She has travelled extensively to the Hawaiian and Cook islands; Mexico; Costa Rica; parts of the Caribbean; much of Western Europe; coast-to-coast Canadian provinces; several US mainland cities (working in a couple).

Although both the outdoors and exercise do happen when she isn’t being productive, she is unable to boast kayaking or mountain biking in Beautiful British Columbia or surfing the spectacular Maui coast. Instead, she can often be found glued to UK and Irish whodunits.

Rosalind gravitated early to pencil and paper, enthusiastically producing rhymes and stories by mid-childhood. To her family, the artistic value of any such handiwork was secondary to the bliss of silence her creative spurts afforded. It would be much later in life that she’d realize writing wasn’t just what people did and that not everyone fell asleep with pen and notebook dropping from their hands.

The inspiration for More Nights on Maui was Maui itself, however, Rosalind’s desire — common to very many authors — to simply bear witness, give voice to the reticent, has motivated her for decades to write this book. Since the first time she realized (long before learning the phrase) that the true bond of her people was a “conspiracy of silence,” which had generationally negated personal and cultural consequences alike, Rosalind has wanted nothing more than to free by telling, though neither on nor all. The intention of her work, failing changing the world as we know it, is to share the light that shines only on the other side of affirming reality. 

Rosalind adores dogs, cats (essentially any friendly animal), and humans but, for her, home will ever be where birds chirp.
