Hi there! My name is Christine, but I write under the pen name C.W. Rose. I’m a Physical Therapist by day and Fantasy and Romance author by night, writing about ordinary Asian women in extraordinary situations, and find themselves and sometimes (okay, usually) love along the way. I’m also a certified scuba diver and lifeguard and live and work in New York City. Outside of writing and rehabilitating patients, I spend my free time devouring great books, singing karaoke, serving the whims of my Pekingese dog, giving into my insatiable wanderlust, and endlessly searching for new teas and recipes to whip up.

I am the award winning author of Oceansong, and book 2, Midnightsong, is scheduled to be released at the end of 2025.
