Books and Bullshhh with Drica Armstrong and Rocky Rose

"They say I’m a woman of many talents, which is true, my only problem was figuring out which talent(s) I wanted to pursue full time." - ROCKY ROSE

Rocky Rose was born and raised in New Haven, CT. She began writing seriously her sophomore year in high school after her English teacher told her she had a lot of talent. Her story, which was read by many of her friends in high school, showed her that her imagination was phenomenal, and that she could do many wonderful things with her mind. Writing was not only fun for Rocky it also served as an outlet to her for her emotions. She never had the type of relationship with her parents where she could talk to them about anything so she wrote it out. Even though writing came naturally to her, Rocky never once thought about pursuing a writing career, until 2005 when she enrolled herself into the Breaking Into Print writing program, where she completed the course and received her diploma in just two years.

In November of 2010 Rocky met her mentor and sister Karen E. Quinones Miller who told her she had *raw* talent. She began writing her first novel My Man My Abuser, which is about three years of her life in which she was in a domestically violent relationship. In 2012 Rocky wrote I Win You Lose, which is a compilation of six short stories dealing with Domestic Violence.  Rocky is currently working on the sequel to My Man My Abuser, which is titled Stirred and Shaken.

When Rocky isn't writing she enjoys spending time with her daughter, bowling, going to the movies and shooting pool. Rocky resides in New Haven, CT with her daughter.
