The Work of Rose Marie Shaw
I have been a member of Harrogate Writers' Circle for a number of years and have written poetry and many short stories. My poem 'The Wooden Fruit Bowl' won first prize in one of their competitions. I have just published my first novel and am now working on a second.
I live in Harrogate about one mile from the house where I was born. I can trace my ancestors living in Harrogate back 200 years at addresses in Devonshire Place and Christ Church Square. It is their intricate lives that inspired me to write the novel. Although, once I started writing, the book had a life of its own and it took me in all sorts of other directions and different imaginary anecdotes.
Set in the early 19th century it is about life in a fictitious village in the Yorkshire Dales and after lots of research I think it is true to life in those times but ended up nothing like my family history.
The paperback RIBBON OF RIVER by ROSE MARIE SHAW can be bought on line from Amazon and it is also published on Kindle, or a signed copy can be bought from me. Click here to see the book on Amazon.
