About
J. Rose Black
Mother to two children and three dogs, Rose lives a technology-driven life in the Dallas suburbs. 3D printers whir away in her husband’s “printing room”, and she spends her day-job hours driving cyber security programs.
And when bedtime arrives, she dons her pjs and becomes! Coffee addicted Indie Romance Novelist! (no capes) < not a super power
Growing up, Rose wanted to write before she could read (or, so Grammy says). Once she could read, she did read: everything. Classic literature, Mysteries, Women’s Fiction, more Mysteries, Sci-Fi Fantasy, Nancy Drew. As she got older, more romantic stories began to mix into her steady diet of mysteries, action/adventure, sci-fi/fantasy, classics (still love Dumas, Austen, Doyle, Christie), and thrillers. When she got grounded, Grammy took away her books!
[Pssst, that would be like taking away your iPad, now, kids. Yeah, ok, please stop screaming – it’s not a real scenario. Here, have the iPad, do you want some ice cream?]
Rose was eight when her teachers first submitted one of her stories to a kids magazine for publication. At eleven, she was selected to represent her school at the Young Author’s Extravaganza. She was known as “the writer” in the family, and it was just presumed that was what she would be.
And she was. A technical writer, a proposal writer (for tech companies), a published case study author (for a software company), a fanfiction writer, writer of for-subscription articles, and her employer published several white papers, blogs, and a long-form (30 page) book on cyber security incident response programs.
Her first full-length novel, a steamy, new adult grumpy x sunshine romcom Losing My Breath has won several awards and hit the top of the Amazon charts in four countries (US, Canada, UK, and Australia).
The first book in her steamy, new adult sports romcom (enemies to lovers) series, Chasing Victory just published in early 2025!
