Eventually, she decided to give up her job and write romance novels. Author Rosalind says that she was able to achieve success in her life, both as a marketing executive and as a writer because of the fact that many people like to escape to the beautiful country of New Zealand, and she is also one of them.

One of her favorites is Jill Marsal from the Marsal Lyon Agency. Rosalind met her husband in Berkeley when she was just 21 years old. This is the reason why she has a firm belief in finding true love in life and going on to live happily ever after. These feelings also help her to develop the stories of her novels around them.

On one occasion, author Rosalind James had gone to watch the final match of the Rugby World Cup in Wellington during her holidays. She was overwhelmed by the intensity of the people of the entire nation during the World Cup. Witnessing such a thing made her wonder how it feels to be admired instantly and recognized instantly in a country like New Zealand that does not support bad behavior. Also, how difficult it will be to find a perfect life partner from such a huge crowd. This is how she went on to write her first novel titled ‘Just This Once’. And from then on, she did not look back and kept on progressing in her writing career.
