About Me

I was born in 1952. I am originally from the Lanarkshire area but have lived in Livingston for more than forty years. I am married with three grown-up sons.

Some years ago I studied Psychology, Sociology and Criminology with the Open University and was awarded a B.A.(Open) in 1990.

I have always wanted to write fiction; so I took a writing course with The Writers Bureau some years ago.  Whilst practising writing synopses, I wrote a description of a story that had been in my mind for years, and I then went straight into writing it up as my first novel.

Melrose Books published my debut novel, 'Living a Lie', under my own name of Elizabeth Scott. I have now self-published it as a paperback with the title of 'Lynsey's Secret', under my pen name of Rosanna Rae. 

My second novel, 'Jo's Dilemma'', was originally published by Austin & Macauley in 2011 and I re-published this in 2013. Between 2007 and 2017, I have self-published six titles: 'Lynsey's Secret', 'Jo's Dilemma', 'Karen's Affair', 'April's Man', 'Lola's Money' and 'Hazel's Home'. All of these books are available as paperbacks and eBooks on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

My seventh title, 'Rebecca's Neighbour', will become available on 1st August 2026.

My readers

My readers are women (and sometimes men also!) who enjoy reading contemporary romantic fiction and/or romantic fiction with suspense.  If you enjoy realistic, 'fly on the wall' dramas, such as soap operas, you will enjoy the Rosanna Rae stories.

My main aim in writing is to entertain the reader, whilst also achieving a high standard of realism. I would describe four of my novels as Contemporary Romance, i.e. Lynsey's Secret, Jo's Dilemma, Hazel's Home and Rebecca's Neighbour. I would classify the other three as Romantic Suspense, i.e. Karen's Affair, April's Man and Lola's Money. These are all stand-alone stories and do not form part of a series. They can therefore be read in any order.
