Christine M. Rose (born Christine M. Weisheit, November 12, 1969 in Parma, Ohio) is a contemporary American author and freelance writer best known for the Rowan of the Wood fantasy series and several works of fiction in the Steampunk genre under pen name O. M. Grey.

Career[edit]

Rowan of the Wood, Rose's debut novel, won the 2009 National Indie Excellence Award [1] for young adult fiction and received positive reviews from various publications, including Austin Monthly Magazine,[2] Front Street Reviews,[3] Teens Read Too,[4] and the MidWest Book Review.[5]

It was the first in a five-book series of fantasy novels co-written by Rose and her former husband.[6] The storyline revolves around Cullen Knight, an introverted 12-year-old whose mind becomes infused with that of the titular Druid Rowan when Cullen picks up Rowan's wand. Sharing one body, they embark on a quest steeped in Celtic mythology to reunite Rowan with his long lost wife, Fiana.[7][8] In 2021, Rose produced a podcast narrating the initial book in Rowan's Story.[9]

Rose's alternate identity, O. M. Grey, emerged in 2010 as a penname for writing paranormal romance.[10] She published under both names simultaneously until 2013, the year the final book in the Rowan of the Wood series was released.

Avalon Revisited, a steampunk novel by O. M. Grey, became a bestseller of the Gothic romance genre on Amazon.com. It received critical acclaim from fans of the steampunk genre, winning The Steampunk Chronicle's 2012 Reader's Choice Award for Best Fiction.[11] O. M. Grey also published several short stories. Her works include "Dead Mule Crossing," in a Pill Hill Press anthology;[12] "Twenty Minutes," in an SNM Horror Anthology;[13] and "Dust on the Davenport", a story included in a podcast anthology[14] with veteran podcasters and authors Tee Morris and Philippa Ballantine.

O. M. Grey's work gained a considerable following, and she was acknowledged by various conventions. In 2011 Grey appeared as a guest of honor at the Wild Wild West Steampunk Convention[15] in Tucson, Arizona alongside acclaimed author Cherie Priest. She was also honored at the 2011 Steampunk World's Fair[16] in Somerset, New Jersey, and at Aetherfest[17] in San Antonio in both 2011 and 2012.

Rose earned recognition as one of the top 100 Twitter authors of 2009 by by Mashable[18] for her social networking skills. She contributed freelance work to several publications, including "MovieMaker Magazine[19] " and on "CommonDreams[20]". She has also shared her insights into social networking, creative writing, the publishing industry, and marketing for authors on the (now defunct) Best Damn Creative Writing Blog.[21]

Film[edit]

As a filmmaker, Rose wrote, directed, and produced a political documentary called Liberty Bound, which premiered in Paris, France, at a theatre in Place Saint-Michel in 2004. Her second film, Internationally Speaking, voiced opinions on American foreign policy from around the globe, and included an appearance by Noam Chomsky.[citation needed]

Personal life[edit]

Rose keeps a blog [22] where she has alluded to a future memoir titled One Reason to Live. [23] She resides in Portland, Oregon.[24]
