Rosemary Kind turned to writing full-time after a 20 year business career, although she had written as a hobby for many years. Initially focusing on non-fiction with a wide range of magazine articles and a book on negotiation skills to her credit, she then allowed her love of fiction to take over and now has seven titles to her credit, ranging from novels to humour and poetry. She still writes non-fiction and her 'Entlebucher breed notes' appear regularly in the dog press.

She has written her dog's daily diary as a blog for over 10 years and the following has steadily increased over that time. (www.alfiedog.me.uk). She has won a number of prizes and short listings for her poetry, short stories and blog.

She set up the international short story publisher Alfie Dog Fiction in 2012 and has built it to become one of the largest publishers of downloadable short stories in the world.

Rosemary grew up in Leicestershire but now lives with her family in North Yorkshire. Her main hobby is developing the Entlebucher Mountain Dog breed within the UK.
