Rosie Oliver has been in love with science fiction ever since as a teenager she discovered a whole bookcase of yellow-covered Gollancz science fiction books in Chesterfield library. It sent her on a world-spinning imaginary journey that has seen her have nearly 40 short stories published - one ended up in the Best of British Science Fiction 2020 anthology, being awarded three Silver Honorable Mentions and eleven Honorable Mentions in the Writers of the Future Contest, and blundering her way to contributing to a scientific research paper while investigating background stuff for a novel. She is currently concentrating on writing science fiction novels... yes plural, meaning in parallel!
