Rosemarie E. Bishop is a multi-genre author who specializes in combining genres in a single story. She reached this point due to her own multi-faceted background . . . and how she always did so many different things at once in her life.
She was born and raised in Lackawanna, NY, married Christopher Bishop in 1992, and moved to New England in 1993. In 1995 she and her husband built their “cabin in the woods” in a small town in New Hampshire where they reside to this day.
Rosemarie is an accomplished musician, having mastered the piano and flute, with many years playing backup guitar in various bands throughout Western New York State.
Her degree in Business Administration eventually led to her career in Sales & Marketing . . . which she has done for many years . . . including starting her own business as a remote freelance copywriter. Throughout that time, however, Rosemarie’s artistic side remained 80% of who she is. As a result, she taught herself graphic design and website creation as a hobby. This “hobby” led to her creating various marketing materials and websites for different businesses.
She has given Customer Service Training Seminars, Reiki Workshops, performed book signings, and given talks on her books that are currently in print.
In 1996 she began her studies in Reiki, the art of hands-on healing. Today she is a Reiki Master/Healer/Teacher and teaches others this ancient healing technique . . . .whenever a student is led to her.
In 2000 Rosemarie was ordained through the Universal Life Church and became Reverend Bishop, though she just likes to be called Rose. Through the church, she obtained a Doctorate of Metaphysics Degree and an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree.
As part of her ministerial duties Rosemarie performs marriages, baptisms, and many spiritual counseling sessions.
Her lifetime fascination with other religions and cultures throughout the world . . . especially the wars between them . . . led to her certification as a Spiritual Counselor. She continues to study other cultures and religions to better understand where the perceived differences lie.
All of these experiences throughout her life . . . most of which are still all happening at the same time . . . continue to influence the subjects she chooses to write about and the way she combines lives, events, and cultural beliefs in a single story.
