Ian Rose has moved around a bit. Born outside of Philadelphia, he lived in New Orleans, Alaska, Hawaii, and elsewhere before settling in Oregon. Now a resident of Portland, he devotes himself to his writing, his fiancee and his two beloved soccer teams, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and the Portland Timbers. He has worked as a biological technician, a sports blogger and a web developer, and hopes that all of them have left a mark on his writing. In particular, the ocean and marine life are a huge influence.
