About Clyve Rose

Clyve Rose was born in South Africa under the apartheid regime. She has been writing historical romance fiction for the best part of two decades. She works in the historical and genre fiction genres. She also writes Regency era novels. In between her devotion to fiction writing, Clyve researches various mythologies and historical periods, often basing her characters on actual historical personalities.

    When Clyve isn’t writing fiction, she can be found pounding the sand at just about any of the beautiful beaches near her Australian home. She is also addicted to short-haul ocean swims and has a ‘thing’ for Poseidon, ancient Greek god of the Seas. Much of the inspiration in her stories is drawn from the ocean landscapes near her home.

    This novel was longlisted for an early Award for Fiction while still a mere manuscript, while her genre novels include at least five #1 bestsellers. The first piece she ever had published was a fictional biography of an erotica writer who made a living crafting extremely explicit dating profiles for online chat sites. She lives fairly simply these days, sharing her home with a small white demon-dog and a budding Amazon warrior.

    Clyve Rose believes that the past is our greatest teacher, and that love is our best and strongest guide - only manifesting when we are our best and truest selves. Anything less, and we diminish our divinity. She believes she will continue writing about history in all its various, glorious forms, and that one day her epitaph will read ‘just one more read-through’.
