"RRRoze is an enigmatic writer; his world tantalizing, giving new breath to the post-apocalypse; full of angst, tensions, and questions of truth. It's a tease to the reader's mind, engulfing you more with every passing word." - Alexandria Martinez, author of The Zephyllwen Chronicles

"He's an anarcho-desperado. A covert renegade waging a silent propaganda war against the shadow government to rescue the mass consciousness from the hypnosis devices." - Stefan Lebron, Singer Of Hoohak Flower

"Rose is a breathless storyteller with the heart of a poet, who delivers unmatched ferocity with words unafraid, audacious, and wild. His stories fly out of him as if effortless and by necessity. He captures fleeting details almost fiendishly and allows no textbook standard to gnaw at his originality. Idealistic, fanciful, and impervious to the prodding fingers of the culture which begs one to conform, it is as if Rose is compelled by some mysterious and silent fire lit beyond the ether. In a world of cheap tricks, Rose is a true visionary."
-Lord Rothschild

Rose began writing in 2004 and published E.O.N.S with publishamerica.lame in 2005. In 2012 and 2013 Black Rose Writing first pressed both So It Ends & So It Begins. His titles Jesus Christ!, Before The Aftermath, and Vaguely Vivid are always available for free as E-books through Smashwords.com or for sale in print from Amazon.com. In 2014 Rose published Tai/Dice using the moniker Riqi. Look out for hidden surprises and much more to come in the future.

Smashwords Interview

What do your fans mean to you?
I am not sure that I have fans. I do know I have readers. Each one of them is a very important person to me.
What are you working on next?
I have to edit what I just finished. A title called The Zoa. After that, it wouldn't be a half bad idea to get into the collection of journals I've been wanting to create. Except, I'd like to put out a gargantuan epic soon, so I may as well begin that instead. Maybe I will break routine and keep the two projects going simultaneously. Maybe I will drop them both and write a decent thriller, instead.

    Kansas Bitch needed to be written… Reading this is a vocabulary lesson and that’s your first clue. Malady is a cruel mistress; it is the easiest thing to write and the most difficult thing to read- so the challenge is to make melancholy easy to read and that is a hard thing to do; Ronny does it gracefully and a reader ought to respect that... It’s enjoyable to read quality writing I did not create; very unusual reading unfamiliar words... From his observations I was able to glean subtle idiosyncrasies in the human condition I would not have otherwise been aware of. Nice work bro.
