Hello, to all my readers, here in the UK and all over the world. I currently write for Boldwood Books as Rosie Clarke. My books are gritty, emotional stories with characters that reach out to the reader and draw you into their world. They want you to become their friend as they tell you of their loves, hates, grief and happiness. Mostly set during the two World Wars they are usually in series, though now and then I do a standalone.

My current series are:

The Harpers Emporium series, now into its eight book and continuing.

The Mulberry Lane series, ten published.

Blackberry Farm series. Three published and a fourth out in 2025

Dressmakers Alley series. One out and the second published early next year.

The new Dressmakers Alley series will have connections with both Mulberry Lane and also Harpers. As the series goes on we might even discover Peggy from Mulberry Lane when she was young. How much fun can we have with that?

There are also several other trilogies and standalones in my list at Amazon.

I write for pleasure and hope to give pleasure to my readers. I thank all my readers most sincerely for reading my books and I love to hear when you enjoy them. If I can make you smile or perhaps shed a tear then I've done all I could hope for. Sending warmest wishes, Rosie Clarke.

Tumultuous events and relationships with war and treachery involving exceptional characters with strong and believable traits. This storyline was captivating; compelling and intriguing circumstances that made me cry; hurt and even laughed at times. Bringing all the characters together through your superb talents of storytelling was very believable and strong. Really, really enjoyed reading this book and the characters of this series were awesome.

4.0 out of 5 stars For fans of the genre
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019
Oh sigh. Three women, all dealing with the pain of losing a loved one to WWII. Georgie, Hetty, and Beth are very different but each of them is coping with tragedy. Georgie's husband has died but she's reunited with her earlier love- and then he heads overseas. Beth's pregnant and her husband, a pilot, has gone missing. Hetty - oh Hetty- she went to France as a young woman and now that she's stuck there she's working with the Resistance. Clarke weaves together these three women in a way that might not surprise you but will keep you reading. This notes that it's the third in a series but read it as a standalone as it's meant to be linked but not successive of the others. Thanks to net galley for the ARC. Fans of this genre will enjoy it.

Intense emotional journey with four woman during World War 2 located in Britain and France. Lots of twists and turns, love and loss. Hard to say enjoyable but it was a very interesting read. I look forward to reading more from this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Final book in Women at War trilogy
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019
Hetty’s Secret War can be read as a standalone, but you will find it confusing in the beginning. I suggest you read Jessie’s Promise and The Runaway Wife before embarking on Hetty’s Secret War. You will have a better understanding of the characters and their situations. I have always found World War II a fascinating time period (I would not have wanted to experience it though). Women were encouraged to work outside the home and take on tasks that were previously done by men. It was a difficult time, but people rallied together for the war effort. This is what we see in Hetty’s Secret War. I found the story nicely written with a variety of characters in different situations. There is foul language and intimate scenes included in the book (fair warning). While the book focused on Hetty, Beth and Georgie, we also catch up with Annabel. I like how the separate characters stories intertwined to create one charming book. They face losses and experience heartache, but there is joy as well. Hetty experiences danger and life threatening situations. Despite the hardships, they continued to have hope and faith as well as the comfort of family and friends. The ending had me smiling. Hetty’s Secret War is an emotional novel that will touch your heart.
