M.J. Rose
M.J. Rose is the international bestselling author of The Halo Effect, The Delilah Complex, The Venus Fix and The Reincarnationist.
Getting published has been an adventure for M.J. who self-published Lip Service late in 1998 after several traditional publishers turned it down. Editors had loved it, but didn`t know how to position it or market it since it didn`t fit into any one genre. Frustrated, but curious and convinced that there was a readership for her work, she set up a web site where readers could download her book and began to seriously market the novel on the Internet.
After selling over 2500 copies (in both electronic and trade paper format) Lip Service became the first e-book and the first self-published novel chosen by the LiteraryGuild/Doubleday Book Club as well as being the first e-book to go on to be published by a mainstream New York publishing house.
Rose has been profiled in Time magazine, Forbes, The New York Times, Business 2.0, Working Woman, Newsweek and New York Magazine.
M.J. graduated from Syracuse University, was a creative director at a New York City advertising agency and has a commercial in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She lives in Connecticut.
She is a founding member and board member of International Thriller Writers and the founder of the first marketing company for authors: AuthorBuzz.com. She runs two popular blogs; Buzz, Balls & Hype and Backstory.
The Venus Fix, the third book in the Dr Morgan Snow trilogy, has sold over 15,000 copies in the UK, and spent two weeks in The Bookseller’s Top 20 Fiction Heatseekers Chart.
