Rosalie lives in Coverdale, North Yorkshire, the magnificent landscape of which inspires and sometimes provides the settings for her writing.
NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOURS: The house next door stood empty for nearly two years and the Carringtons soon grew accustomed to the extra psychic space. They took to holding séances in the back garden at odd times of the day and night and, more prosaically, were
free to shout to each other from all parts of the house, slam doors whenever they felt like it, and come and go without their every movement being scrutinised.
