Bio

The birth of Elizabeth Rose by the light of a hurricane lamp on the dining room table in the Himalayan foothills during the last decade of the British Raj precurses an unusual life ahead. A Raj orphan shipped from India aged seven, roaming the moors of an English children’s home, feral, her imagination developed un-schooled and un-censored. Wife, mother, Speech Pathologist, and sculptor, with the same passion she gave to each career, she now gives to her writing. Influenced by her step-father, the author, John Masters, she joined SouthWest Writers in 2008 to craft this historical biography of her birth-father’s life. She has received more than a dozen awards to date. Emigrating from England in 1986 she now lives and works in Galisteo, New Mexico, USA.


Books

Title: The Perfect Servant…Nope
Published: Studio on 41 Press (2018)
Genre: Memoir

Golden years? What are those? Where is my damn deckchair? Caregiving, like my husband’s Parkinson’s Disease, is a retirement neither of us planned. Lacking the courage to vent my anger and frustration by hurling plates at a wall, I decided instead to write a weekly blog and save my china. Many months since that first angry outpouring, it’s clear the tone of my writing has changed…become calmer. Can it be I’m more contented now that I’ve better accepted my caregiving role? Hell, though it is, the intention of exposing our personal journey to the public eye is to show other desperate caregivers and their partners we, perhaps all of us, share many of the same struggles.

Publisher: Studio on 41 Press (2015)
Genre: Historical Biography

Caught in two World Wars, pre-Mutiny skirmishes, and the Great Sepoy Rebellion, the true saga of lives not so “pukkha” as might be supposed. Hugh’s back-story exposes child marriage, an adulterous affair over many summers in a Himalayan Hill Station, illegitimate pregnancies and banishment to England. More a poet than a soldier, Hugh, a British Officer of the Raj, serves with the 3rd Queen Alexandra’s Own Gurkha Rifles in the Kyber Pass bordering the Northwest Frontier Afghanistan. Mountain trekking, skiing, gentlemen’s sports, bandits, tribal warlords, missionaries, ordinary men and ghosts are not enough. Bored, Hugh seconds to the Political and Foreign Service in Arabia, Persia, and Waziristan, until disgraced, he is “invited” to return to his regiment. A naked Colonel’s dictum “conformity kills” guides Hugh’s adventurous life. Partition frees both India and Hugh.
