Background
Information
My name is Rowena Cherry, 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 alien romances with chess titles. My first book was FORCED
MATE, MATING NET is the short ebook, and the full length sequel to
FORCED MATE comes out in January 2007 and is called INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL.
My experiences of being "alien" began during my youth when we moved to
the tiny British island of Guernsey: a mystical, idyllic setting with
its prehistoric earth-goddess, historic Martello towers, underground
gun emplacements, and legends of faery men emerging from a cleft in the
Hommet Headland to mate with human women.
Owing to the fairy heritage (or not) the island girls and boys were a
lot shorter than I was, so I was always the male lead or a supporting
male character in school plays, the male dance partner in dancing
lessons, and at mixed sex discos I was a wall flower because I didn't
enjoy bopping with my partner's nose on a level with my bosom.
Many years later, while I was teaching in London, I met and married my
auto designer husband, who whirled me off to Germany to live the
glamorous life of an alien abroad.
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.
