Chronological Order of Precious Stones Books

Rosie Goodwin is an accomplished published British author.

Before she was a writer, Rosie worked as a foster carer and a placement support worker. After getting through with a teacher training course, she also worked in the social services department. She has had many different children join her family throughout the years. She is married and lives in Nuneaton with her husband Trevor and the dogs they share together. Rosie also sets many of her books in Nuneaton.

Rosie was happy to find out that she was one of the top (250) most often borrowed library authors in the United Kingdom. She thanks her readers and those that have taken out her books to read. She enjoys meeting her readers and fans and is always happy to hear from them. She encourages readers to get in touch and to sign up for her newsletter.

When she was growing up, Rosie usually read anything that she was able to get her hands on. But when she was older and could read books intended for adults, she became a fan of Catherine Cookson and Dennis Wheatley. She says that the genres of sagas and witchcraft were different, but they were her favorites and her literary influences.

Her background was in social services and foster caring, but at some time Rosie transitioned into a full-time author. She had been published for a few years until she gave up fostering, but stopped working as a placement support worker just before her first book was released so that she could focus more of her energy and time on writing.

Rosie’s writing has also made her hometown on Nuneaton familiar with readers, putting it on the map as her setting for many of her stories. She likes to take her characters abroad now even more than ever for her readers since she has more than ever and does this more often than in her earlier books. She does her best to try and start or conclude stories in Nuneaton. Even if a book starts somewhere else, Rosie usually makes sure that this town pops up somewhere in the book.

She admires Catherine Cookson’s work a lot, calling the female author her inspiration. However, the author also thinks that every writer has their own way of writing and unique individual style. It was still a great honor when she was the sole author allowed to write the sequels to Cookson’s trilogies. Rosie did her best to go along with the characters that the writer had created but still wrote them in her own style.

Rosie will read a book in any genre if it is well-written and has a good storyline. Her books are also well in demand, being borrowed frequently from library. For this reason, Rosie enjoys going to library events and interacting with readers who love her work. She does not have as much spare time as she would hope for but says that one fact that her readers might not know about her is that she loves to take the time to go around and visit different curio shops and antique shops. She admits that she is anything but an expert, but she enjoys browsing through and looking at different things that have history, as well as enjoying the atmosphere of those types of places.
