Why Sub Rosa?

Sometimes when you are writing or working on a creative project things just come to you as THE WAY THINGS ARE. There is no arguing with them and you just can’t change them. Sometimes it’s a character getting unruly and other times it’s the title of the book. In many ways, Sub Rosa is an awful title for my book. Almost across the board, my beta readers thought that title should be in the romance genre.

My editor recently sent some bios over for me to review. I had several styles to choose from ranging from snarky to formal. Reviewing them made this whole process start to feel real. I’m not saying I’m not still in a bit of denial – my picture might as well be next to imposter syndrome in the dictionary – but I think I am actually starting to believe that I’m an actual, professional writer.
