About the Author

Rosie took up marathon runnig when she was 48 and has run across Cuba and Romania and even done the gruelling Marathon des Sables in the Sahara. In the 1970s she sailed to Australia and back with her husband and young daughter, giving birth to her son on board. Rosie's run around the world in memory of her husband was followed on her blog www.rosiearoundtheworld.co.uk which her son managed for her on her travels -- Rosie would send him updates to post on her Blackberry, reception permitting. Rosie is already planning her next adventure: a trip across the Bering Straits! When she is not on her adventures, Rosie lives in Tenby, Wales.
