Prone to daydreams and fantasies since childhood, she wrote her first novel at the age of eight, and throughout her teens penned passionately romantic epics in the style of her favourite writers.

Rosemary began her writing career while working full-time as a secretary for the California Parks Department. A divorced mother of four, Rosemary was struggling to raise her children on a meager secretary's salary. During lunch hours and late at night after the children had fallen asleep, Rosemary put pen to paper, capturing the steamy romantic fantasy that played itself out so vividly in her imagination.

A stickler for detail, Rosemary rewrote her first manuscript 23 times, toiling over the historical accuracies. Until the day her teenage daughter found the manuscript in a drawer, and encouraged her mother to send her novel off to a publishing house.

The hours of revision paid off when the unsolicited, unagented manuscript was accepted immediately for publication. That novel, Sweet Savage Love, skyrocketed to the top of bestseller lists, and became one of the most popular historical romances of all time. Throughout her career, Rosemary has written over 16 novels, sold millions upon millions of copies worldwide, and her novels have been translated into 11 languages. Rosemary makes her home in Connecticut.","bio_short":"","image":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0016251/x145.jpg","on_tour":false,"featured":false,"deceased":false,"sensitivity":"0","locale":"","custom":{"algoliaKey":"fa1efa0a8598a97cd4be26b5af36ce52-0","export_hash":"c19bff7ed9e3aeb4dacb10f6a35a0457a02ec8cb48a09e6e52c51d61f26be4b5"},"events":null,"awards":null,"assets":[{"id":"213896-100661","asset_id":"100661","asset":{"id":"213896","unique":"x500-rosemary-rogers-Contributors","name":"rosemary-rogers-author-photo","description":null,"type":"image","sub_type":"author-photo","order":"1","size":"500","height":null,"width":"500","embed":null,"path":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0016251/x145.jpg","source":"new-image-import","schedule":"2025-04-10 00:00:00"}}],"books":[{"description":"
