Death affects and comes to us all. It is silly and futile to ignore it. To find peace we must embrace it as a part of our journey while on this plane of existence. Death, whether of a person, animal, plan, way of life or thing, is the portal for birth or re-birth.

This was a great base from which she branched out into free verse.She gained her Master of Arts from James Cook University in 2012, where she was mentored by Professor Lindsay Simpson.Rosa is now writing novels (Crime novels as Percy Rose, children's as RosieO'Grady, and all other writings as herself.)When not writing Rosa can be found in the garage splashing paint, or on the beach walking her dog, Sinbad.
