Rose lived in Connecticut with the composer Doug Scofield and their dog, Winka. Before she began her publishing career, Rose graduated from
Syracuse University and worked in advertising, serving as Creative director of Rosenfeld Sirowitz and Lawson. One of her commercials is featured in the
Museum of Modern Art in New York City. After the book sold 2500 copies in digital and paper formats, it was chosen by the
Literary Guild/
Doubleday Book Club and became the first e-book to be subsequently published by a mainstream New York publisher. Following
Lip Service, Rose wrote the thrillers
In Fidelity (2001),
Flesh Tones (2003), and
Sheet Music (2004). Her Butterfield Institute Series introduced protagonist Dr. Morgan Snow, a renowned New York
sex therapist, and includes
The Halo Effect (2005),
The Delilah Complex (2006), and
The Venus Fix (2006). She also wrote the erotic novel,
Lying in Bed (2006). She followed with a series focusing on
reincarnation and other supernatural phenomena, starting with
The Reincarnationist (2007), and continuing with
The Memorist (2008) and

The Book of Lost Fragrances, was released in March 2012.
