Rosemary Hayward is a British transplant to California where she has spent the last twenty years helping Americans do their taxes, growing from parenthood to grandparenthood and learning to write fiction. In 2017 she self-published Margaret Leaving, the story of Jenny North's search for her step-mother, who inexplicably walks out on her family one day, never to return. She has also had short stories published online: Aunt Mary in Pif Magazine, The Schröndinger Cat in Stickman Review and Grandma in Alyss.
Now, retired from doing anybody's taxes except her own, she can do every day what she loves best: writing fiction that plays with the way the past lives in the present, using a lifetime steeped in reading literature and history, and being creative ways that would not be appropriate when dealing with the taxman. And, even better than making up stories, sharing them with other people.
