Rosalind Brackenbury
ROSALIND BRACKENBURY was born Rosalind Crabtree in 1942. She was schooled in Sherborne, studied history at Cambridge, and married Michael Brackenbury in 1965. They had two children, but the marriage didn't last. Her first two novels, A Day to Remember to Forget and A Virtual Image, were published in 1971, and were followed by seven more volumes of celebrated fiction and some acclaimed poetry, while she lived in Britain. A long residence in Edinburgh was followed by her decision to remove to the Florida Keys in the early nineteen-nineties, and her marriage to an American, Allen Meece. Since moving there, she has published several more poetry volumes, a children's book, a critical appreciation of Virginia Woolf's writing techniques, a self-help guide for aspiring writers, and ten more works of fiction, including in 2019 her latest novel, the extraordinary Without Her. Currently, alongside writing her own work, Brackenbury helps others as a sought-after teacher of writing workshops.
