| Hello,
I'm happy to be here. So... I should say a few words about myself?
I'd describe myself as a lifelong lurker and fact magpie, and I write mostly for Dorchester Publishing, but I do have an e-book out with New Concepts Publishing.
I write chess-inspired ("mating") titles about god-Princes from outer space. It’s sexy SFR. Poking fun, (pun intended). Shameless word-play.
My first book was FORCED MATE.
MATING NET is the short ebook. It can be found for around $2.50 at http://www.newconceptspublishing.com/matingnet.htm
My atavar is the cover... isn't he gorgeous?
The full-length sequel to FORCED MATE is called INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL, and is currently a recipient of several awards, and is in the running for one or two others.
Until my marriage, I lived in various parts of the British Isles including Warwickshire, Guernsey, Cambridge, Dorset, London, and a quaint little village just outside Luton.
Shortly before our marriage, my husband was transferred to Germany, where we stayed for eight years... in Koenigstein, then Bad Soden, and finally Moerfelden. I loved Moerfelden. It was a tiny industrial suburb where the locals made special arrangements to keep frogs safe during their breeding season migrations across a local road!
Now I live by a lake in Michigan and seldom see frogs. One morning a week during term time I teach chess to gifted seven year old children. Other mornings, I write.
My life so far has been fantastic inspiration for romance novel scenes and alien-world building, and has afforded me plenty of opportunities to observe aristocrats, political leaders, celebrities, and business leaders in their unnaturally glamorous settings.
In many romance novels, the hero's alpha male perspective changes for the better as a result of --or while--making love to the heroine. I like this paradigm shift to occur during during a game of chess. though my editor doesn’t always give me the word-count to do this!
In FORCED MATE, my arrogant alien hero discovers that he has met his mate in the heroine when she beats him at a war game.
Perhaps the most useful feature on my website http://www.rowenacherry.com/familytree is the interactive family tree. Visitors can click on any of my titles and the names of the major characters will be highlighted.
The other interactive page has some jigsaw puzzles of consenting cover models at www.rowenacherry.com/puzzle
Thank you for your interest!

| Hi, Pam,
Thank you very much for the welcome. I love the title of your blog.
I say, does anyone know this: If I change my sig file (which is embarrassingly long) will all my previous posts' sig files change as well?
Best, Rowena |
