  <about><![CDATA[Christine Rose is an entrepreneur at heart. Often described as a &quot;free spirit&quot; she is believed to have gypsy blood running through her veins, which explains why she moves around so much. (Although some claim that she has ants in her pants.) 

She holds her M.A. in English and wrote her Masters Thesis on Malory's Le Morte D'arthur. Her favorite authors include Shakespeare, Swift, and Vonnegut, with a more recent adoration of J.K. Rowling, Frank Beddor, and Charles de Lint.

Christine and Ethan met swing dancing in 1999 and were married a year later. They've traveled together extensively across the USA, in the U.K., Canada and France. Christine's scholarly, goal-oriented background mixed with Ethan's knowledge of fantasy creates an impenetrable team of writers who look forward to writing more books together and to promoting this book across the country and the world. 

They have written two books together: Rowan of the Wood &amp; Witch on the Water
