Author Spotlight – TJ Rose

Please help me welcome TJ Rose to the LGBTQIA Author Spotlight. She comes to us from UK – Southwest.

Describe your books/your writing for the readers. 

Action-adventure MM romance, often with a sci-fi/fantasy twist. Complex characters & twisty plots! A good dollop of of angst amongst the sugar and spice!

What is something that makes you unique (personally or within your writing)?

XX

Tell us about your writing process. Where do your ideas come from? Do you plan/plot or totally wing it?

I usually have what I think is a great idea, then when I start writing it, it morphs into something completely different! I would love to know where my crazy ideas have sparked from, but sadly, they don’t tell me.

What was an early experience where you learned that language had power? 

XX

What is your favorite childhood book?

Northern Lights by Philip Pullman – it was the first fantasy book I read that truly immersed me. It definitely influenced my dedication to elaborate worldbuilding!

What is one of the best feelings in the world?

Closing a book after the final page, knowing it will stick with you forever.

If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?

Cats. They’ve got ATTITUDE.

What’s a sound you absolutely love?

Crunching of snow under footsteps!

Favorite snack while writing? 

Apple and peanut butter (yes, it’s a vibe!)

Favorite drink when writing?

All the coffee

Favorite scent?

Parma Violet sweets

If someone is new to your writing, which book would you suggest they start with?

Monsters within Men, my debut (and currently only) novel. My next project, an urban fantasy duology, will release in June this year!
