About me

Breaks into your house and sets up a PowerPoint presentation that’s totally not a rip-off of my college’s creative writing course introduction because I’m too lazy to write a new one.

Greetings and salutations. My name is Rosalind, proudly named after Rosalind Russel. But you flesh beings can call me Ross or Ros since I am gender fluid and use any pronouns. I’m an adult crime/comedy writer, artist, and editor. Here is some info on me because I’m super interesting, I swear.

I was born and raised in a little piece of land known best for its beach realty TV shows, “New Jersey” where the weather is merely a social construct. Days after my 18th birthday I ran away from home with my dog and boyfriend to a fictional state called Ohio (it’s actually a portal to the backrooms but the Illuminati doesn’t want you to know that and—hh god I think they found me.)

I come from a conservative Christian background which only encouraged me to fight for my rights and representation in my stories. I hold nothing against religion and represent many in my books, but my background as an abuse survivor, POC, disabled, queer/trans individual, and someone who has taken many years to unlearn enforced morals has shaped me into the much better person I am now. So I want to use what I’ve learned to represent these subjects in my work and hopefully give others a chance to feel seen or learn about the experiences of people like myself.

I began writing officially when I was twelve unless the short story I wrote when I was seven counts. (It was about my dad’s late dog, Krissy, becoming a princess with my family being her servants under the rulership of iron paw).

I started my journey because of concepts I had in my head for a long time requesting access away from my brain catacomb. I found that my art skills at the time were no better than that of a toddler, so comics were out of the question. And my nine-year-old fantasy to have my story made into an animated movie by Universal Studios free of charge had been shot down pretty quickly.

So I resorted to writing on the notes app of my 2nd gen iPod (remember those? I’m not that old. Come on). I then upgraded to Scrivener after I received it for half the price as a reward for winning my first NaNoWriMo (which I still participate in and still win to this very day.) Cue main character music.

It was a challenge I didn't imagine I would complete, but alas my “finish the task or regret every life decision you’ve ever made up until this point” mentality helped push thirteen-year-old me through it. I then went on to write the first book in my “Villain vs. Villain trilogy” which is the staple of my career.

I’m willing to venture into almost any genre, though I primarily write anything for adults under the genres: crime, comedy, sci-fi, and historical.

The final but most important piece of info about me is that I have a Shih Tzu and writing partner named Dakota (North or South, I have yet to decide), Who is also my sidekick for taking over the world. (You didn’t read that).

Puts the presentation away and pulls a 25-pound Shih Tzu out of my imaginary back pocket.

Pet him. He’s destroyed private property and survived the consumption of multiple poisonous concoctions but he’s still a good boy. Just look at that face. The standard of beauty.
