Rosy's Ramblings

A woman whose dream of becoming a published author came true in her 65th year

Hello and welcome!

If you’re new here, I wrote a cozy crime novel, not knowing which genre I wanted to write in. My journey began here on Substack when I serialised a story set in a fictional hamlet based on the village where I live. I called it ‘The Mysterious Disappearance of Marsha Boden’ and that was two years ago.

Today, that book is available to buy on Amazon, Foyles, Waterstones and WHSmith. I never thought in a million years that my dream would come true. It hasn’t been easy and there were times when I felt like giving up, but I always remembered what my dream was.

I am happy to share my journey with you, the highs, the lows and all the inbetween bits. I will share posts that are interesting, appealing and, hopefully, enjoyable.

More About Me

I live in Shropshire, a rural part of England, where I work as a Legal Secretary, and when I am not working, I am writing or occasionally, I play golf to exercise and unwind.

The link above has some amazing footage of the beautiful place where I live and I feel very fortunate to be able to call it home.

My website rosygee.com has lots more information about me and my other books. I have self-published two collections of short stories and poetry and my debut novel is published by RomaReads Publishing.

I also have two children’s books in the pipeline for publication. The first is Mr Tiddy’s Garden which is due for publication in March 2025, again by RomaReads Publishing. I have seen the illustrations and they are beautiful.

The second children’s book, A Day at the Park, is due out next Summer. I have also written a second cozy crime novel which I am busy editing .

I hope you enjoy my novel and if you are kind enough to buy a copy, please remember to leave a review. Reviews are so important to authors and help enormously in generating sales.

Thank you for being here. Just knowing that people are reading my work makes it all worthwhile.
