Roseann began a writing “career” at thirteen when she penned a short story. She continued to write short stories now and then to meet her creative juices. After retirement from careers as a teacher, librarian, and liquor license investigator she got serious and published her first novel, Mending Vanessa: An Oregon Romance. A year later, she published a second book, Accidental Encounter. Childhood memories and Oregon’s natural beauty served as inspirations for the stories.

Roseann lives in rural Oregon City where she and her husband raise and sell Christmas trees. She is an avid Oregon State sports fan, enthusiastically cheering on her beloved Beavers. Roseann is a passionate music devotee, focusing on 50s and 60s hits, easy listening, and songs from movies/musicals. Playing the piano is a pleasurable pastime. Roseann is an officer in the Catholic Daughters organization, volunteers at the church food bank, and assists at funeral receptions. She earned a BS degree in education at Western Oregon University.
