Publisher info

Rowena is a multi-award-winning author who started writing at a young age; driven by an inherent need to tell stories that inspire and reflect aspects of life that are rarely considered.

Being a descendant of James Hudson Taylor, author and founder of the China Inland Mission, Rowena comes from a long line of story tellers, including her mother and father. The tradition of writing continues through her daughter, Erika.

Rowena’s goal is to inspire others to tell their stories and share the wonderful gift and adventure of life. She often speaks before groups, sharing her experiences of writing and telling stories. It is a passion of hers that she shares with her mate, Gregg.

Though she is over seventy-five percent blind, she doesn’t allow that to derail her ambitions. Her husband is deaf, so they make the perfect pair. They live on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington with her guide dog Skye-Bear.

Smashwords Interview

What prompted you to write your first book?
I started writing the Spirian series after a feeble attempt at writing my autobiography of which I entitled, This is Not the Life I Ordered! After several attempts at making that story worth reading, I finally decided to turn my tale into a fictional saga scattered with the wonderful people who have helped shape my life. Okay, I had some help with making this decision. One night, while Gregg and I and the kids were enjoying a bonfire in our back yard, we discussed my book. I believe it was my youngest son who said, “Mom, the story sucks.” Ah, the honesty of kids. We then began talking and laughing about possible scenes that would bring the story to life. The Spirian Saga was born.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Creating a world where I am not limited by my blindness. Through my stories, I'm able to do whatever I want, living vicariously through my characters and their adventures. I become them, and they become me. I also enjoy imparting the wisdom I have been blessed with though connections to those more spiritual than average humans. This world is so much more than most can see. It is hidden beneath the subtleties of the breeze, water, and earth. The world in which we live is nothing short of an illusion manifested into a collected reality—fascinating stuff.
