Rosie Sandler lives in Essex, UK, where she writes novels, poetry and short stories, and is an editor and creative writing tutor. She loves dressmaking and wearing colourful outfits, which often leads to joyful encounters with strangers. Although she enjoys visiting beautifully tended gardens, Rosie's own garden is a bit on the wild side (her excuse is that this encourages hedgehogs and other wildlife). She dreams that she and her husband will one day live beside a lake. Or at least a big puddle. Rosie is co-author of the Agatha Oddly trilogy of children's detective novels.
