Rose Milburn

Rose Milburn was born and bred in North East England and passed the entrance exam to the local Grammar School, which is where she first discovered her love for writing. However, it was much later, after raising her two sons to adulthood, that she wrote her first full length novel, 'Don't Judge a Book', inspired by their experiences of growing up in a once proud community torn apart by the closure of the coal mines.

Rose had been working on her novel for some time but was pushed to finish it after attending a coaching course, which illustrated the importance of setting clear goals and achieving them.

Having published her first novel, Rose continued the story of Ellie and her friends in 'Still Waters Run Deep' and 'You Can Lead a Horse' and also wrote two Sweet Romance novels - 'Do Me A Favour' and 'Guiding Starr'.

Her latest venture is 'Michael Howden: My Life' which was written in collaboration with a friend who uses the pen name 'Michael J Whitwell'.
