Biography

Christine Rose…. author, filmmaker, gypsy, dreamer, & feral hippie… is an entrepreneur at heart. Often described as a “free spirit” she is believed to have gypsy blood running through her veins, which explains why she moves around so much. (Although some claim that she has ants in her pants.) Christine produced two documentary films and has credits on IMDB.com. The first film enjoyed a theatrical premiere in Paris and a considerable amount of international press. She also planned and executed a 40-US city promotional tour for it. She has had articles appear in several magazines, including MovieMaker Magazine and IndieSlate Magazine discussing her career as an independent filmmaker. She holds her M.A. in English and wrote her Master’s Thesis on Malory’s Le Morte D’arthur. Her favorite authors include Shakespeare, Swift, and Vonnegut, with a more recent adoration of J.K. Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, and Laurell K. Hamilton. She currently teaches English at Austin Community College.

Inspiration

My inspiration for "Rowan of the Wood" was a mixture of the Whedonverse of Joss Whedon, the brilliance of the Harry Potter series and how it touched the world, and the perinneal nature of the Superheros like Batman, Spiderman, and Superman to capture the hearts and souls of each new generation.
