Rosalie embraces new technologies and digital solutions. Her books therefore are always available in print and e-book formats. Rosalie says: "In the midst of 'pots and pans' I often dreamed of writing as many story lines 'popped-up' in my head with my wide range of activities providing me with a rich seam of story-lines! During our first Gold Wing experience in Ireland,I found that the words flowed when recording our profound emotional experiences and realised that I had the beginnings of a story.(These notes lay in a drawer for ten years.) Eventually,after overcoming disaster and changing lives, I concluded that our years of discovery, travelling on our own - 'Just Us Two' - in Europe, formed an inspiring story of adventure, fun and a realisation of dreams. My abiding ethos is that all should be able to develop and achieve their potential as a 'whole' person. This is the focus of a new series of Lifelong Learning:Personal Effectiveness Guides published in 2011." Rosalie writes under a pen name.
