Rose, Larkin: - Larkin Rose lives in a blink-and-you've-missed-it town in the beautiful state of South Carolina with her partner, Rose (hence the pen name), along with a portion of their seven brats, a chunky grandson, and too many animals to name. Her writing career began years ago when the voices in her head wouldn't stop their constant chatter. After ruling out multiple personalities and hitting the keyboard, a writer was born.
