As a debut author, I have relied on my friends who have been authors for years. They include award-winning mystery writer, Katherine Hall Page and novelists William Klaber and Joe Freda and non fiction writer, Allison Fine.

As a professional songwriter, playwright and screenwriter, I like to read dramatic literature that is packed with great satire, wit.

If I could live at another time in history, I'd choose the fin de siecle London where I could schmooze with George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde and W.S. Gilbert. Good times!

“Edu-tainer” Elizabeth Rose (that's me)
swore she would never follow the advice of her parents, both teachers, and become a teacher, too. But in between creating music and comedy for stage, film and TV, she took a gig teaching songwriting in a NYC public high school. Her students, mostly from the projects, ignited her with their energy and raw creativity. Frustrated by the school’s outdated technology and lack of a music program, she raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in tech grants enabling her kids to create DVD yearbooks and record original songs. When her job was cut, she was given the choice of substituting in a different school each week–or resigning. She almost resigned. Then she realized that this assignment would give her access to a unique story. So she stayed. And wrote it. She hopes her parents are having an unearthly chuckle.
