Christine & Ethan Rose have marvelous imaginations. Often finding their inspiration among the trees, they write as they lead their lives…with plenty of adventure, magic and love. Although many tragic heroes begin as orphans, Ethan actually was one. He grew up amongst the magical redwoods in Northern California and has read virtually every fantasy novel ever written. Anglophile Christine holds her M.A. in Medieval/Renaissance Literature & Folklore. She wrote her Master’s Thesis on Le Morte D’arthur, and produced two documentary films. Christine’s scholarly, goal-oriented background mixed with Ethan’s in-depth knowledge of modern fantasy creates an impenetrable team of writers who look forward to writing more books together. They live in Austin with their three canine kids and Shadow, the cat.

Christine Rose, 40
Christine 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. Her favorite authors include Shakespeare, Swift and Vonnegut, with a more recent adoration of J.K. Rowling and Neil Gaiman.

Ethan Rose, 41
Living in foster care in Mendocino County, Ethan often wandered through the forests with a book in hand. To this day, you will rarely catch with without a trusty paperback to pass the time stuffed in his back pocket. When he can’t read, he listens to books on tape, normally while working as a General Contractor.

Christine and Ethan met swing dancing in 1999 and were married a year later. They’ve traveled together extensively across the USA, in the U.K., Canada and France. The couple attends Burning Man every year.
