About Me
I was born in 1952. I am originally from the Lanarkshire area but have now lived in Livingston for more than thirty years. I am married with three grown-up sons.
Some years ago I studied Psychology, Sociology and Criminology with the Open University and was awarded a B.A. in 1990.
I have always wanted to write fiction; so I took a writing course with The Writers Bureau some years ago. Whilst practising writing synopses, I wrote a description of a story that had been in my mind for years, and I then went straight into writing it up as my first novel.
Melrose Books published my debut novel, which was entitled 'Living a Lie'. This was published under my own name of Elizabeth Scott. I have now self-published it as a paperback with the title of 'Lynsey's Secret', under my pen name of Rosanna Rae. My second novel was published by Austin & Macauley in 2011 and is entitled 'Jo's Dilemma'. My third novel, 'Karen's Affair', was also published in 2011 and my fourth, entitled 'April's Man', came out in 2011. I published 'Lola's Money' in 2015. I have now published my sixth novel, entitled 'Hazel's Home'. All of these books are available as paperbacks and eBooks on Amazon.com. I am now working on my seventh novel.
History of project
I launched this website on 9 July 2010. Its purpose is to showcase my existing novels and to provide news of forthcoming publications. My original publisher was Melrose Books Ltd. My most recent publisher was Austin & Macauley Publishers Ltd. of Canary Wharf, London. I now publish my own novels on Amazon, through Kindle Direct Publishing.
My readers
If you enjoy reading contemporary romantic fiction, you will enjoy the Rosanna Rae novels. My main aim in writing is to entertain the reader, whilst also achieving a high standard of realism. I would describe three of my novels as Contemporary Romance, i.e. Lynsey's Secret, Jo's Dilemma and Hazel's Home, with the other three being Romantic Suspense : Karen's Affair, April's Man and Lola's Money. These are all stand-alone stories and do not form part of a series. They can therefore be read in any order.
