Imogen Rose

About

For as long as she can remember, Imogen Rose has dreamtstories. Stories that she could, would, continue from night to night, from dreamto dream. So, going to bed was never an issue, just an anticipation of thestory to come.

   Imogen. was born in a small townin Sweden and moved to London in her twenties. After obtaining a PhD inimmunology from Imperial College, she moved with her family to New Jersey,where she has been based for the past ten years. Although storytelling is herreal passion, she has only now decided to share her stories by publishing herfirst work of fiction, PORTAL.

   PORTAL would have remained in herimagination, to be shared only with her daughter, Lauren, had Lauren notinsisted that she wrote it down. In the course of a month, Imogen typed whileLauren waited eagerly by the printer for the pages to appear, and a novel tookshape.

   The warm reception PORTAL hasreceived has encouraged Imogen to continue with the story and the PortalChronicles will continue with EQUILIBRIUM, due to be published Summer 2010.

<span style="font-family:Times;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"></span><div style="padding-top:7px;padding-right:7px;padding-bottom:7px;padding-left:7px;background-color:#ffffff;font:normal normal normal 13px/1.22 arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><div><strong>Review by Keith Robinson, Author </strong></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">PORTAL is a sci-fi romance with well-fleshed characters and an intriguing plot. Normally, a novel in the romance genre would be of no interest to me at all (being a guy and all!) but PORTAL managed to keep my interest throughout thanks to its main character, Arizona, and its fascinating sci-fi plot involving time travel and alternative dimensions. There's such a careful balance of sci-fi versus romance that both genre readers will enjoy it equally. I'd be hard pushed to say which genre comes through the strongest, and in this regard it reminds me slightly of The Time Traveler's Wife, another story that's hard to pigeonhole and one that wouldn't work if either the sci-fi or the romance was taken away. <br /><br />There's a lot to think about after the book ends. All the complexities of the &quot;experiment&quot; are finally laid out for the readers (and poor Arizona) to see, and yet you come away with your head spinning -- in a good way. The best kinds of movies and novels are those that leave you with something to ponder, and PORTAL certainly does that. And the fact that there's a forthcoming sequel, EQUILIBRIUM, due in Summer 2010, is something of a no-brainer -- there's plenty more story waiting to be explored yet! <br /><br />Not wanting to give away spoilers, I was happy with Arizona's decision at the end and think it would have been unrealistic for her to choose otherwise. Still, part of me wanted her to &quot;take the plunge&quot; and choose the other option, because what a great story that would make! Maybe that's what we have to look forward to in EQUILIBRIUM... or maybe the author will take us in a new direction altogether. There are so many possibilities, especially after the Epilogue, which almost came out of left field and really throws a sinister spanner in the works. Roll on Book II!</span></div></div>
