A. Rose Mathieu has been a practicing attorney in California for more than twenty years and finds her most rewarding work to be working with underserved populations. By challenging laws and bringing suits for those with too small of a voice, she has changed legislation for the better. She has always enjoyed writing as an outlet, particularly crafting mysteries with comic relief. Her first try at writing began in fifth grade with a short story that won her the top award in the state. To fulfill her mother’s dream of seeing her write, A. Rose picked up the pen again and began to write novels incorporating her expertise in the field of law.
