air. Her latest achievement has been to ride through the Australian Snowy mountains and see the wild brumbies run. When not watching the migrating whales pass her doorstep she has more humble pastimes.

Other than being a published author, her greatest thrill is being a grandmother. Born over fourteen weeks early her granddaughter’s perfect development and growth are a miracle and joy.

But don't think for a second that it's too tame or &quot;young reader&quot; . It's full of grimy fighting, power-hungry folks with twisted and dubious motives and a hero who is pushed to the brink of physical endurance and sanity. Think a tech-savy-futuristic-dude-who-can -fight-like-Spartacus, stranded in a magical world. The result? Put down what you're reading now and prepare to be transported.</div> </div> <div class="imageTiles" style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;margin-top:5px;"> </div> <div class="clearboth txtsmall gt9 vtStripe" style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;clear:both;padding-top:9px;font-size:12px;line-height:16px;"> <div class="fl cmt" style="float:left;"><a class="noTextDecoration" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DK6I1QK9GH8E/ref=cm_cr_dp_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B005JU9840&amp;nodeID=133140011&amp;store=digital-text#wasThisHelpful" style="color:rgb(153,102,51);margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;">Comment</a> <span class="gry gr4 gl4" style="padding-right:4px;padding-left:4px;color:rgb(102,102,102);">|</span> </div> <div> </div> <div class="vt"> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </div> </div> </div>
